Patterns of evolution and extinction in proetid trilobites during the late Devonian mass extinction event, Canning Basin, Western Australia

Palaeontology, 2013
Abstract:  In the early Late Devonian, terminal Frasnian proetid trilobites have previously only been known from Europe and North Africa. For the first time, a rich fauna of late Frasnian proetids is described from the Virgin Hills Formation, Canning Basin, Western Australia.

Paleontology: Outrunning Time [PDF]

, 2017
In this paper, I discuss several temporal aspects of paleontology from a philosophical perspective. I begin by presenting the general problem of “taming” deep time to make it comprehensible at a human scale, starting with the ...

Investigating Devonian trees as geo-engineers of past climates: linking palaeosols to palaeobotany and experimental geobiology [PDF]

, 2015
We present the rationale for a cross-disciplinary investigation addressing the ‘Devonian plant hypothesis’ which proposes that the evolutionary appearance of trees with deep, complex rooting systems represents one of the major biotic feedbacks on ...

Endemism and Conservation of Hemiptera on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Endemism patterns of Hemiptera on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) are mainly driven by historical climate change. Existing protected areas do not sufficiently cover endemism hotspots. ABSTRACT The Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau is essential for the maintenance of global biodiversity.

Lungfish diversity in Romer's Gap: Reaction to the end-Devonian extinction [PDF]

, 2016
Romer’s Gap, the interval following the end-Devonian extinction event, has been described as a post extinction trough for vertebrates. It is a time roughly equivalent to the Tournaisian stage of the early Carboniferous, and has been characterized by a ...

New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025 (NZGT 2025) is the first comprehensive update and revision of the New Zealand Geological Timescale in a decade. The criteria used to establish age ranges of New Zealand Stages within the NZGT have been reviewed, calibrated, and revised where required against the 2023/04 International Chronostratigraphic Chart and ...

Power, competition, and the nature of history [PDF]

, 2019
Historians have debated whether pathways and events from the past to the present are influenced largely by contingency, the dependence of outcomes on particular prior conditions, or whether there is long-term emergent directional change.

Evolution of the Transantarctic Basin (Southern Gondwana): Insights From Quantitative Sandstone Petrography

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The deposition of the sandstone sedimentary succession of the Beacon Supergroup lasted more than 200 Myr (Devonian to Early Jurassic) in Victoria Land and nearby territories in the so‐called Transantarctic Basin, recording crucial events in the history of the Earth.

Tabulate Corals after the Frasnian/Famennian Crisis: A Unique Fauna from the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Famennian tabulate corals were very rare worldwide, and their biodiversity was relatively low. Here we report a unique tabulate fauna from the mid- and late Famennian of the western part of the Holy Cross Mountains (Kowala and Ostrówka), Poland.
