The finding may force us to reconsider our understanding of early animal evolution. (newscientist.com)
«If oxygen levels were 3 % and they rose past that 10 % threshold, that would have had a huge influence on early animal evolution,» he says. (scientificamerican.com)
In the new study, Professor Pisani and colleagues used cutting edge statistical techniques (Posterior Predictive Analyses) to test whether the evolutionary models routinely used in phylogenetics can adequately describe the genomic datasets used to study early animal evolution. (sciencedaily.com)
