Deep drilling reveals massive shifts in evolutionary dynamics after formation of ancient ecosystem (2020)
Journal Article
Wilke, T., Hauffe, T., Jovanovska, E., Cvetkoska, A., Donders, T., Ekschmitt, K., …Wagner, B. (2020). Deep drilling reveals massive shifts in evolutionary dynamics after formation of ancient ecosystem. Science Advances, 6(40), eabb2943. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abb2943

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.
