Fig. 1: Global diversity dynamics during the Phanerozoic.
From: Post-extinction recovery of the Phanerozoic oceans and biodiversity hotspots
a–c, Global diversity dynamics reconstructed from the saturated logistic model (red), the exponential model (blue) and the calibrated logistic model (blue dashed line) after imposing the pattern of mass extinctions extracted from the fossil diversity curve of ref. 20 (a), ref. 21 (b) and ref. 22. (c). In each panel, the corresponding fossil diversity curve is superimposed (grey). The shaded areas represent mass extinctions. C, Carboniferous; Cm, Cambrian; Cz, Cenozoic; D, Devonian; J, Jurassic; K, Cretaceous; O, Ordovician; P, Permain; S, Silurian; T, Triassic.
