Extensive host-switching of avian feather lice following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2019 Nearly all lineages of birds host parasitic feather lice. Based on recent phylogenomic studies, the three major lineages of modern birds diverged from each other before the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event.

The role of temporal abundance structure and habitat preferences in the survival of conodonts during the mid-early Silurian Ireviken mass extinction event. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The Ireviken event was one of the most intense extinction episodes that occurred during the mid-Paleozoic era. It had a strong global effect on a range of clades, with conodonts, graptolites and chitinozoans affected most.

How predictable are mass extinction events?
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Many modern extinction drivers are shared with past mass extinction events, such as rapid climate warming, habitat loss, pollution and invasive species.

The Origin of the Legumes is a Complex Paleopolyploid Phylogenomic Tangle Closely Associated with the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) Mass Extinction Event. [PDF]
Syst Biol, 2021 The consequences of the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary (KPB) mass extinction for the evolution of plant diversity remain poorly understood, even though evolutionary turnover of plant lineages at the KPB is central to understanding assembly of the ...

Gastropods underwent a major taxonomic turnover during the end-Triassic marine mass extinction event. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Based on an exhaustive database of gastropod genera and subgenera during the Triassic-Jurassic transition, origination and extinction percentages and resulting diversity changes are calculated, with a particular focus on the end-Triassic mass extinction ...

Surviving the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event: A terrestrial stem turtle in the Cenozoic of Laurasia. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Findings of terrestrial stem turtles are not uncommon at Mesozoic continental sites in Laurasia, especially during the Upper Cretaceous. Thus, the record of several lineages is known in uppermost Cretaceous ecosystems in North America (Helochelydridae ...

Timing and pacing of the Late Devonian mass extinction event regulated by eccentricity and obliquity. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 The Late Devonian envelops one of Earth’s big five mass extinction events at the Frasnian–Famennian boundary (374 Ma). Environmental change across the extinction severely affected Devonian reef-builders, besides many other forms of marine life.

Bolide impact triggered the Late Triassic extinction event in equatorial Panthalassa. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Extinctions within major pelagic groups (e.g., radiolarians and conodonts) occurred in a stepwise fashion during the last 15 Myr of the Triassic. Although a marked decline in the diversity of pelagic faunas began at the end of the middle Norian, the ...

Subsequent biotic crises delayed marine recovery following the late Permian mass extinction event in northern Italy. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 The late Permian mass extinction event was the largest biotic crisis of the Phanerozoic and has the longest recovery interval of any extinction event.

Salinity changes and anoxia resulting from enhanced run-off during the late Permian global warming and mass extinction event [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2018 The late Permian biotic crisis had a major impact on marine and terrestrial environments. Rising CO2 levels following Siberian Trap volcanic activity were likely responsible for expanding marine anoxia and elevated water temperatures.
