Whether extraterrestrial impacts or drastic climate changes are to blame, mass extinctions are evolutionary events that alter the history of life. Which species or groups survive a mass extinction ...

or "life oasis," for terrestrial plants during the end-Permian mass extinction, the most severe biological crisis since the Cambrian period. The discovery, led by Prof. Liu Feng, from the Nanjing ...

A region in China’s Turpan-Hami Basin served as a refugium - or “life oasis”- for terrestrial plants during the end-Permian mass extinction.

The archaic sponge reef-dwellers of the Cambrian gave way to bryozoans ... This resulted in the second largest mass extinction of all time, wiping out at least half of all marine animal species ...
