Timing of morphological and ecological innovations in the cyanobacteria–a key to understanding the rise in atmospheric oxygen
When cyanobacteria originated and diversified, and what their ancient traits were, remain
critical unresolved problems. Here, we used a phylogenomic approach to construct a well …

Evidence for a gradual rise of oxygen between 2.6 and 2.5 Ga from Mo isotopes and Re-PGE signatures in shales
Concerning the question of how and when free oxygen started to accumulate in the Earth's
atmosphere and hydrosphere, we report Mo concentrations and isotopic compositions as …
