The fate and function of marine megafauna
Life in Deep Time
How did rainforests and reefs respond to changes in temperature and carbon dioxide in the past? How did species evolve as a result of geological changes? What were tropical ecosystems like before humans? Our scientists address these questions using a rich fossil record. Their investigations look at the rise of the first tropical forests tens of millions of years ago; how marine species diverged after being isolated on either side of the Isthmus of Panama a few million of years ago; and how reefs and forests have changed over thousands of years in response to climate change and human impact.
