Mass extinctions are characterized by the loss of at least 75% of species within a geologically short period of time (i e , less than 2 million years) [22] [54] The Holocene extinction is also known as the "sixth extinction", as it is possibly the sixth mass extinction event, after the Ordovician–Silurian extinction events, the Late Devonian extinction, the Permian–Triassic extinction

- Temporal turnover in species ranks can explain variation in . . .
Our simulations demonstrate how high turnover among all species' ranks (reordering all species) can yield communities with z-values in the range of [1, 2], whereas group-specific turnover, namely rank-inconsistency only for the dominant species or rare species throughout the years, can yield communities with z values outside the range of [1, 2]
