Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 435-447., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Phylogeny and evolutionary modularity of a trilobite family over the Ordovician Radiation [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Trilobites are organized in packages; the adult trilobite body plan is composed of a cephalon (head), thorax (midsection), and pygidium (tail). These packages, or modules, are composed of traits that evolve semi-independently such that change in one ...

Trilobite expansion into estuarine environments during the Ordovician radiation [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Trilobites have traditionally been considered fully marine. Through the integration of ichnological, palaeobiological and sedimentological datasets within a sequence-stratigraphic and stratiÂgraphic palaeobiology framework, we challenge this assumption.
