This study identifies the Boreal Ocean as a biodiversity refugium and evolutionary cradle during the Permian-Triassic climate crisis, showing it supported survival and speciation of many taxa.

This study shows that high temporal resolution reveals abrupt ecological changes and shifts in extinction selectivity during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, which coarse resolution obscures.

The paper reports new fossil findings from the Permian-Triassic boundary in the Dolomites, suggesting ecological changes and a rapid recovery of apex predators after the mass extinction.
