Ichnologic approaches have been key to the understanding of causes and consequences of the end-Permian mass extinction event ever since researchers began to focus on this pivotal episode in the history of life.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES. After reading this chapter, students should be able to: Identify the causal mechanisms and ecological ramifications of each of the Big Five mass extinctions that have occurred in geologic time. Describe several smaller biotic transitions that have significantly impacted the diversity of life on Earth through geologic time.
The K/T mass extinction may have been caused by the coincidence of a very large impact (4250 km) upon a highly stressed biotic environment as a result of volcanism.
PART I: ECOSYSTEMS, EXTINCTIONS, AND PROXIES. Part I is designed to serve as a brief primer in the necessary terminology, background, and tools needed to conduct research on the effects of mass extinctions on the structure and function of ecosystems.
