A new species of mixosaurid ichthyosaur from the Middle Triassic of Luxi County, Yunnan Province, South China [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica PolonicaIchthyosaurs, an iconic lineage of Mesozoic marine reptiles, were an important component of recovering ecosystems after the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction event.

Microfossil assemblages and geochemistry for interpreting the incidence of the Jenkyns Event (early Toarcian) in the south-eastern Iberian Palaeomargin (External Subbetic, SE Spain) [PDF]
Journal of Micropalaeontology, 2020 By studying the facies, geochemistry, and microfossil assemblages of the uppermost Pliensbachian and lower Toarcian of the Cueva del Agua section, I was able to appraise the impact of the Jenkyns Event in the eastern part of the South Iberian ...

The main stage of recovery after the end-Permian mass extinction: taxonomic rediversification and ecologic reorganization of marine level-bottom communities during the Middle Triassic [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The recovery of marine life from the end-Permian mass extinction event provides a test-case for biodiversification models in general, but few studies have addressed this episode in its full length and ecological context.

Lessons from the past: Biotic recoveries from mass extinctions [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Although mass extinctions probably account for the disappearance of less than 5% of all extinct species, the evolutionary opportunities they have created have had a disproportionate effect on the history of life. Theoretical considerations and simulations have suggested that the empty niches created by a mass extinction should refill rapidly after ...

Ferns as facilitators of community recovery following biotic upheaval
BioScienceAbstract The competitive success of ferns has been foundational to hypotheses about terrestrial recolonization following biotic upheaval, from wildfires to the Cretaceous–Paleogene asteroid impact (66 million years ago). Rapid fern recolonization in primary successional environments has been hypothesized to be driven by ferns’ high spore

New keratose sponges after the end‐Permian extinction provide insights into biotic recoveries
Geobiology, 2023 AbstractWe challenge the prevailing view that the end‐Permian extinction impeded the Triassic evolution of sponges. Here, we report a deep‐water community dominated by abundant keratose sponges in the lowest Triassic strata from Southwest China. The sponge fossils occur as dark elliptical imprints in mudstone with distinct oscula on their tops.
