Abstract The global Hangenberg Crisis near the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary (DCB)
represents a mass extinction that is of the same scale as the so-called 'Big Five'first-order …

Few areas in the world offer such favorable preconditions for the reconstruction of Paleozoic
sea-level changes and synsedimentary tectonics as the eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco. This …

Chrono-, litho-and biostratigraphy across the Devonian–Carboniferous transition are
reviewed to provide a precise time framework for the global Hangenberg Crisis and for the …

Detailed sedimentological and biostratigraphical studies of successions in the eastern Anti-
Atlas (SE Morocco) focused on changing depositional environments and reconstructions of …

D. Jablonski [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99, 8139–8144 (2002)] coined the term “dead
clades walking”(DCWs) to describe marine fossil orders that experience significant drops in …

During the Palaeozoic, a diversification in modes of life occurred that included a wide range
of predators. Major macroecological events include the Cambrian Explosion (including the …

ABSTRACT A positive carbon isotope excursion is reported for the first time for the global
Late Famennian Hangenberg Event near the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary, one of the …

Abstract The eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco represents one of the most completely exposed
and perfectly documented biostratigraphic records of the entire Devonian worldwide …

Three main modes of extinction are responsible for reductions in morphological disparity:(1)
random (caused by a nonselective extinction event);(2) marginal (a symmetric, selective …

It is widely accepted that the effects of global sea‐level changes at the transition from the
Devonian to the Carboniferous are recorded in deposits on the shelf of northern Gondwana …
