Paleobiogeography of Lower-Middle Devonian Conulariids
“The bioregionalization of the Devonian fauna in southwest Gondwana has been extensively studied, focusing on the occurrences of brachiopods and trilobites, however, little attention has been given to Conulariids. The main goal of this paper is to propose a bioregionalization for the Conulariids (Conularia albertensis, C. quichua, C. sp., Paraconularia africana, P. ulrichana, and Reticulaconularia baini) from the Lower-Middle Devonian in southwest Gondwana. After a clustering analysis and […]“The bioregionalization of the Devonian fauna in southwest Gondwana has been extensively studied, focusing on the occurrences of brachiopods and trilobites, however, little attention has been given to Conulariids.

Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic
“The Arctic is warming four times faster than the global average, and plant communities are responding through shifts in species abundance, composition and distribution. However, the direction and magnitude of local plant diversity changes have not been explored thus far at a pan-Arctic scale. Using a compilation of 42,234 records of 490 vascular plant species […]

Response of siliceous marine organisms
“Siliceous marine ecosystems play a critical role on the Earth’s climate system through its influence on organic carbon burial and rates of marine authigenic clay formation (i.e. reverse weathering). The ecological demise of silicifying organisms associated with the Permian-Triassic mass extinction is postulated to have elevated rates of marine authigenic clay formation, resulting in a […]

Unveiling the evolution of the Kungurian fauna
“The end of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age is associated with a distinct vegetation turnover that gradually replaced wetland forests with a vegetation dominated by drought tolerant plants. The Kungurian plant fossil and sporomorph assemblages of the Southern Alps are among the most rich, diverse and well-dated from the Cisuralian paleotropics. The integration of recently […]

A Coelophysoidea (Dinosauria, Therpoda) femur
“Theropods originated in the Late Triassic and their relations and early evolution are still topics of discussion. Within Neotheropoda, coelophysoids represent their earliest worldwide radiation and include most Triassic theropods, but their internal relations remain volatile. In this paper, we discuss the significance of a coelophysoid femur from the Rhaetian Tytherington fissures near Bristol, UK.

Measurement theory and paleobiology
“The way we measure entities can have significant downstream effects on the transformations we can employ and the analytical methods we can use without breaking the link between the measurement and the aspect of reality they represent. Despite its obvious importance in any quantitative science, measurement theory is currently underused in biological research, including paleobiology.Proper […]
