Neoselachian faunal composition change (DCA axis 1) throughout the latest Mesozoic and the Cenozoic: Blue solid line shows the rate of faunal change as a function of its ordination derived from DCA rescaled faunal composition. Y-axis units are standard deviation as a proxy for faunal turnover. Marked events in Earth’s history are indicated by dashed lines for reference. Abbreviations: MMCO, mid Miocene climate optimum; MPWP, mid Pliocene warm period; PETM, Palaeocene–Eocene thermal maximum; OMT, Oligocene-Miocene climatic transition; δ13C-shift, Carbon (δ13C) isotope shift.
