“…However, this may not be the entire explanation, as some other groups also show elevated rates of speciation and extinction during this time interval. For instance, Balseiro (2016) and Balseiro & Halpern (2019) did document evolutionary turnover at high latitudes, and elevated evolutionary rates have also been found in fusulinid foraminifera (Groves & Lee, 2008; Groves & Yue, 2009) and advanced cladid crinoids (Segessenman & Kammer, 2018). Ultimately, we support the contention raised by Segessenman & Kammer (2018) that patterns from a few individual groups do not refute the general pattern of sluggish macroevolution postulated for this time period in the history of life.…”

“…(Previous studies of ammonoids have shown that these changes in sea-level may have caused more significant changes in biogeographic ranges of taxa than temperature changes during this time period, and other time periods as well (Hallam, 1987; Hartenfels & Becker, 2016; Zhang et al, in press). Those changes impacted patterns of geographic range in both terrestrial plant (e.g., DiMichele et al, 2009; Falcon-Lang & DiMichele, 2010) and marine invertebrate ecosystems (e.g., Ramsbottom, 1981; Leighton, 2005; Powell, 2007; Waterhouse & Shi, 2010; Balseiro & Halpern, 2019). When it comes to marine invertebrates from this time interval, most of the focus has been on the highly diverse benthic faunas (e.g., Stanley & Powell, 2003; Powell, 2007; Bonelli & Patzkowsky, 2011; Balseiro, 2016; Segessenman & Kammer, 2018; Balseiro & Halpern, 2019); however, taxa that have a pelagic life style are also worth examining.…”

Herein, 79 pelagic species of cephalopods were examined for patterns of range size change using GIS and although in general these species exhibit some evidence for changes in geographic range size (Fig.…”

Geographic range is an important macroevolutionary parameter frequently considered in paleontological studies as species’ distributions and range sizes are determined by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors well known to affect the differential birth and death of species. Thus, considering how distributions and range sizes fluctuate over time can provide important insight into evolutionary dynamics. This study uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and analyses of evolutionary rates to examine how in some species within the Cephalopoda, an important pelagic clade, geographic range size and rates of speciation and extinction changed throughout the Pennsylvanian and early Permian in the North American Midcontinent Sea. This period is particularly interesting for biogeographic and evolutionary studies because it is characterized by repetitive interglacial-glacial cycles, a global transition from an icehouse to a greenhouse climate during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age, and decelerated macroevolutionary dynamics, i.e. low speciation and extinction rates. The analyses presented herein indicate that cephalopod species diversity was not completely static and actually fluctuated throughout the Pennsylvanian and early Permian, matching findings from other studies. However, contrary to some other studies, the mean geographic ranges of cephalopod species did not change significantly through time, despite numerous climate oscillations; further, geographic range size did not correlate with rates of speciation and extinction. These results suggest that pelagic organisms may have responded differently to late Paleozoic climate changes than benthic organisms, although additional consideration of this issue is needed. Finally, these results indicate that, at least in the case of cephalopods, macroevolution during the late Paleozoic was more dynamic than previously characterized, and patterns may have varied across different clades during this interval.

“…Latitudinal range (maximum observed paleolatitude minus minimum observed paleolatitude) is also used commonly to characterize geographic range sizes (Powell 2005, 2007; Foote and Miller 2013; Finnegan et al 2016; Balseiro and Halpern 2019; Darroch et al 2020). Unlike a convex hull, latitudinal range is a linear metric and may reflect breadth of thermal tolerance (Jackson 1974; Stanley and Powell 2003; Powell 2007; Sunday et al 2012), with larger latitudinal ranges potentially indicating greater thermal tolerances.…”

“…The late Paleozoic is interesting from a macroevolutionary perspective, because it was a time of “sluggish” evolution when global rates of origination and extinction were low (Stanley and Powell 2003; Powell 2005; Segessenman and Kammer 2018; Balseiro and Halpern 2019; Kolis and Lieberman 2019) in spite of dramatic, cyclical changes in climate and the environment (Parrish 1993; Olszewski and Patzkowsky 2001a,b; Raymond and Metz 2004; Horton et al 2012; Balseiro 2016). The LPIA was the longest-lasting glacial period of the Phanerozoic, which lasted from 320 to 260 Ma.…”

The effects of geographic range size and abundance on extinction during a time of “sluggish”’ evolution

Geographic range size and abundance are important determinants of extinction risk in fossil and extant taxa. However, the relationship between these variables and extinction risk has not been tested extensively during evolutionarily “quiescent” times of low extinction and speciation in the fossil record. Here we examine the influence of geographic range size and abundance on extinction risk during the late Paleozoic (Mississippian–Permian), a time of “sluggish” evolution when global rates of origination and extinction were roughly half those of other Paleozoic intervals. Analyses used spatiotemporal occurrences for 164 brachiopod species from the North American midcontinent. We found abundance to be a better predictor of extinction risk than measures of geographic range size. Moreover, species exhibited reductions in abundance before their extinction but did not display contractions in geographic range size. The weak relationship between geographic range size and extinction in this time and place may reflect the relative preponderance of larger-ranged taxa combined with the physiographic conditions of the region that allowed for easy habitat tracking that dampened both extinction and speciation. These conditions led to a prolonged period (19–25 Myr) during which standard macroevolutionary rules did not apply.
