Did avian-like pulmonary anatomy increase the susceptibility of dinosaurs to fungal diseases? Extending the “fungal infection mammalian selection” hypothesis

mBio
The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) bolide impact caused the extinction of over half of all plant and animal species. The “fungal infection mammalian-selection” (FIMS) hypothesis, first proposed in 2005, suggested that a post-K-Pg fungal bloom created ...

Mass Extinctions Caused by Large Bolide Impacts

Physics Today, 1987
A wealth of evidence has forced my colleagues and me to conclude that 65 million years ago a mountain-sized object hit Earth and caused the extinction of most of the then existing species, bringing a close to the Cretaceous period of geological history and opening the Tertiary period. Much of the evidence for this lies in the unusual layer of clay that

GOES GLM, biased bolides, and debiased distributions

Icarus
The large combined field of view of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instruments onboard the GOES weather satellites makes them useful for studying the population of other atmospheric phenomena, such as bolides. Being a lightning mapper, GLM has many detection biases when applied to non-lightning and these systematics must be studied and ...
