Paleoecology of Early–middle Permian Marine Communities in Eastern Australia: Response to Global Climate Change in the Aftermath of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age

Climate change has exerted a major influence on the biosphere in historical times, altering the geographic range of many species and elevating the extinction risk in both marine and terrestrial realms. This study investigates marine community change during the major early Permian climatic transition from the late Paleozoic ice age to a largely ice-free greenhouse climate. Quantitative counts of...
