What people are saying
These discussions highlight a shared intrigue with the research's revelation that species-area relationships defy expectations of homogenization, with phrases like 'surprising postextinction explosion' indicating a sense of discovery. The tone balances curiosity and scholarly interest, reflecting a recognition of the study's potential to reshape understanding of mass extinctions.
Most discussions agree that the findings challenge traditional views of post-extinction biodiversity homogenization.
Participants demonstrate high curiosity, especially regarding the unexpected increase in regional diversity after the extinction event.
Comments delve into implications and specific research findings, showing moderate engagement.
While influential in paleo-biodiversity studies, the discussions suggest a developing but not yet widespread impact.
Abstract in brief
- Mass extinctions are rare but have a major impact on biodiversity, affecting how species richness relates to area.
- The study shows that speciesarea relationships (SARs) changed over time across the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, with unexpected increases in regional diversity post-extinction driven by higher beta diversity rather than simple species loss.
- These findings challenge common assumptions that post-extinction biotas become more homogenized and impoverished, revealing complex patterns of biodiversity recovery at different scales over millions of years.]

After a mass extinction, some have posited that a set of “disaster taxa” would dominate large areas, but the fossil record before and after the extinction of the dinosaurs shows a surprising postextinction explosion of regional diversity. In PNAS: https://t.co/0KqLCWx2d1 https://t.co/p0VX6isaoP

Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Diversity and End-Extinction Insights
The study shows dinosaurs in North America, especially in New Mexico, remained diverse until just before the mass extinction 66 million years ago, challenging the idea of a sudden extinction and indicating more…
Impact of Elevation on Bird Wing Morphology and Flight Efficiency
This study examines how altitude influences bird wing shape, revealing that wings become more elongated and larger with increased elevation to adapt to lower air density and oxygen levels. Data from nearly 10,000 bird…
Elevational Impact on Bird Wing Morphology and Flight Efficiency
The study investigates how altitude influences bird wing shape, finding that wings tend to become more elongated and larger as elevation increases, likely due to the need to adapt to lower air density and oxygen levels.
