Causal analysis of rock-biodiversity relationships over the global Phanerozoic challenges rock record bias and common cause hypothesis

This study evaluates the causes of covariation between marine biodiversity and sedimentary rock quantity over the Phanerozoic, finding that rock-record bias and common-cause mechanisms both contribute, but neither fully explains the patterns.

A sulfur-cycling co-culture alters iron sulfide diagenesis and pyritization

This study investigates how sulfur-cycling co-cultures affect iron sulfide diagenesis and pyritization, finding that abiotic processes and mineral reactivity, rather than microbial activity, primarily control these transformations.

Borealization: a biodiversity refugium and evolutionary cradle during the Permian-Triassic climate crisis

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.
