Deconstructing the Lomagundi-Jatuli carbon isotope excursion
The early to mid-Paleoproterozoic Lomagundi-Jatuli Excursion (LJE) is ostensibly the
largest magnitude (approximately+ 5 to+ 30‰), longest duration (ca. 130–250 million years) …

Oxygen suppression of macroscopic multicellularity
Atmospheric oxygen is thought to have played a vital role in the evolution of large, complex
multicellular organisms. Challenging the prevailing theory, we show that the transition from …

Frameworks for interpreting the early fossil record of eukaryotes
The origin of modern eukaryotes is one of the key transitions in life's history, and also one of
the least understood. Although the fossil record provides the most direct view of this process …
