The plant fossil record reflects just two great extinction events (2014, background): “…Sepkoski, 1982; Alroy, 2008; Schulte et al., 2010; Longrich et al., 2011, 2012; Mitchell et al., 2013), and caused ecological disruption and localized loss of species diversity in vegetation (Wilf and Johnson, 2004; McElwain and Punyasena, 2007; Nichols and Johnson, 2008; Mizukami et al., 2012).”
Mammals across the K/Pg boundary in northeastern Montana, U.S.A.: dental morphology and body-size patterns reveal extinction selectivity and immigrant-fueled ecospace filling (2013, background): “…leading up to and immediately after the K/Pg boundary (see Schulte et al. 2010) and detailed the taxonomic patterns of the extinction among marine and, to a lesser extent, terrestrial ecosystems (see MacLeod and Keller 1996; Wilson 2005, in press; Nichols and Johnson 2008; Archibald 2011).”
Early evolutionary history of the flowering plant family Annonaceae: steady diversification and boreotropical geodispersal (2011, unknown): “Other authors indicate, mainly based on the plant fossil record, that the K/Pg boundary resulted in massive extinction of land plants (Wolfe & Upchurch, 1986; Wilf & Johnson, 2004; Nichols & Johnson, 2008).”
