Microbial Metabolic Innovation: A Constraint On The Early Animal Fossil Record?

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Lucas Measures .

For most of Earth’s history, soft tissues were rarely captured by the fossil record. Yet, for a brief window in the Ediacaran and early Palaeozoic, exceptional preservation of animal soft tissues was commonplace. Probing the genomes of a diverse array of microorganisms reveals metabolic innovations that substantially increase the decay rate of animal tissues, coincident with the decline of Ediacaran-style exceptional preservation.
