Mass extinction events represent intervals of abrupt, large‐scale loss of biodiversity that have repeatedly reshaped life on Earth. These crises are commonly linked to dramatic environmental ...

The Triassic–Jurassic transition represents one of Earth’s most profound episodes of biological upheaval, characterised by extensive volcanic activity, rapid climatic shifts and cascading ...

The Jurassic Period is one of the three prehistoric geological periods of the Mesozoic Era. It spans from 145 million to 201 million years ago. This period was preceded by the Triassic Period and ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the 'devastating' effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers say these super-powerful blasts ...

Nearly all life that ever existed on Earth eventually disappeared. Five known mass extinctions wiped out up to 96 percent of ...

Garbage in, garbage out. High protein, low fat. Cut the carbs and stay hydrated. It turns out it does matter what you eat, especially to crocodylians — crocodiles, alligators and gharials — a species ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers at Keele University say these ...

Supernova destroying planet, illustration. A rocky planet lies in the wake of its star, which has just gone supernova. The explosion shatters the planet. A complete census of massive stars in our part ...

Since the beginning of time, Earth has created life and then wiped out most of it in catastrophic, ultra-destructive moments.

Most people think of crocodilians as living fossils—stubbornly unchanged, prehistoric relics that have ruled the world's swampiest corners for millions of years. But their evolutionary history tells a ...
