Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Invasive species and biodiversity crises: testing the link in the late devonian. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 During the Late Devonian Biodiversity Crisis, the primary driver of biodiversity decline was the dramatic reduction in speciation rates, not elevated extinction rates; however, the causes of speciation decline have been previously unstudied.

Devonian geoheritage of Siberia: A case of the northwestern Kemerovo region of Russia
Heliyon, 2023 Southern Siberia demonstrates significant richness of the geological environment, but its uniqueness remains known poorly. Four geosites represent sections of Givetian–Famennian (Middle–Late Devonian) deposits formed in the tectonically active zone where

Biostratigraphy of the Upper Devonian–Lower Carboniferous deposits in Til-Abad section, northeast Shahrud, Eastern Alborz [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2020 The biostratigraphy of Devonian–Carboniferous (D/C) boundary of Til-Abad section in Eastern alborz is carried out in this study. The studied section is located about 85 km of northeast Shahrud city and close to the Shahrud–Azadshahr road.

High lineage survivorship across the end-Devonian Mass Extinction suggested by a remarkable new Late Devonian actinopterygian [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractA mass extinction at the end of the Devonian is thought to have had a major influence on the evolution of actinopterygians (ray-finned fishes), which comprise half of living vertebrates. This extinction appears to have acted as a bottleneck, paring the early diversity of the group to a handful of survivors.

Paleozoic–Mesozoic Eustatic Changes and Mass Extinctions: New Insights from Event Interpretation
Life, 2020 Recent eustatic reconstructions allow for reconsidering the relationships between the fifteen Paleozoic–Mesozoic mass extinctions (mid-Cambrian, end-Ordovician, Llandovery/Wenlock, Late Devonian, Devonian/Carboniferous, mid-Carboniferous, end-Guadalupian,

The lower jaw of Devonian ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii): Anatomy, relationships, and functional morphology. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Ostracods Late Devonian mass extinction: the Schmidt quarry parastratotype (Kellerwald, Germany) [PDF]
Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series IIA - Earth and Planetary Science, 1998 Abstract Sixty-eight ostracod species have been recognized (the benthonic one for the first time) close to the Frasnian/Famennian boundary in the Schmidt quarry parastratotype. In the Late Frasnian, ostracods belong to an assemblage of the Eifelian ecotype and to the Myodocopid ecotype.
