A persistent influence of #supernovae on #biodiversity over the #Phanerozoic: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.9898 -> the number of exploding stars (supernovae) has significantly influenced marine life's biodiversity during the last 500 million years: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/983477

Was lucky enough to see #theocean in Attendorn with just a handful of people years ago ... here's a great performance from last year https://youtu.be/1l30LbiC2xg #progressivemetal #phanerozoic

A large body of evidence has focused on abrupt #climate change as a direct or indirect mechanism that drove many mass and minor extinctions.
The significant relationship between temperature change and #extinction still exists when we exclude the five largest mass extinctions of the #Phanerozoic.
Temperature increase of 5.2βΒ°C above the pre-industrial level would likely result in mass extinction, even without other, non-climatic #anthropogenic impacts.

What exactly happened during these vast stretches of #geologic time, though? That's the question that #AbbyHoward seeks to answer in her #EarthBeforeUs #comic series. The three #graphicnovels take readers through the three #eras of the #Phanerozoic #Eon, though slightly out of order. #DinosaurEmpire is a better hook for a first book, after all! #OceanRenegades & #MammalTakeover are just as fascinating, though, so be sure to read them all!
These are a #DinoDadReviews fav.

@PaleoParaDive #Postdoc Aleksandra Skawina has wide expertise on the #evolution of freshwater #bivalves, #taphonomy and #paleoecology as well as with conducting #ecophysiological #experiments on living bivalve species and #teaching. She leads our efforts to create a #Phanerozoic #database of associations and #paleopathologies linked to #parasitism and co-leads the #Paleosynthesis #BITE workshop. She makes beautiful #scientific hand #drawings #paleoart. She is #mom of one, and has a cat on board
