A mass extinction results in gradual extinction of all other species presently alive on earth
The survivors of a mass extinction have available to them a great deal of ecological opportunity. Many habitats are opened, and an abundance of new species may evolve.
With less demand on resources, surviving species tend to stay unchanged for a long period of time following a mass extinction.
After a mass extinction, the occurrence of genetic mutations in surviving species will significantly increase.
