Abstract The Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME, ca. 252 Mya) was one of the most
severe biotic crises of the Phanerozoic, eliminating> 90% of marine and terrestrial species …

The late Palaeozoic is a pivotal period for the evolution of terrestrial ecosystems.
Generalised warming and aridification trends resulted in profound floral and faunal turnover …

Nonmarine biostratigraphic/biochronologic schemes have been created for all or parts of the
late Carboniferous–Middle Triassic using palynomorphs, megafossil plants, conchostracans …

Earth's largest biotic crisis occurred during the Permo–Triassic Transition (PTT). On land,
this event witnessed a turnover from synapsid-to archosauromorph-dominated assemblages …

We report U-Pb age determinations of carbonate nodules from an in situ paleosol horizon in
the Upper Permian Balfour Formation and from several horizons of pedogenic nodule …

The current model for the end-Permian terrestrial ecosystem crisis holds that systematic loss
exhibited by an abrupt turnover from the Daptocephalus to the Lystrosaurus Assemblage …

The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) is widely recognised as the largest mass
extinction in Phanerozoic history. In marine strata the main extinction event is well …

The most extensive Permian tetrapod (amphibian and reptile) fossil records from the western
USA (New Mexico to Texas) and South Africa have been used to define 11 land vertebrate …

Four substantial tetrapod extinctions have been identified during the Permian, but only one
of these is an apparent mass extinction. Analyses of global compilations of the family-level …

Mammals are arguably the most conspicuous tetrapods in the modern biota. Although there
are fewer extant mammal species (~ 5,500) than birds (~ 10,000) or squamates (~ 10,000) …
