Un fuerte El Niño preparó a la Tierra para la extinción masiva
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|September 12, 2024
Resumen
Los eventos climáticos extremos, impulsados por los cambios oceánicos, causaron la extinción del Pérmico-Triásico hace 250 millones de años. Este evento de extinción masiva, conocido como la Gran Muerte, reformó la vida en la Tierra.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Paleoclimatología
- Biología marina
- Paleontología
Sus antecedentes:
- El evento de extinción del Permiano-Triásico (P-T), o "Gran Muerte", ocurrió hace aproximadamente 250 millones de años.
- Este evento representa la extinción más severa en la historia de la Tierra, eliminando más del 90% de las especies marinas y el 70% de las especies de vertebrados terrestres.
- La comprensión de los desencadenantes y mecanismos de la extinción del P-T es crucial para comprender la resiliencia y la recuperación del ecosistema.

22.2K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Organisms that are well-adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. However, natural selection does not lead to perfectly adapted organisms. Several factors constrain natural selection.

02:04Conservation of Small Populations
13.1K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

02:56The Fossil Record
25.1K
The fossil record documents only a small fraction of all organisms that have ever inhabited Earth. Fossilization is a rare process, and most organisms never become fossils. Moreover, the fossil record only exhibits fossils that have been discovered. Nevertheless, sedimentary rock fossils of long-lived, abundant, hard-bodied organisms dominate the fossil record. These fossils offer valuable information, such as an organism's physical form, behavior, and age. Studying the fossil record helps...

02:26Ecological Disturbance
17.0K
An ecological disturbance is a temporary disruption in the environment resulting from abiotic, biotic, or anthropogenic factors, causing a pronounced change in an ecosystem. The impact of an ecological disturbance, which can depend on its intensity, frequency, and spatial distribution, plays a significant role in shaping the species diversity within the ecosystem.
