“A team of scientists has concluded that earth experienced a previously underestimated severe mass-extinction event, which occurred about 260 million years ago, raising the total of major mass extinctions in the geologic record to six.” https://www.sciencedaily.com...
including perhaps the most famous mass extinction that brought about the end of the dinosaurs. This was triggered by a meteorite impact at the end of the Cretaceous period, but the other major mass extinctions were caused by phenomena originating entirely on Earth. While they are less well known...

The five major mass extinctions receive most of the attention, but they are only one end of a spectrum of extinction events. Collectively, more species went extinct during smaller events that were less dramatic but more frequent. The best known of the five major extinction events, the one ...

A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth sudd...
18); approximately 0.2 × 10-5/species/year. Three major extinction waves are labelled, and these are shown spatially in (b–d). Point size represents bird extinctions and is scaled across the extinction waves. The top five regions are labelled for each wave. The maps are centred on 145...
Extreme changes in daily and seasonal climates preceded the retreat of the seas back into the major ocean basins. A simple climate change does not explain some important data related to the extinction of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous.The retreat of the seaways at the end of the...
According to the first report on biodiversity (生多样性) released by the United Nations in May 2019, 1 million of earth’s million species are in danger of extinction (灭绝), including amphibians (两栖动物), marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) and insects. ...
The third major mass extinction was during the last period of the Paleozoic Era, called thePermian Period. This is the largest of all known mass extinctions with a massive 96% of all species on Earth completely lost. It is no wonder, therefore, that this major mass extinction has been dubb...
