| Description: |
A team of researchers is using network analysis techniques - popularized through social media applications - to find patterns in Earth's natural history. By using network analysis to search for communities of marine life in the fossil records of the Paleobiology Database, the team, was able to quantify the ecological impacts of major events like mass extinctions and may help us anticipate the consequences of a "sixth mass extinction."
