How Plants Survived The K-Pg Extinction

Di: Everly

PBS Eons has a new video over on Youtube. This one is about Angiosperm plants and how many of them survived the K-Pg mass extinction. Perhaps for plants in times of great

Flowering plants not only survived the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs, but ultimately benefited from this catastrophic event, according to a new study led by the University of Bath. The K-Pg extinction event wiped out

Nature’s true survivors: Flowering plants lived through the dinosaur

As a consequence of an asteroid impact, 66 Ma ago, the biosphere experienced a global extinction event so large that it defines the boundary between the Mesozoic and the

While host-plant specialization may lead to extinction at times of major ecosystem crises, such as the K-Pg, during other, much more prolonged intervals of background

Because plants are the primary producers in terrestrial ecosystems and one of the most biodiverse groups of organisms, the paleobotanical record is critical for understanding

The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event eradicated at least 75% of all species on Earth including the dinosaurs, but until now it’s been unclear what impact it had on flowering

(i.e. orders, families) originated during the Cretaceous, survived the K-Pg event, and eventually recovered in diversity during the Palaeocene. The rise to ecological dominance of angiosperms

The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event eradicated at least 75% of all species on Earth including the dinosaurs, but until now it’s been unclear what impact it had on

We found that extinction rates seem to have been remarkably constant over the last 140-240 million years. This finding highlights how resilient angiosperms have been over

Let’s take a tour around the world to see how different areas were affected by the K-Pg extinction event. We’ll start our journey in North America, where some of the most famous dinosaur

The K-Pg extinction was a sudden mass extinction that took place about 66 million years ago during the Mesozoic Era (252-66 million years ago), wiping out up to 75% of plants

The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event eradicated at least 75% of all species on Earth including the dinosaurs, but until now it’s been unclear what impact it had on flowering plants.

In north temperate latitudes, regions close to the impact site were denuded of all life, forests were leveled, and four out of five species of plants went extinct. Analysis of North American K-Pg

The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event, also known as the K–T extinction, was a global extinction event that occurred around 66 million years ago, resulting in the mass extinction of three-quarters of plant and

Following this event, known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction (K-Pg), a new dawn emerged for Earth. Ecosystems bounced back, but the life inhabiting them

One such period characterized the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary, following a meteor impact near Chicxulub in Mexico, about 66 million years ago, which caused

To determine how flowering plants fared during the K-Pg extinction event, Dr. Thompson teamed up with Santiago Ramírez-Barahona, an evolutionary geneticist at the

Flowering plants not only survived the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs, but ultimately benefited from this catastrophic event, according to a new study led by the

Overall, the study supports the hypothesis that the widespread destruction of forests following the asteroid’s impact favored ground-dwelling mammals over their arboreal

Modern biodiversity is shaped by the surviving lineages of the K/Pg (e.g., Erwin 2002; Krug et al. 2017), establishing today’s biogeographic patterns, in part, as the legacy of a

• As Earth recovered after the K–Pg mass extinction, plants and animals coevolved in ecosystems once occupied by dinosaurs, leading to the current diversity of life on Earth. • The fossil record

The Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) mass extinction event of 66 Ma is not only the most recent of the Phanerozoic ‘Big Five’ mass extinctions (Bambach, 2006), but also the most

Scientists have discovered flowering plants were largely unscathed by the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event 66 million years ago, allowing them to take advantage of the new
