Paleotemperature record of the Middle Devonian Kačák Episode. [PDF]
AbstractThe Middle Devonian Epoch, ~ 393–383 million years ago, is known for a peak in diversity and highest latitudinal distribution of coral and stromatoporoid reefs. About 388 million years ago, during the late Eifelian and earliest Givetian, climax conditions were interrupted by the polyphased Kačák Episode, a short-lived period of marine dys ...

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.

Early sarcopterygian morphological disparity through the Devonian-Carboniferous crisis [PDF]
Major morphological adaptations characterized the early evolutionary history of sarcopterygians during the Devonian (419–359 Ma) and the Carboniferous (359–299 Ma), punctuated by environmental changes and biodiversity crises.
