New research from the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart reconstructs Triassic terrestrial ecosystems using fossils ...

The mass extinction that ended the Permian geological epoch, 252 million years ago, wiped out most animals living on Earth.

Research shows how Earth's climate suddenly warmed 10°C, transforming ecosystems and causing the worst mass extinction in history.

A new study reveals that Earth's biomes changed dramatically in the wake of mass volcanic eruptions 252 million years ago.

Ancient frog relatives survived the aftermath of the largest mass extinction of species by feeding on freshwater prey that evaded terrestrial predators, academics have found.

But humans may be nearly as deadly as giant volcanoes. A 2020 study, for example, found that a smaller extinction event at ...

Researchers used modelling and plant fossils to follow the planet's transition to 10 degrees of warming, which eradicated ...

However, the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event was not the worst loss of life in our planet’s history. That distinction belongs to the Permian-Triassic extinction or the Great Dying.

We know that climates then were hot, and especially so after the extinction event. How could these water-loving animals have been so successful?" The Early Triassic was a time of repeated volcanic ...
