New research upends long-held ideas about brachiopods and bivalves after the devastating Permian mass extinction. Computational analysis shows both groups declined together, rebounded, and were responding to shared environmental factors – not direct competition. Bivalves adapted better to post-extinction oceans, leading to brachiopod retreat, but didn’t actively displace them as once thought. The study provides fresh perspective on how life rebuilt after the catastrophic end-Permian crisis.
