In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal
