Tropical riparian ecosystems—those found along rivers and wetlands—recovered much faster than expected following the ...

Fossil evidence from North China suggests that some ecosystems may have recovered within just two million years of the ...

Nearly all the trees died. Looy had told me that the Black Triangle was the best place today to see what the world would have looked like after the Permian extinction. This didn't look like ...

The new study deciphered the single-most greatest mass extinction on Earth driven by a natural calamity that still exists.

The two groups appeared during the Triassic period, following the Permian mass extinction event, which saw some 90 per cent ...

when extinction rates sharply exceeded background rates. These occurred at the end of the Ordivician, the Late Devonian, the Permian/Triassic (P/Tr) boundary, the end of the Triassic, and the ...

Fossils from southern China provide evidence for a mass extinction during middle Permian time, 260 million years ago. The close association of this event with an outpouring of lava, initially into ...

In the oil-rich Permian Basin, the dunes sagebrush lizard faces extinction. Will Donald Trump finally do it in?

Today’s extinction rates are sky-high. But scientists debate if that’s sufficient evidence to conclude that Earth is undergoing a mass extinction event—or whether that’s even a helpful designation.

This is a well-written important paper on the recovery of fauna and flora following the end-Permian extinction event in several continental sites in northern China. The convincing conclusion, a rapid ...

Growth in oil output from the U.S. Permian basin, the country's top oilfield, is expected to slow by at least 25% this year ...

They then compared their model to the magnitude of past mass extinctions captured in the fossil record, especially to the End-Permian Extinction - Earth's deadliest extinction event so far.
