Scientists alarmed by parallels between ancient volcanism and oxygen loss in today’s oceans
1+ week, 19+ hour ago (391+ words) Around 252 million years ago, Earth experienced the largest mass extinction in its history. Eruptions associated with the Siberian Traps released enormous quantities of greenhouse gases, causing rapid warming. The oceans lost oxygen, and much of marine life was unable to…...

The devastating human impact on biodiversity
1+ week, 2+ day ago (233+ words) Humans are having a highly detrimental impact on biodiversity worldwide. Not only is the number of species declining, but the composition of species communities is also changing. These are the findings of a study by Eawag and the University of…...
The fossil record suggests extinction crises killing 10% of species occur roughly once per million years, while events killing around 65% occur roughly once per 100 million years — but these are episodic catastrophes, not a steady countdown toward the next mass extinction.
1+ week, 5+ day ago (1075+ words) David Raup's fossil-record kill curve estimated average waiting times for extinction events of different magnitudes. Those intervals describe an uneven historical distribution, not a periodic schedule or forecast of when the next crisis will occur. By Life Signs · Edited by…...
