Biogeographic dynamics of graptolite species during the end-Ordovician mass extinction in South China [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023
Spatial and temporal analysis of geographical biodiversity dynamics and reconstruction of species distribution areas are essential for revealing the patterns of evolution of graptolites and their survival strategies during bio-events.

Reduced Marine Molybdenum Inventory Related to Enhanced Organic Carbon Burial and an Expansion of Reducing Environments in the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) Oceans

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2022
Many metals present in trace concentrations in the oceans are sensitive to reduction and oxidation reactions (termed redox‐sensitive trace metals or RSTMs) and can therefore be affected during intervals of expanded oceanic anoxia and euxinia (anoxic and ...

Deriving physical parameters of unresolved star clusters. II. The degeneracies of age, mass, extinction, and metallicity

open access: yes, 2014
This paper is the second of a series that investigates the stochasticity and degeneracy problems that hinder the derivation of the age, mass, extinction, and metallicity of unresolved star clusters in external galaxies when broad-band photometry is used.

Phylogenetic Clustering of Origination and Extinction across the Late Ordovician Mass Extinction.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Mass extinctions can have dramatic effects on the trajectory of life, but in some cases the effects can be relatively small even when extinction rates are high.

Bibliography of Henri Fontaine (1954 – 2015) with keywords and appendix [PDF]

open access: yesResearch & Knowledge, 2018
This bibliography lists all publications by Henri Fontaine from 1954 to 2015. Out of 313 titles, he is sole or main author of 279 articles (with reference numbers from 20 to 298) and co-author of the remainder.

The Structure of Molecular Clouds: II - Column Density and Mass Distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The formation of stars is inextricably linked to the structure of their parental molecular clouds. Here we take a number of nearby giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and analyse their column density and mass distributions.

Extinction magnitude of animals in the near future

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
There have been five major mass extinctions and some minor mass extinctions of animals since early animal diversification 540–520 Myr ago. It is said that a sixth mass extinction is already underway.

No Consistent Shift in Leaf Dry Mass per Area Across the Cretaceous—Paleogene Boundary

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The Chicxulub bolide impact has been linked to a mass extinction of plants at the Cretaceous—Paleogene boundary (KPB; ∼66 Ma), but how this extinction affected plant ecological strategies remains understudied.

The Circumstellar Extinction of Planetary Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We analyze the dependence of circumstellar extinction on core mass for the brightest planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Magellanic Clouds and M31. We show that in all three galaxies, a statistically significant correlation exists between the two quantities ...

The tree balance signature of mass extinction is erased by continued evolution in clades of constrained size with trait-dependent speciation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The kind and duration of phylogenetic topological "signatures" left in the wake of macroevolutionary events remain poorly understood. To this end, we examined a broad range of simulated phylogenies generated using trait-biased, heritable speciation ...
