The early Paleozoic sediments document two major biological events: the Great Ordovician
Biodiversification Event (GOBE) and Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME). Many …

Abstract The Ordovician Period records an extraordinary biodiversity increase known as the
Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE), which coincided with a series of …

The Ordovician biodiversification has been recognized since the 1960s; the term 'The Great
Ordovician Biodiversification Event', abbreviated by many as the 'GOBE', has been used for …

The 'Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event'(GOBE) saw a spectacular increase in marine
biodiversity at all taxonomic levels largely within the phyla established much earlier during …

Abstract The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) was the most rapid and
sustained increase in marine Phanerozoic biodiversity. What generated this biotic response …

Marine biodiversity increased markedly during the Ordovician Period (~ 487–443 million
years ago). Some intervals within the Ordovician were associated with unusually rapid and …

Diversification is a key property of life. Building on John Phillips'(1860) classic, iconic curve,
Phanerozoic biodiversity trajectories have been based, subsequently, on the availability of …

The rise and diversification of shelled invertebrate life in the early Phanerozoic eon occurred
in two major stages. During the first stage (termed as the Cambrian explosion), a large …

The phylogeographical evolution and the consequent changing distribution and diversity of
rhynchonelliform brachiopods through the Ordovician are linked to the dynamic …

Abstract Biotic Immigration Events (BIMEs) record the large-scale dispersal of taxa from one
biogeographic area to another and have significantly impacted biodiversity throughout …
