Extended Data Fig. 8 — Spatial distribution of marine animal diversity (# genera / area) in the Cambrian (Guzhangian, 500 Ma), Late Ordovician (Katian, 450 Ma), Early Devonian (Emsian, 400 Ma), Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian, 300 Ma), Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian, 70 Ma) and present generated by the calibrated logistic model after imposing the pattern of mass extinctions extracted from the fossil diversity curve of Sepkoski²⁰. This model run uses the following parameters: Q₁₀ = 1 (no temperature dependence), K_food = 0 molC m⁻²y⁻¹ (no food dependence), net diversification rate limits (ρ_min − ρ_max) = 0.001-0.035 Myr⁻¹, and a K_min to K_max range between 12 and 123 genera.
