A diverse diapsid tooth assemblage from the Early Triassic (Driefontein locality, South Africa) records the recovery of diapsids following the end-Permian mass extinction.
Mass extinctions change the trajectory of evolution and restructure ecosystems.The largest mass extinction, the end-Permian, is a particularly interesting case due to the hypothesized delay in the recovery of global ecosystems, where total trophic level recovery Flower is not thought to have occurred until 5-9 million years after the extinction eve
