The long history of life on Earth has unfolded as a cause-and-effect relationship with the
evolving amount of oxygen (O2) in the oceans and atmosphere. Oxygen deficiency …

Abstract The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition, which incorporates the radiation of animals,
lacks a robust global temporal and spatial framework, resulting in major uncertainty in the …

The rise of complex macroscopic life occurred during the Ediacaran Period, an interval that
witnessed large-scale disturbances to biogeochemical systems. The current Ediacaran …

Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient that is thought to control oceanic oxygen levels to a large
extent,–. A possible increase in marine phosphorus concentrations during the Ediacaran …

The largest negative inorganic carbon isotope excursion in Earth's history, namely the
Ediacaran Shuram Excursion (SE), closely followed by early animal radiation, has been …

The emergence of the Ediacara biota soon after the Gaskiers glaciation ca. 580 million years
ago (Ma) implies a possible glacial fuse for the evolution of animals. However, the timing of …

Abstract The Ediacaran Period (~ 635–539 Ma) is marked by the emergence and
diversification of complex metazoans linked to ocean redox changes, but the processes and …

Abstract The Ediacaran Shuram carbon isotope excursion (CIE) follows the regional
Gaskiers glaciation and occurs before the appearance of macroscopic animal fossils …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The emergence and diversification of early animals is commonly thought to have coincided
with atmosphere and ocean oxygenation across the terminal Neoproterozoic and early …
