Developmental traits and life strategy of redlichiid trilobites. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The developmental mode of four redlichiid trilobites is summarized, based upon exceptionally well‐preserved, articulated specimens from Cambrian Series 2 (stages 3 and 4) strata in southwestern China and South Australia. These relatively complete developmental sequences indicate a balanced rate in segment increase and addition to the thorax ...

Miaolingian (Cambrian) trilobite biostratigraphy and carbon isotope chemostratigraphy in the Tingskullen drill core, Öland, Sweden [PDF]
The Cambrian succession of the Tingskullen drill core from northern Ãland comprises Cambrian Series 2 and Miaolingian (Wuliuan Stage) siliciclastic strata.

Abstract Trilobites are an abundant group of Palaeozoic marine euarthropods that appear abruptly in the fossil record c. 521 million years ago. Quantifying the development of morphological variation (or ‘disparity’) through time in fossil groups like trilobites is critical in understanding evolutionary radiations such as the Cambrian ‘explosion’. Here,

Abstract New, accurately located and well‐preserved agnostid trilobite material has been collected from the type locality of the Drumian (middle Cambrian, Miaolingian) Manuels River Formation, Newfoundland, Canada. The well‐exposed grey to black shales containing the fauna were deposited on the former microcontinent Avalonia.

Phylogenetic response of naraoiid arthropods to early–middle Cambrian environmental change
Abstract The Cambrian Period, primarily known for animal life diversifying, experienced global extinctions. Pulses of extinction in Cambrian Series 2 are exemplified by the disappearance of archaeocyath sponges and olenelline and redlichiid trilobites.

Studies that reveal detailed information about trilobite growth, particularly early developmental stages, are crucial for improving our understanding of the phylogenetic relationships within this iconic group of fossil arthropods.

The fossil record of ecdysis, and trends in the moulting behaviour of trilobites [PDF]
Ecdysis, the process of moulting an exoskeleton, is one of the key characters uniting arthropods, nematodes and a number of smaller phyla into Ecdysozoa.
