The scarcity of high-resolution empirical data directly tracking diversity over time limits our understanding of speciation and extinction dynamics and the drivers of rate changes. Here, we analyze a continuous species-level fossil record of endemic... Read More about Deep drilling reveals massive shifts in evolutionary dynamics after formation of ancient ecosystem.
