Bayesian analyses indicate bivalves did not drive the downfall of brachiopods following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Certain times of major biotic replacement have often been interpreted as broadly competitive, mediated by innovation in the succeeding clades. A classic example was the switch from brachiopods to bivalves as major seabed organisms following the Permian ...

The demise of large tropical brachiopods and the Mesozoic marine revolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceChanges in predator–prey interactions are often implicated as drivers of major evolutionary change. A prominent example is the dramatic changes in shallow marine assemblages during the Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR) when major clades, including ...

Combining soft-bodied and three-dimensional fossils to reveal evolutionary modifications in early lingulellotretid brachiopods [PDF]
Communications BiologyLiving lingulide brachiopods are traditionally recognised as representatives of evolutionary conservatism, showing little change in general-morphology from their Cambrian ancestors.

Parasite-induced shell damage in brachiopod Porambonites (Porambonites) laticaudata from the Late Ordovician (Sandbian) of Estonia [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 A new type of shell damage has been described in Ordovician brachiopods in Porambonites (Porambonites) laticaudata. There is a pair of small pits with somewhat different outline in the shell surface at the anterior commissure of the brachiopod.

Paleoecology of the first Devonian-like sclerobiont association on Permian brachiopods from southeastern Mexico [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 This paper describes a sclerobiont association from the Paso Hondo Formation (Roadian, middle Permian), Chiapas, Mexico. Different marine invertebrates such as hederelloids, microconchids, bryozoans, and crinoids (represented by holdfasts) encrusted ...

When lingulid brachiopods became infaunal(?) – perspectives from the morphological and anatomical information [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Morphology usually serves as an effective proxy for functional ecology, and the evaluation of morphological, anatomical, and ecological changes allows for a deeper understanding of the nature of diversification and macroevolution.
