Two new papers from the group in the past week to report on…
1. Alex Dunhill and a team of palaeobiologists and ecologists publish a research article in Nature Communications presenting evidence that secondary extinction cascades were important during a Jurassic hyperthermal extinction event and that it took over 7 million years for community structure to fully recover.
