Global warming triggered by heavy volcanic activity is hypothesized by some scientists to have caused the end-Triassic extinction event that obliterated up to 80 percent of Earth’s species. These ...

A new study reveals that Earth's biomes changed dramatically in the wake of mass volcanic eruptions 252 million years ago.

After Earth's worst mass extinction, surviving ocean animals spread worldwide. Stanford's model shows why this happened.

The End-Permian mass extinction killed an estimated 80% of life on Earth, but new research suggests that plants might have done okay.

A 2020 study, for example, found that a smaller extinction event at the end of the Triassic (201 million years ago) was driven by greenhouse gas pulses from volcanoes that were on a similar scale ...

Romulus, the first dire wolf to be born in some 13,000 years, is reportedly enjoying puppyhood at Colossal, a genetics ...

Fossils from China’s Turpan-Hami Basin reveal it was a rare land refuge during the end-Permian extinction, with fast ...

The end-Permian mass extinction, which occurred approximately ... was based on the discovery of many "missing" species in Early Triassic strata elsewhere, indicating temporary migration rather ...

Fossils before and after the end-Permian extinction "go from richly diverse ... that surpass even those seen in the earliest Triassic, which has been the greatest homogenization event to date ...

Stanford scientists found that dramatic climate changes after the Great Dying enabled a few marine species to spread globally ...

Scientists don't call it the "Great Dying" for nothing. About 252 million years ago, upward of 80% of all marine species vanished during the ...
