An atlas of Phanerozoic paleogeographic maps: the seas come in and the seas go out
CR Scotese - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Paleogeography is the study of the changing surface of Earth through time. Driven by plate
tectonics, the configuration of the continents and ocean basins has been in constant flux …

Reconciling fossils with phylogenies reveals the origin and macroevolutionary processes explaining the global cycad biodiversity
The determinants of biodiversity patterns can be understood using macroevolutionary
analyses. The integration of fossils into phylogenies offers a deeper understanding of …

The Silurian–Devonian terrestrial revolution: Diversity patterns and sampling bias of the vascular plant macrofossil record
During the mid-Palaeozoic, vascular land plants (ie, tracheophytes) underwent a great
radiation that triggered the development of the land biosphere–the so-called Silurian …

A tectonic-rules-based mantle reference frame since 1 billion years ago–implications for supercontinent cycles and plate–mantle system evolution
Understanding the long-term evolution of Earth's plate–mantle system is reliant on absolute
plate motion models in a mantle reference frame, but such models are both difficult to …

Global warming generates predictable extinctions of warm‐and cold‐water marine benthic invertebrates via thermal habitat loss
Anthropogenic global warming is redistributing marine life and may threaten tropical benthic
invertebrates with several potential extinction mechanisms. The net impact of climate …
