Biodiversity loss drove ecological collapse after the ‘Great Dying’, new study reveals.

Biodiversity loss may be the harbinger of a more devastating ecological collapse, an international team of scientists have discovered.

By exploring the stability and collapse of marine ecosystems during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, researchers have gained worrying insights into the modern biodiversity crisis, given that the rate of species loss today outpaces that during the event, known as the ‘Great Dying’.
