Effect of distance, area, and climate on the frequency of introduction and extinction events on islands and archipelagos by Xianping Li, Céline Bellard, Feng Hu, Huixin Li

“…Abstract Change in community similarity (e.g., biotic homogenization) is regulated by different types of introduction and extinction events. However, the spatial patterns and potential drivers of these event types have not yet been addressed to date. …”

Influence of the Frasnian - Famennian extinction event on the reef development within the Pechora syneclise by L. M. Zhuravleva

“…An analysis of the data on the upper Devonian reefs of the studied region has led to the conclusion about the absence of a direct relationship between the mass extinction event and the Upper Frasnian reef development within the Pechora syneclise.…”

Correlation of the largest craters, stratigraphic impact signatures, and extinction events over the past 250 Myr by Michael R. Rampino, Ken Caldeira

“…The six largest known impact craters of the last 250 Myr (≥70 km in diameter), which are capable of causing significant environmental damage, coincide with four times of recognized extinction events at 36 (with 2 craters), 66, and 145 Myr ago, and possibly with two provisional extinction events at 168 and 215 Myr ago. …”

Gastropods underwent a major taxonomic turnover during the end-Triassic marine mass extinction event. by Mariel Ferrari, Michael Hautmann

“…Based on an exhaustive database of gastropod genera and subgenera during the Triassic-Jurassic transition, origination and extinction percentages and resulting diversity changes are calculated, with a particular focus on the end-Triassic mass extinction event. We show that gastropods suffered a loss of 56% of genera and subgenera during this event, which was higher than the average of marine life (46.8%). …”
