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) …

On the co‐evolution of surface oxygen levels and animals
Few topics in geobiology have been as extensively debated as the role of Earth's
oxygenation in controlling when and why animals emerged and diversified. All currently …

Continental configuration controls ocean oxygenation during the Phanerozoic
The early evolutionary and much of the extinction history of marine animals is thought to be
driven by changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations ([O2]) in the ocean,–. In turn,[O2] is …

Possible links between extreme oxygen perturbations and the Cambrian radiation of animals
The role of oxygen as a driver for early animal evolution is widely debated. During the
Cambrian explosion, episodic radiations of major animal phyla occurred coincident with …

The redox structure of Ediacaran and early Cambrian oceans and its controls
The rapid diversification of early animals during the Ediacaran (635–541 Ma) and early
Cambrian (ca. 541–509 Ma) has frequently been attributed to increasing oceanic …

Global marine redox evolution from the late Neoproterozoic to the early Paleozoic constrained by the integration of Mo and U isotope records
The emergence and diversification of early animals is commonly thought to have coincided
with atmosphere and ocean oxygenation across the terminal Neoproterozoic and early …

Global marine redox changes drove the rise and fall of the Ediacara biota
The role of O2 in the evolution of early animals, as represented by some members of the
Ediacara biota, has been heavily debated because current geochemical evidence paints a …

Uranium isotopes in marine carbonates as a global ocean paleoredox proxy: a critical review
The protracted oxygenation of the ocean-atmosphere system is one of the most fundamental
changes to the Earth system through its history. The uranium isotopic composition (238 …
