Integrated records of environmental change and evolution challenge the Cambrian Explosion
Abstract The 'Cambrian Explosion'describes the rapid increase in animal diversity and
abundance, as manifest in the fossil record, between~ 540 and 520 million years ago (Ma) …

The Cambrian conundrum: early divergence and later ecological success in the early history of animals
Diverse bilaterian clades emerged apparently within a few million years during the early
Cambrian, and various environmental, developmental, and ecological causes have been …

Rise to modern levels of ocean oxygenation coincided with the Cambrian radiation of animals
The early diversification of animals (∼ 630 Ma), and their development into both motile and
macroscopic forms (∼ 575–565 Ma), has been linked to stepwise increases in the …

Uranium and molybdenum isotope evidence for an episode of widespread ocean oxygenation during the late Ediacaran Period
To improve estimates of the extent of ocean oxygenation during the late Ediacaran Period,
we measured the U and Mo isotope compositions of euxinic (anoxic and sulfidic) organic …
