Q2. What are the future works in this paper?
The latter presenting the intriguing possibility that the diversification of marine ecosystems was on a single trajectory that peaked in the Devonian.

TLDR
The Furongian gap as mentioned in this paper is defined as the gap between the Cambrian Explosion and the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event, exemplified by a marked drop in biodiversity.About:

The bias types and drivers of the Furongian Biodiversity Gap
TL;DR: In this article , a systematic investigation of the relationships between fossil sampling intensity, spatial extent, and biodiversity during the Cambrian and Ordovician, using data from the Paleobiology Database (PBDB) is carried out to gain a better understanding of this lowstand in biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine oxygenation, deoxygenation, and life during the Early Paleozoic: An overview
Junpeng Zhang,Junpeng Zhang,Cole T. Edwards,Charles W. Diamond,Timothy W. Lyons,Yuandong Zhang +5 more
TL;DR: The Early Paleozoic (Cambrian-Devonian) witnessed a series of significant environmental changes including ocean-atmosphere oxygenation and progressive cooling due to a decline in CO2 levels as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reply to ‘Uppermost Cambrian carbon chemostratigraphy: the HERB and undocumented TOCE events are not synonymous’
TL;DR: In a recent communication on carbon isotope chemostratigraphy of the uppermost Cambrian strata, it was claimed that the Top of Cambrian Excursion (TOCE) is (1) an undocumented negative δ13Ccarb excursion; (2) ambiguously defined; (3) deliberately fictitious or, in the authors' words, a ‘nihilartikel’; and (4) not synonymous with the Hellnmaria-Red Tops Boundary (HERB) Event as discussed by the authors.

Cambrian and earliest Ordovician fauna and geology of the Sông Đà and adjacent terranes in Việt Nam (Vietnam)
Nigel C. Hughes,Shanchi Peng,David A. T. Harper,Paul M. Myrow,Ngân Kim Phạm,Shelly J. Wernette,Xuejian Zhu +6 more
TL;DR: Later Cambrian and earliest Ordovician trilobites and brachiopods spanning eight horizons from five localities within the Sông Mã, Hàm Rồng and Đông Sơn formations of the Thanh Hóa province of Việt Nam, constrain the age and faunal affinities of rocks within the sông Đà terrane, one of several suture/fault-bounded units situated between South China to the north and Indochina to
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the middle–late Cambrian trilobite diversity pattern in South China
Shu-han Zhang,Junxuan Fan,Junxuan Fan,Chad A. Morgan,Charles M. Henderson,Shu-zhong Shen,Shu-zhong Shen +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used constrained optimization to correlate 19 sections from South China to reduce the Signor-Lipps effect and integrate the results with high-resolution chronostratigraphic data to evaluate the diversity pattern in South China.

On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or, The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
TL;DR: The "Penguin Classics" edition of "On the Origin of Species" as discussed by the authors contains an introduction and notes by William Bynum, and features a cover designed by Damien Hirst.

A chronology of Paleozoic sea-level changes.
Bilal U. Haq,Stephen R. Schutter +1 more
TL;DR: A history of sea-level fluctuations for the entire Paleozoic by using stratigraphic sections from pericratonic and cratonic basins is reconstructed, revealing a gradual rise through the Cambrian and a short-lived but prominent withdrawal in response to Hirnantian glaciation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new data set of fossil occurrences representing 3.5 million specimens was presented, and it was shown that global and local diversity was less than twice as high in the Neogene as in the mid-Paleozoic.

The new chronostratigraphic classification of the Ordovician System and its relations to major regional series and stages and to δ13C chemostratigraphy
TL;DR: In this paper, a new global classification of the Ordovician System into three series and seven stages has been proposed, based on a variety of biostratigraphic data.
