Abstract

The modern diversity of sharks, skates, and rays (Neoselachii) is the result of various diversification and extinction events during the Mesozoic (252-66 Ma). However, the key drivers of their diversity patterns remain poorly understood despite all the progress that has been accomplished in recent years. Here, we show that the interplay of climatic- and tectonic-linked trajectories, resulting in a high shallow marine habitat availability and lower atmospheric CO2 concentration, were significant drivers and sustainers of Mesozoic neoselachian diversity. We show, for the first time, that higher atmospheric CO2 content negatively affected neoselachian diversity in the past. The recognized gradual faunal changes throughout the Mesozoic and the two major diversification events during the Jurassic and Cretaceous, respectively, ultimately cumulated in an all-time diversity high in the Palaeogene despite the events during the end-Cretaceous extinction event, highlighting their remarkable resilience and adaptability despite severe environmental challenges. We thus provide novel perspectives on the processes underlying neoselachian diversification since the Mesozoic that contribute importantly to a better understanding of the selective forces that have shaped the long-term evolution and diversification of neoselachians. Given their vital role in modern ecosystems, our results provide information about possible future trends in the face of the current climate crisis.

中生代新石器时代成功和恢复能力的驱动因素。
鲨鱼、鳐鱼和魟(Neoselachii)的现代多样性是中生代(252-66 Ma)期间各种多样化和灭绝事件的结果。然而,尽管近年来取得了诸多进展,人们对其多样性模式的关键驱动因素仍然知之甚少。在这里,我们展示了气候和构造相关轨迹的相互作用,导致浅海栖息地可用性高和大气二氧化碳浓度低,是中生代新蛇类多样性的重要驱动因素和维持因素。我们首次表明,大气中较高的二氧化碳含量对过去新蛇类的多样性产生了负面影响。尽管在白垩纪末期发生了灭绝事件,但整个中生代公认的动物渐变以及侏罗纪和白垩纪分别发生的两次重大多样化事件,最终在古近纪达到了历史最高的多样性水平,突显了它们在严峻的环境挑战下仍具有非凡的恢复力和适应性。因此,我们对中生代以来新黑线鳕的多样化过程提供了新的视角,这对更好地理解影响新黑线鳕长期进化和多样化的选择性力量具有重要意义。鉴于它们在现代生态系统中的重要作用,我们的研究结果提供了面对当前气候危机的未来可能趋势的信息。

期刊介绍: Biology (ISSN 2079-7737) is an international, peer-reviewed, quick-refereeing open access journal of Biological Science published by MDPI online. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications in all areas of biology and at the interface of related disciplines. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
