[HTML][HTML] Evolution of Atmospheric O2 Through the Phanerozoic, Revisited
An oxygen-rich atmosphere is essential for complex animals. The early Earth had an anoxic
atmosphere, and understanding the rise and maintenance of high O2 levels is critical for …

Calibrating the temporal and spatial dynamics of the Ediacaran-Cambrian radiation of animals
Abstract The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition, which incorporates the radiation of animals,
lacks a robust global temporal and spatial framework, resulting in major uncertainty in the …

On the co‐evolution of surface oxygen levels and animals
Few topics in geobiology have been as extensively debated as the role of Earth's
oxygenation in controlling when and why animals emerged and diversified. All currently …

The resonant tidal evolution of the Earth-Moon distance
M Farhat, P Auclair-Desrotour, G Boué… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Due to tidal interactions in the Earth-Moon system, the spin of the Earth slows down and the
Moon drifts away. This recession of the Moon can now be measured with great precision, but …

The redox structure of Ediacaran and early Cambrian oceans and its controls
The rapid diversification of early animals during the Ediacaran (635–541 Ma) and early
Cambrian (ca. 541–509 Ma) has frequently been attributed to increasing oceanic …
