Temporal variation of planetary iron as a driver of evolution.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Dec 2021

Wade Jon, Byrne David J, Ballentine Chris J, Drakesmith Hal

Abstract excerpt

Iron is an irreplaceable component of proteins and enzyme systems required for life. This need for iron is a well-characterized evolutionary mechanism for genetic selection. However, there is limited consideration of how iron bioavailability, initially determined by planetary accretion but fluctuating considerably at global scale over geological time frames, has shaped the biosphere. We describe influences of...
