Godbold A, James C, Kiessling W, Hohmann N, Jarochowska E, Corsetti F, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2025 Feb; 292(2040):20242123. PMID: 39904386
Both natural and human-induced stressors cause reef erosion, resulting in reef rubble formation. When consolidated, the rubble can facilitate reef recovery, sparking interest in artificial rubble stabilization as a method...

Ibarra Y, Marenco P, Centlivre J, Hedlund B, Rademacher L, Greene S, et al.
Geobiology . 2024 Oct; 22(5):e12623. PMID: 39420484
A three-dimensional tubular fabric known as "vermiform microstructure" in Phanerozoic and Neoproterozoic carbonate microbialites has been hypothesized to represent the body fossil of nonspicular keratose demosponges. If correct, this interpretation...

Woolley C, Bottjer D, Corsetti F, Smith N
PLoS One . 2024 Feb; 19(2):e0297637. PMID: 38354167
Fossil deposits with exceptional preservation ("lagerstätten") provide important details not typically preserved in the fossil record, such that they hold an outsized influence on our understanding of biodiversity and evolution....

Cribb A, Formoso K, Woolley C, Beech J, Brophy S, Byrne P, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2023 Dec; 290(2012):20232232. PMID: 38052241
Mass extinctions have fundamentally altered the structure of the biosphere throughout Earth's history. The ecological severity of mass extinctions is well studied in marine ecosystems by categorizing marine taxa into...

Yao L, Lin W, Aretz M, Bottjer D, Wang X
Proc Biol Sci . 2023 May; 290(1999):20230220. PMID: 37221847
Modern coral reefs and associated biodiversity are severely threatened by increasing terrestrial runoff. Similar scenarios could be suspected for geological times, but reef coral resilience is still an enigma. In...

Cribb A, van de Velde S, Berelson W, Bottjer D, Corsetti F
Geobiology . 2023 Feb; 21(4):435-453. PMID: 36815223
The radiation of bioturbation during the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition has long been hypothesized to have oxygenated sediments, triggering an expansion of the habitable benthic zone and promoting increased infaunal tiering in...

Feng X, Chen Z, Benton M, Su C, Bottjer D, Cribb A, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 Jun; 8(26):eabo0597. PMID: 35767613
The Permian-Triassic mass extinction severely depleted biodiversity, primarily observed in the body fossil of well-skeletonized animals. Understanding how whole ecosystems were affected and rebuilt following the crisis requires evidence from...

Yin Z, Sun W, Liu P, Chen J, Bottjer D, Li J, et al.
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2022 Feb; 377(1847):20210032. PMID: 35125006
The origin and early evolution of animal development remain among the many deep, unresolved problems in evolutionary biology. As a compelling case for the existence of pre-Cambrian animals, the Ediacaran...

Shen J, Yin R, Zhang S, Algeo T, Bottjer D, Yu J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2022 Jan; 13(1):299. PMID: 35027546
Direct evidence of intense chemical weathering induced by volcanism is rare in sedimentary successions. Here, we undertake a multiproxy analysis (including organic carbon isotopes, mercury (Hg) concentrations and isotopes, chemical...
