Moulting Patterns in Trilobites from the Devonian of Paraná Basin [PDF]
In general, trilobites had their moulting performed by the breakdown of the librigena, a region (more external) situated on the cephalon of those animals.

Inferring ancestral range reconstruction based on trilobite records: a study-case on Metacryphaeus (Phacopida, Calmoniidae). [PDF]
AbstractMetacryphaeus is a calmoniid trilobite genus from the Devonian Malvinokaffric Realm, exclusive to the Gondwanan regions. It includes eleven species, which are for the first time included here in a single phylogenetic analysis. The resulting hypotheses establish relations among the Metacryphaeus species with few ambiguities, also suggesting the ...

The occurrence of Phacopida trilobites from Pimenteira Formation at João Costa, Piauí, Brazil [PDF]
The marine macroinvertebrate fossils from the Devonian of the Parnaíba Basin are among the most diverse of Paleozoic of Brazil. In recent years, most revisions on these fossils involved trilobites from the Pimenteira and Cabeças formations, in the ...

Abstract. Calmoniid trilobites of the “Metacryphaeus tuberculatus group” occur in many Devonian localities within the Malvinokaffric Realm. In the Parnaiba Basin, in northeastern Brazil, the group is represented by Metacryphaeus tuberculatus Kozlowski, 1923, and M.

Systematics and biogeography of the “Malvinella group,” Calmoniidae (Trilobita, Devonian)
Phylogenetic parsimony analysis forms a basis for classification of the Siegenian–Eifelian “Malvinella group,” a monophyletic taxon within the “Metacryphaeus group” of the family Calmoniidae. Fifty-one exoskeletal characters for Metacryphaeus Reed and 12 taxa of the “Malvinella group” yield a shortest length cladogram with a consistency index of 0.51 ...

Phylogenetic parsimony analysis was used to classify the Siegenian–Eifelian “Metacryphaeus group” of the family Calmoniidae. Thirty-eight exoskeletal characters for 16 taxa produced a shortest-length cladogram with a consistency index of 0.49. A classification based on retrieving the structure of this cladogram recognizes nine genera: Typhloniscus ...

A re-examination of the trilobite Baniaspis globosa Destombes (Phacopina) from the Ashgill of the Anti-Atlas (Morocco) shows that it has several derived characters which allow us to classify it in the family Calmoniidae. Calmoniids were characteristic members of the Malvino-Kaffric province during the Lower Devonian. Hence we regard the origins of this

Trait-based diversification shifts reflect differential extinction among fossil taxa [PDF]
Evolution provides many cases of apparent shifts in diversification associated with particular anatomical traits. Three general models connect these patterns to anatomical evolution: (i) elevated net extinction of taxa bearing particular traits, (ii ...
