Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2170-2194, October 2025.Abstract Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool for studying fluid interactions in biological systems. While widely used in engineering, its application in the natural sciences, particularly in paleobiology, remains limited due to the challenges of meshing complex organic geometries.

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2084-2098, October 2025.ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1107-1131, September 2025.Analysing Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and other trace elements together with stable isotope data in poorly preserved belemnites can provide valuable insights into early diagenetic pathways, water‐interaction processes, and even potential redox conditions.

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract The Australian Cambrian stratigraphic record is one of the most complete for any continent. However, there is a general division, with older Cambrian rocks in South Australia (predominantly Terreneuvian, Stage 2 to Miaolingian, Wuliuan) and younger rocks in northern Australia (mostly latest Series 2, Stage 4 and younger), with minimal ...

Ten simple rules to follow when cleaning occurrence data in palaeobiology
Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract Large datasets of fossil occurrences, often downloaded from online community‐maintained databases, are a vital resource for understanding broad‐scale evolutionary patterns, such as how biodiversity has changed through time and space. Such datasets, however, are not infallible and must be ‘cleaned’ of inaccurate, incomplete, or duplicate data ...

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract Understanding the evolution and phylogenetic distribution of morphologic traits is fundamental to macroevolutionary research. Despite decades of major advances and key insights from molecular systematics, organismal anatomical features remain a key source of biological data for both inferring phylogenies and investigating patterns of trait ...

A new occurence of the genus Tonkinella in northern Spain and the Middle Cambrian intercontinental correlation [PDF]
, 2003 The genus Tonkinella is a typical polimeroid trilobite in lower Middle Cambrian rocks from Vietnam, Canada, U.S.A., India, Korea, Siberia, China and Argentina. It has recently been found in the Mediterranean region (Iberian Chain, northeastern Spain). In

The contribution of metabolic theory to ecology
Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 3, August 2025.Abstract The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) has been an important strand in ecology for almost a quarter of a century, renewing interest in the importance of body size and the role of energy. The core of the MTE is a hydrodynamic model of the vertebrate cardiovascular system that predicts allometric scaling of metabolic rate with exponents in the ...

The modular organization of the trilobite head in Ceraurus pleurexanthemus
Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.Abstract The trilobite head is a complex structure composed of multiple fused segments which served several functions. Modelling the head as being constituted of modules, or subunits that vary semi‐independently from each other, can reveal underlying patterns of organization. Hypotheses of modular organization based on comparative developmental biology
