Late Permian (Lopingian) terrestrial ecosystems: A global comparison with new data from the low-latitude Bletterbach Biota (2017, background): “The late Permian Karoo climate is generally reconstructed as arid (Retallack et al., 2003, 2006; Ward et al., 2005), although Cuneo (1996) suggested a temperate climate with a strong dry season, based on the absence of peat-forming horizons.”
Bone microanatomy and lifestyle: A descriptive approach (2011, background): “, 2005) or burrowing (Retallack et al., 2003) ifestyle has been suggested for the Permo-Triassic dicyndont Lystrosaurus from South Africa, although serious oubts have been expressed about the data supporting a ossorial lifestyle (Modesto and Botha–Brink, 2010).”
A comprehensive taxonomic revision of Dicynodon (Therapsida, Anomodontia) and its implications for dicynodont phylogeny, biogeography, and biostratigraphy (2011, methodology): “…and the last appearance of Dicynodon has been used as a biostratigraphic marker for the end-Permian extinction in recent studies of this event in the Karoo (Smith, 1995; MacLeod et al., 2000; Ward et al., 2000, 2005; Smith and Ward, 2001; Retallack et al., 2003; although see Gastaldo et al., 2009).”
Rapid demise and recovery of plant ecosystems across the end-Permian extinction event (2010, unknown): “The climatic conditions following this event are described as more equable, warmer and less seasonal (Kidder and Worsley, 2004; Lindström and McLoughlin, 2007; Retallack, 1999; Retallack et al., 2003).”
The recovery of terrestrial vertebrate diversity in the South African Karoo Basin after the end-Permian extinction (2005, methodology): “This facies has very little evidence for pedogenesis, however, Retal-lack et al. [48] ﬁgure hollow roots of aquatic isoetale-ans from this interval and it does have distinctive long cylindrical unbranched callianassid-like burrow casts with possible scratch marks on the outer surface.”
Climate Variability and the Energetic Pathways of Evolution: The Origin of Endothermy in Mammals and Birds (2004, background): “A role for aerobic scope in the survival of Permian-Triassic mass extinctions by therapsid vertebrates was recently suggested by Retallack et al. (2003).”
Rapid vertebrate recuperation in the Karoo Basin of South Africa following the End-Permian extinction (2006, methodology): “Perhaps a more plausible interpretation of the observed changes in fluvial style and pedogenesis is that they were brought about by an increase in mean annual temperature combined with the onset of a monsoonal rainfall regime (Retallack et al., 2003).”
