Study Notes
Paleozoic Events and Mass Extinctions
-
The Paleozoic Era began with the Cambrian Radiation.
-
The lecture covers the key environmental and evolutionary events in the post-Cambrian Paleozoic, including climate, sea level, paleogeography, evolutionary events, and mass extinctions.
-
During the Ordovician Period, the climate was hot, and sea level continued to rise, resulting in vast epicontinental seas throughout much of the period.
-
The Ordovician Radiation saw the diversification of animal lineages that had originated during the Cambrian Radiation.
-
The Late Ordovician saw major glaciation, with tropical surface ocean temperatures falling by up to 10C° and sea level falling by 50 to 100 meters.
-
The End Ordovician Mass Extinction was the second largest mass extinction in the Phanerozoic, with 85% of all species going extinct.
-
The Silurian Period saw a return of epicontinental seas after the Ordovician glaciation and the continued diversification of land plants.
-
During the Devonian Period, there was a radiation of fish, and lobe-finned fish evolved into amphibious tetrapods.
-
The Late Devonian Mass Extinction was an interval of severe extinction, with 75% of all marine species going extinct.
-
The Carboniferous Period saw the development of coal swamps and the collision between Laurussia and Gondwana to form Pangaea.
-
During the Permian Period, the continents formed a single supercontinent of Pangaea, and there was a decline in diversity and abundance of seedless vascular plants.
-
The Permian Evolutionary Events saw the diversification of reptiles, which don't require water for reproduction or egg-laying.
-
The environmental history of Earth was shaped by physical factors, biological factors, and the interaction between them.Key Literature on the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event
-
The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) occurred around 470 million years ago and was characterized by a rapid diversification of marine life.
-
The GOBE was preceded by a series of glaciations that led to the extinction of many species.
-
The biological pump, which involves the transfer of carbon from the surface ocean to the deep ocean, played a key role in triggering the Late Ordovician glaciation.
-
The Late Ordovician extinction event was likely caused by euxinia, a condition in which the ocean is depleted of oxygen and rich in hydrogen sulfide.
-
The Phanerozoic marine fossil record has been analyzed using factor analysis to identify patterns and trends in biodiversity over time.
-
The book "Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems" provides an overview of the development of fossil ecosystems over geological time.
-
The book "The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event" is a comprehensive collection of research on the topic, featuring contributions from various experts in the field.
-
A multidisciplinary perspective on the GOBE has been provided by recent research, which has highlighted the importance of considering both biological and environmental factors.
-
The Yangtze area in South China has provided evidence for the role of euxinia in the Late Ordovician extinction event, based on the morphology and isotopic composition of pyrite.
-
The development of the early Paleozoic world is closely linked to the GOBE, which had a profound impact on the evolution of life on Earth.
-
Understanding the causes and consequences of the GOBE is important for gaining insight into the processes that drive the evolution of biodiversity.
-
The study of fossil ecosystems and the history of life on Earth is a complex and interdisciplinary field that requires collaboration between experts from various scientific disciplines.
