MASS EXTINCTIONS AS SHADOWS OF ANTI-ENTROPIC GROWTH

Macro-Ecological Revolutions

The other night the abstract of a 2002 academic paper on evolution drew out my curiosity, specifically its last sentence,

"Early Paleozoic radiations established stable ecosystem relationships, and thereafter only the great era-bounding mass extinctions were able to break patterns of incumbency, permitting the emergence of new community structures with distinct proportional diversity relationships."

[Richard Bambach, Andrew Knoll, and John Sepkoski; Anatomical and ecological constraints on Phanerozoic animal diversity in the marine realm, May 14, 2002; PNAS. ]

This 2002 study examines the changes in marine biodiversity over the past half billion years, as expressed to us in the fossil records.
