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.

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.

A review of the Late Cambrian (Furongian) palaeogeography in the western Mediterranean region, NW Gondwana
J. Javier Álvaro,J. Javier Álvaro,Annalisa Ferretti,Cristina González-Gómez,Enrico Serpagli,M. Franco Tortello,Marco Vecoli,Daniel Vizcaïno +7 more
TL;DR: The Cambrian-Ordovician transition of the western Mediterranean region (NW Gondwana) is characterized by the record of major erosive unconformities with gaps that range from a chronostratigraphic stage to a series as mentioned in this paper.

Dynamic patterns of latest Proterozoic-Palaeozoic-early Mesozoic marine biodiversity in South China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated 50 time intervals with an average duration of 6.8 Ma and found that marine biodiversity peaked six times within the intervals: (1) Early Cambrian explosive radiation, (2) Early-mid Ordovician radiation mainly of the Paleozoic Evolutionary Fauna, (3) Early Silurian radiation, late Early-Mid Devonian radiation, mid-Late Permian radiation and (6) Mid Triassic radiation chiefly of the Modern Evolutionary fauna.

Decoupling biogeochemical records, extinction, and environmental change during the Cambrian SPICE event
James D. Schiffbauer,John Warren Huntley,David A. Fike,Matthew Jarrell Jeffrey,Jay M. Gregg,Kevin L. Shelton +5 more
TL;DR: A paradigm shift is called for to better constrain facies, stratigraphic, and biostratigraphic architecture and to apply these observations to the variability in magnitude, stratigraphy extent, and timing of the SPICE signal, as well as other biogeochemical perturbations, to elucidate the complex processes driving the ocean-carbonate system.
