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:

Early Palaeozoic diversifications and extinctions in the marine biosphere: a continuum of change
TL;DR: A review of biodiversity curves of marine organisms indicates that, despite fluctuations in amplitude (some large), a large-scale, long-term radiation of life took place during the early Palaeozoic Era; it was aggregated by a succession of more discrete and regionalized radiations across geographies and within phylogenies.

Revisiting the Great Ordovician Diversification of land plants: Recent data and perspectives
Thomas Servais,Borja Cascales-Miñana,Christopher J. Cleal,Philippe Gerrienne,David A. T. Harper,Mareike Neumann,Mareike Neumann +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, molecular clock data suggest with high probability a Cambrian origin of Embryophyta (also called land plants), indicating that their terrestrialization most probably started about 500 Ma.
Principles Of Paleontology
TL;DR: The principles of paleontology is available in our book collection and an online access to it is set as public so you can get it instantly as discussed by the authors, which is the only way to download any of our books like this one.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) is Not a Single Event
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical analysis of published biodiversity curves and of their own data confirm the traditional view; the Ordovician radiation is a complex, long-term process of multiple biodiversifications of marine organisms.

A meta-analysis of the Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion: The SPICEraq database
Mikaela A. Pulsipher,James D. Schiffbauer,Matthew Jarrell Jeffrey,Matthew Jarrell Jeffrey,John Warren Huntley,David A. Fike,Kevin L. Shelton +6 more
TL;DR: The Steptoean Positive Isotopic Carbon Excursion (SPICE) is a prominent chemostratigraphic feature in the Lower Paleozoic. as discussed by the authors quantitatively evaluate the variability in SPICE records, and document that while the excursion is a global signature, its stratigraphic expression is influenced by such conditions as paleolatitude, paleocontinent, water depth, and facies.

Phanerozoic Earth System Evolution and Marine Biodiversity
TL;DR: It is shown that Phanerozoic records of seawater chemistry and continental flooding contain information on the diversity of marine animals that is independent of sedimentary rock quantity and sampling, and relationships among variables suggest long-term interactions among continental flooding, sulfur and carbon cycling, and macroevolution.

The Cambrian Explosion: The Construction of Animal Biodiversity
Douglas H. Erwin,Valentine James +1 more
TL;DR: The Cambrian Explosion: The Construction of Animal Biodiversity by Douglas H Erwin and James W Valentine as discussed by the authors is a more technical book, aimed at students and professionals, which summarizes and introduces the tremendous amount of research that this episode of earth history has received in the last 25 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does evolution take place in an ecological vacuum? II
TL;DR: Evolution within each of the Ecologic-Evolutionary Units is tightly constrained by ecologic factors-there are no random adaptive radiations, or genera drifting from one community group to another, i.e., overall behaviors and physiologies are not in a continual state of flux.

Global Standard Stratotype‐section and Point (GSSP) of the Furongian Series and Paibian Stage (Cambrian)
Shanchi Peng,Loren E. Babcock,Richard A. Robison,Huanling Lin,Margaret N. Rees,Matthew R. Saltzman +5 more
TL;DR: The Global Standard Stratotype-section and Point (GSSP) of the Furongian Series (uppermost series of the Cambrian System) and the Paibian Stage (lowermost stage of the furongian series), has been recently defined and ratified by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species diversity in the Phanerozoic; a tabulation
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that about 190,000 fossil invertebrate species were described and named through 1970, about 70% of which were described from USSR, Europe, and North America.
