The Permian-Triassic mass extinction was the most severe biotic crisis in past 500 million years. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain crisis, but few account for spectrum of selectivity and subsequent recovery. Here we show that selective losses are best accounted by a combination lethally warm, shallow waters anoxic deep acted severely restrict habitable area narrow mid-water refuge zone. relative tolerance groups this double whammy provides first clear explanation during...
Abstract Climate change is a critical factor affecting biodiversity. However, the quantitative relationship between temperature and extinction unclear. Here, we analyze magnitudes rates of marine fossils through past 450 million years (Myr). The results show that both rate magnitude are significantly positively correlated with animals. Major mass extinctions in Phanerozoic can be linked to thresholds climate (warming or cooling) equate >5.2 °C >10 °C/Myr. significant still exists when...
Finely preserved fossil assemblages (lagerstätten) provide crucial insights into evolutionary innovations in deep time. We report an exceptionally Early Triassic assemblage, the Guiyang Biota, from Daye Formation near Guiyang, South China. High-precision uranium-lead dating shows that age of Biota is 250.83 +0.07/–0.06 million years ago. This only 1.08 ± 0.08 after severe Permian-Triassic mass extinction, and this assemblage therefore represents oldest known Mesozoic lagerstätte found so...
Abstract Banded iron formations were a prevalent feature of marine sedimentation ~3.8–1.8 billion years ago and they provide key evidence for ferruginous oceans. The disappearance banded at ~1.8 was traditionally taken as the demise oceans, but recent geochemical studies show that conditions persisted throughout later Precambrian, even Phanerozoic ocean anoxic events. Here, to reconcile these observations, we track evolution oceanic Fe-concentrations by considering temporal record red beds....

During the Marinoan Ice Age (ca. 654-635 Ma), one of 'Snowball Earth' events in Cryogenian Period, continental icesheets reached tropical oceans. Oceanic refugia must have existed for aerobic marine eukaryotes to survive this event, as evidenced by benthic phototrophic macroalgae Songluo Biota preserved black shales interbedded with glacial diamictites late Nantuo Formation South China. However, environmental conditions that allowed these organisms thrive are poorly known. Here, we report...
The upper Ediacaran Miaohe Member (∼551 Ma) in South China contains exceptionally preserved macroscopic carbonaceous compression fossils that provide a crucial view of the marine ecosystem shortly before Cambrian explosion. However, these were previously known only from one locality near Village on northern bank Yangtze River. It was puzzling equivalent strata short distance away contained no fossils, raising questions about environmental, ecological and taphonomic restriction fossils. Here,...
Eruption of the Siberian Traps large igneous province (LIP) is thought to have triggered Permian-Triassic biological crisis, largest Phanerozoic mass extinctions. Mercury concentration enrichments been widely used as a proxy for volcanic inputs sediments, especially ancient LIP eruptions. However, detailed correlations magmatic pulses with extinction events in terrestrial and marine realms are not fully resolved. Here we use paired coronene (a six-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon,...
Extinction selectivity determines the direction of macroevolution, especially during mass extinction; however, its driving mechanisms remain poorly understood. By investigating physiological marine animals Permian-Triassic extinction, we found that clades with lower O
Abstract Wrinkle structures in rocks younger than the Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) extinction have been reported repeatedly marine strata, but rarely mentioned recording land. Here, three newly studied terrestrial P-Tr boundary rock succession North China yielded diverse wrinkle structures. All of these wrinkles are preserved barely bioturbated shore-shallow lacustrine siliciclastic deposits Liujiagou Formation. Conversely, both underlying Sunjiagou Formation and overlying Heshanggou show rich...
The largest mass extinction of biota in the Earth's history occurred during Permian-Triassic transition and included two extinctions, one each at latest Permian (first phase) earliest Triassic (second phase). High seawater temperature surface water accompanied by euxinic deep-intermediate water, intrusion to a decrease pH, hypercapnia have been proposed as direct causes marine crisis. For first-phase extinction, we here add causal mechanism beginning from massive soil rock erosion leading...
Urban parks include water bodies, non-hardened ground, and a variety of vegetation, whose shading evaporation effects form “park cold island.” A park effectively cools the surrounding environment through heat exchange. This phenomenon is called spillover cooling effect (PCS) plays an important role in regulating microclimate cities. Although PCS was extensively documented previous studies, landscape features on still need to be further explored, especially China with rapid urban expansion....
