The timing and pattern of biotic recovery following the end-Permian mass extinction
Abstract
Over 90% of species were lost during the end-Permian mass extinction. A review of the fossil record shows that the rate of recovery was highly variable between different groups of organisms as a result of complex biotic interactions and repeated environmental perturbations.
