Oxygen, ecology, and the Cambrian radiation of animals
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is shown that low oxygen is clearly linked to low proportions of carnivores in a community and low diversity of carnivorous taxa, whereas higher oxygen levels support more complex food webs, and the recognition of a physiological control on carnivory links environmental triggers and ecological drivers providing an integrated explanation for both the pattern and timing of Cambrian animal radiation.
