Standing global diversity of decapods and Brachyura or true crabs across the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary. Diversity is shown at the species- and genus-levels. Four sets of histograms are used to compare the number of taxa present in the Maastrichtian and the Danian: raw, standardized per 5 my, standardized per 100 marine formations globally as a proxy for outcrop area, and standardized per 100 maps with marine outcrops in Western Europe as a proxy for outcrop area [127]. a Decapod species. b Brachyuran species. c Decapod genera. d Brachyuran genera
