“…The second Permian event is the end‐Guadalupian (or mid‐Capitanian; Wignall et al ., ) extinction. This event is associated with shifts in the carbon and oxygen isotope record (Chen et al ., ) and a first‐order sea‐level lowstand (see Groves & Wang, , for a summary).…”

“…Although there is still disagreement about the timing and main triggers of the end‐Guadalupian extinction (Clapham, Shen & Bottjer, ; Groves & Wang, ), it seems that the event is prolonged and possibly linked to a cool phase during the Capitanian (‘Kamura event’; Isozaki, Kawahata & Ota, ) as well as to the extrusion of the Emeishan Traps (southern China) and the sea‐level lowstand during the Capitanian–Wuchiapingian transition (e.g. Clapham & Payne, ; Wignall et al ., ; Groves & Wang, ). Victims of the Guadalupian crisis were predominantly marine invertebrates, including fusulinoidean foraminifera, corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, and ammonoids (Glenister & Furnish, ; Stanley & Yang, ; Wang & Sugiyama, ; Clapham et al ., ; Groves & Wang, ), although some terrestrial tetrapods also suffered extinctions during the Middle Permian (Lucas, ; Fröbisch, ).…”

Permian–TriassicOsteichthyes (bony fishes): diversity dynamics and body size evolution

et al. 2014

The Permian and Triassic were key time intervals in the history of life on Earth. Both periods are marked by a series of biotic crises including the most catastrophic of such events, the end-Permian mass extinction, which eventually led to a major turnover from typical Palaeozoic faunas and floras to those that are emblematic for the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Here we review patterns in Permian-Triassic bony fishes, a group whose evolutionary dynamics are understudied. Based on data from primary literature, we analyse changes in their taxonomic diversity and body size (as a proxy for trophic position) and explore their response to Permian-Triassic events. Diversity and body size are investigated separately for different groups of Osteichthyes (Dipnoi, Actinistia, 'Palaeopterygii', 'Subholostei', Holostei, Teleosteomorpha), within the marine and freshwater realms and on a global scale (total diversity) as well as across palaeolatitudinal belts. Diversity is also measured for different palaeogeographical provinces. Our results suggest a general trend from low osteichthyan diversity in the Permian to higher levels in the Triassic. Diversity dynamics in the Permian are marked by a decline in freshwater taxa during the Cisuralian. An extinction event during the end-Guadalupian crisis is not evident from our data, but 'palaeopterygians' experienced a significant body size increase across the Guadalupian-Lopingian boundary and these fishes upheld their position as large, top predators from the Late Permian to the Late Triassic. Elevated turnover rates are documented at the Permian-Triassic boundary, and two distinct diversification events are noted in the wake of this biotic crisis, a first one during the Early Triassic (dipnoans, actinistians, 'palaeopterygians', 'subholosteans') and a second one during the Middle Triassic ('subholosteans', neopterygians). The origination of new, small taxa predominantly among these groups during the Middle Triassic event caused a significant reduction in osteichthyan body size. Neopterygii, the clade that encompasses the vast majority of extant fishes, underwent another diversification phase in the Late Triassic. The Triassic radiation of Osteichthyes, predominantly of Actinopterygii, which only occurred after severe extinctions among Chondrichthyes during the Middle-Late Permian, resulted in a profound change within global fish communities, from chondrichthyan-rich faunas of the Permo-Carboniferous to typical Mesozoic and Cenozoic associations dominated by actinopterygians. This turnover was not sudden but followed a stepwise pattern, with leaps during extinction events.

“…In the recent literature there are many examples of marked negative 0 13 C excursions of stable carbon isotopes linked to the biotic crisis level at the Permian Triassic Boundary (FIB) in marine environments (Baud et al, 1989;Erwin, 1993;Kaiho et al, 2005;Yin et aL, 2007), and relatively few for the mid-Capitanian (Bond et al, 2010.;Wignall et al, 2012). Gen erally this intra-Capitanian event in marine rocks is related to a negative excursion that occurred in two or three steps following lll1usually high positive 0 13 Ccar b values (Bond et al, 2010a), interpreted as a high bio-productivity event known as the "Kamura event" (Isozaki et al, 2007, Isozak� 2009).…”

“…Lack of precise geochronological control of stratigraphic sections could be, in part, re sponsible for this disparity of opinions, although the most recent and de tailed studies in the marine realm, which are dated with conodonts and foraminifers, locate the extinction level in the mid-Capitanian (Middle Permian) (Bond et aI., 2010a;Wignall et aI., 2012). Moreover, Wignall et aL (2012) find no evidence for an extinction event at the end of the Guadalupian, and suggest that previous claims for an end-Guadalupian mass extinction are based on poorly dated records of a mid-Capitanian event According to the most recent references (Bond et al, 201Da,b;Wignall et al, 2012), the Middle Permian biotic crisis will be referred to as "mid-Capitanian" for the rest of this paper, even if other authors re ferred to it as "end-Guadalupian".…”

“…As a consequence, the late Capitanian extinction was chiefly severe in these regions, however, it was less compelling in central and western Tethys, including Turkey (Bond & Wignall, ). It has been demonstrated that the Permian sea‐level was at its lowest position during the late Capitanian (Bond & Wignall, ; Hallam & Wignall, ; Ross & Ross, ; Wignall et al, ). Accordingly, Arefifard () and Kolodka et al () stated that the regression and deposition of shallow‐marine sediments are the principal phenomena of the late Capitanian of Iran in the Western Tethys.…”

The study focuses on the Middle Permian recrystallized limestone succession, previously considered as Triassic, at the eastern parts of Lake Van (eastern Turkey) representing the northern margin of Gondwana. The Middle Permian successions in the region are mainly composed of slightly metamorphosed, recrystallized limestones. The shallow‐water depositional settings of the studied units are characterized by the relative dominance of smaller foraminifers and rare occurrence of fusulinids. Middle Permian foraminifers recorded from eastern Anatolia are typically Tethyan assemblages for the Capitanian (Guadalupian) age. Detailed microfacies analysis by textural analysis and faunal assemblages have been undertaken throughout the studied sections. The Capitanian carbonates of the region are mainly characterized by six major microfacies types representing shallow marine environments, ranging from foreshoal environment to shoal and backshoal environments. Within the scope of sequence stratigraphic interpretations, vertical stacking patterns of these microfacies types reflecting different depositional environments reveal the presence of two third‐order depositional sequences, each of which consists of a transgressive systems tract and a highstand systems tract. Within the context of sequence stratigraphy, the microfacies changes point out the relative sea‐level fall towards the upper part of the sections, coinciding with the onset of a regression recorded worldwide in the Capitanian.
