Flat latitudinal diversity gradient caused by the Permian–Triassic mass extinction
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance The deep-time dynamics of the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), especially through dramatic events like mass extinctions, can provide invaluable insights into the biotic responses to global changes, yet they remain largely underexplored.

Reassessment of the evidence for postcranial skeletal pneumaticity in Triassic archosaurs, and the early evolution of the avian respiratory system. [PDF]
, 2012 Uniquely among extant vertebrates, birds possess complex respiratory systems characterised by the combination of small, rigid lungs, extensive pulmonary air sacs that possess diverticula that invade (pneumatise) the postcranial skeleton, unidirectional ...

The Early Evolution of Rhynchosaurs [PDF]
, 2016 The rhynchosaurian archosauromorphs are an important and diverse group of fossil tetrapods that first appeared during the Early Triassic and probably became extinct during the early Late Triassic (early Norian).

Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]
, 1983 Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

Ostracods (Crustacea) associated with microbialites across the Permian-Triassic boundary in Dajiang (Guizhou Province, South China) [PDF]
, 2012 26 samples were processed for a taxonomic study of ostracods from the Upper Permian (Changhsingian) - Lower Triassic (Griesbachian) interval of the Dajiang section, Guizhou Province, South China. 112 species belonging to 27 genera are recognized.
