How does life rebound from mass extinctions

Chicago IL (SPX) Jun 04, 2025 If you're an animal living through a mass extinction, it's best to be one that's found a unique way to make a living. A new analysis of the species that lived or died out in the wake of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs has revealed unexpected patterns that counter our prevailing theories of survival in the wake of mass extinctions. A team of scientists with the University of Ch

Is it time to kill the “Mass Extinction” concept?

Colin Barras reports on a recent paper by Peng et al that finds a healthy ecosystem barely 75,000 years after the end-Permian extinction, 250 million years ago, thought to be the deadliest mass extinction ever. Barras finds the deadliness of mass extinctions might depend on who you talk to. For example, an extinction we’re all familiar with, the end of the Cretaceous, that was a mass extinction, yes? Barras asked Spencer Lucas “I think that ther…
