| 英文摘要 | The Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME, ca. 252 Mya) was one of the most severe biotic crises of the Phanerozoic, eliminating >90% of marine and terrestrial species. This was followed by a long period of recovery in the Early and Middle Triassic which revolutionised the structure of both marine and terrestrial ecosystems, triggering the new ecosystem structure of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Entire new clades emerged after the mass extinction, including decapods and marine reptiles in the oceans and new tetrapods on land. In both marine and terrestrial ecosystems, the recovery is interpreted as stepwise and slow, from a combination of continuing environmental perturbations and complex multilevel interaction between species in the new environments as ecosystems reconstructed themselves. Here, we present a review of Early Triassic terrestrial tetrapod faunas, geological formations and outcrops around the world, and provide a semi-quantitative analysis of a data set of Early Triassic terrestrial tetrapods. We identify a marked regionalisation of Early Triassic terrestrial tetrapods, with faunas varying in both taxonomic composition and relative abundance according to palaeolatitudinal belt. We reject the alleged uniformity of faunas around Pangaea suggested in the literature as a result of the hot-house climate. In addition, we can restrict the “tetrapod gap” of terrestrial life in the Early Triassic to palaeolatitudes between 15°N and about 31°S, in contrast to the earlier suggestion of total absence of tetrapod taxa between 30°N and 40°S. There was fairly strong provincialism following the PTME, according to cluster analysis of a taxon presence matrix, entirely consistent with Early Triassic palaeobiogeography. Unexpectedly, the overall pattern for Early Triassic terrestrial tetrapod faunas largely reflects that of the Late Permian, suggesting that the recovery faunas in the Early Triassic retained some kind of imprint of tetrapod distributions according to palaeogeography and palaeoclimate, despite the near-total extinction of life through the PTME. © 2020 |
