Researchers uncover synchronous ecological collapse across Paleotethys Ocean during Permian–Triassic transition

A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS), in collaboration with international partners, has completed a high-resolution biomarker analysis of the Zal section in northwest Iran. This study uncovers new insights into ecological disruption and microbial community shifts across the Permian–Triassic (P–T) transition in the region.
