Extinction Pulses

Extinction Pulses is a theoretical construct in extinction dynamics that denotes a sudden, temporally clustered increase in the rate of species extinctions over a relatively short geological time interval, distinguishing it from background extinction by its intensity, synchrony, and deviation from steady-state turnover.
