Mills D, Vuillemin A, Muschler K, Coskun O, Orsi W
Sci Adv . 2025 Feb; 11(8):eadt2147. PMID: 39970204
The proliferation of marine algae in the Neoproterozoic Era is thought to have stimulated the ecology of predatory microbial eukaryotes. To test this proposal, we introduced algal particulate matter (APM)...

Mills D, Macalady J, Frank A, Wright J
Sci Adv . 2025 Feb; 11(7):eads5698. PMID: 39951518
According to the "hard-steps" model, the origin of humanity required "successful passage through a number of intermediate steps" (so-called "hard steps") that were intrinsically improbable in the time available for...

Mills D, Simister R, Sehein T, Hallam S, Sperling E, Crowe S
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Jan; 121(2):e2303754120. PMID: 38165897
Eukaryotes originated prior to the establishment of modern marine oxygen (O) levels. According to the body fossil and lipid biomarker records, modern (crown) microbial eukaryote lineages began diversifying in the...

Sperling E, Boag T, Duncan M, Endriga C, Marquez J, Mills D, et al.
Biol Bull . 2022 Dec; 243(2):184-206. PMID: 36548971
AbstractOxygen levels in the atmosphere and ocean have changed dramatically over Earth history, with major impacts on marine life. Because the early part of Earth's history lacked both atmospheric oxygen...

Mills D, Boyle R, Daines S, Sperling E, Pisani D, Donoghue P, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol . 2022 Apr; 6(5):520-532. PMID: 35449457
The endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria during eukaryogenesis has long been viewed as an adaptive response to the oxygenation of Earth's surface environment, presuming a fundamentally aerobic lifestyle for the free-living...

Mills D, Sperling E
Glob Chang Biol . 2021 Dec; 28(6):1953-1955. PMID: 34932850
Animals originated under hypoxia-low-oxygen conditions that are currently expanding throughout the global ocean. How marine sponges respond to hypoxia is both relevant to reconstructing early animal evolution and for forecasting...

Mills D
Interface Focus . 2020 Jul; 10(4):20200019. PMID: 32642057
Phagocytosis, or 'cell eating', is a eukaryote-specific process where particulate matter is engulfed via invaginations of the plasma membrane. The origin of phagocytosis has been central to discussions on eukaryogenesis...

Mills D, Francis W, Canfield D
Emerg Top Life Sci . 2020 May; 2(2):289-298. PMID: 32412615
The Neoproterozoic Era (1000-541 million years ago, Ma) was characterized by dramatic environmental and evolutionary change, including at least two episodes of extensive, low-latitude glaciation, potential changes in the redox...
