Scientists Discover a Lost World in China That Survived Earth’s Greatest Mass Extinction
Scientists have uncovered a hidden prehistoric ecosystem in China that defied Earth's deadliest mass extinction, revealing a lost world that thrived while most life perished.
Amphibians bounce-back from Earth's greatest mass extinction
Ancient frog relatives survived the aftermath of the largest mass extinction of species by feeding on freshwater prey that evaded terrestrial predators, academics have found.
Climate chaos: The mass extinction that reshaped life on Earth
Research shows how Earth's climate suddenly warmed 10°C, transforming ecosystems and causing the worst mass extinction in history.
Scientists discover a ‘life oasis’ that survived Earth’s deadliest mass extinction
The end-Permian mass extinction, which struck around 252 million years ago, was the most devastating biological crisis in Earth's history. Over 80% of marine species disappeared, leaving the oceans nearly lifeless.
Terrestrial 'life oasis' from end-Permian mass extinction period discovered in China
South Taodonggou offered more abundant vegetation and a more habitable environment than other regions following the end-Permian mass extinction, providing vital support for migrating animals.
A Life Oasis Protected Plants During the Permian Mass Extinction Event
Even during one of Earth's largest mass extinction events, where heat waves kill of a majority of Earth's species, at least one oasis of survival existed. The findings suggest that there may have been pockets of protection throughout Earth - challenging the notion that the heat affected life on the planet uniformly,
Chinese fossil site suggests land plants survived Earth’s worst mass extinction
A recently uncovered fossil location in China’s Turpan-Hami Basin suggests that some terrestrial ecosystems were only marginally affected by the most cataclysmic extinction event in Earth’s history, the end-Permian mass extinction.
Permian mass extinction linked to 10°C global temperature rise that reshaped Earth's ecosystems
The mass extinction that ended the Permian geological epoch, 252 million years ago, wiped out most animals living on Earth.
