Archosauromorph extinction selectivity during the Triassic–Jurassic mass extinction [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2018 AbstractMany traits have been linked to extinction risk among modern vertebrates, including mode of life and body size. However, previous work has indicated there is little evidence that body size, or any other trait, was selective during past mass extinctions.

On Triassic Murchisonia-like gastropods—surviving the end-Permian extinction to become extinct in the Late Triassic [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 High-spired Murchisonia-like slit-band gastropods are an important component of late Paleozoic gastropod faunas. Twenty-seven genera of such gastropods have been reported from the Permian, most of which representing the caenogastropod family ...

Reduced strength and increased variability of extinction selectivity during mass extinctions
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Two of the traits most often observed to correlate with extinction risk in marine animals are geographical range and body size. However, the relative effects of these two traits on extinction risk have not been investigated systematically for either background times or during mass extinctions.

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 Facilitation of fear extinction is a desirable action for the drugs to treat fear-related diseases, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We previously reported that a selective agonist of the δ-opioid receptor (DOP), KNT-127, facilitates ...

Translational Psychiatry, 2022 Individuals deal with adversity and return to a normal lifestyle when adversity ends. Nevertheless, in specific cases, traumas may be preceded by memory distortions in stress-related malaises, and memory extinction impairment is strictly associated with ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Extinction memory destabilized by recall is restabilized through mTOR-dependent reconsolidation in the hippocampus, but the upstream pathways controlling these processes remain unknown.

A comparison of the effects of random and selective mass extinctions on erosion of evolutionary history in communities of digital organisms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The effect of mass extinctions on phylogenetic diversity and branching history of clades remains poorly understood in paleobiology. We examined the phylogenies of communities of digital organisms undergoing open-ended evolution as we subjected them to ...

Variations of the Selective Extinction Across the Galactic Bulge - Implications for the Galactic Bar [PDF]
, 1995 We propose a new method to investigate the coefficient of the selective extinction, based on two band photometry. This method uses red clump stars as a means to construct the reddening curve.

Self-extinction through optimizing selection
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2013 Evolutionary suicide is a process in which selection drives a viable population to extinction. So far, such selection-driven self-extinction has been demonstrated in models with frequency-dependent selection. This is not surprising, since frequency-dependent selection can disconnect individual-level and population-level interests through environmental ...
