The asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs didn’t keep life down for long. New research shows that microscopic plankton began evolving into new species within just a few thousand years—and ...
The new species, named after the electro funk band Chromeo, helps explain the larger story of why only one small group of dinosaurs survived the extinction. A fossil rarely reveals an animal’s entire ...
Scientists can now map deadly scorpion hotspots, helping protect millions from stings in vulnerable tropical regions.
UC College of Arts and Sciences Professor Thomas Algeo has been studying the planet's five major mass extinctions since the ...
Lost fossils reveal that some of the first ocean predators went global astonishingly fast after Earth’s worst extinction.
Fossils long assumed to have vanished before a major mass extinction about 550 million years ago have now been found persisting until that event. That overlap transforms what once looked like a ...
Earth’s history is punctuated by devastating mass extinction events that have wiped out the majority of species living at the time. These catastrophic episodes have reset the evolutionary clock ...
As the global avian extinction crisis accelerates, the loss of large-bodied birds is destroying local biodiversity and ...

In the long shadow of the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, life appears to have bounced back with surprising speed. A new analysis of sedimentation rates suggests that the first wave of marine ...
After the Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid Wrecked the Planet, Life May Have Bounced Back Surprisingly Fast
New life may have evolved surprisingly fast after a famous mass extinction event about 66 million years ago. University of Texas at Austin Jackson School of Geosciences / John Maisano Some 66 million ...
