Climate-change-enhanced habitat diversification for the Middle Jurassic Yanliao Biota in East Asia. [PDF]

Natl Sci Rev
ABSTRACT The Jurassic Period was characterized by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of early mammals, with the Yanliao Biota (∼167–157 Ma) in East Asia notable for its exceptional fossil preservation and diverse life forms. However, the drivers of the flourishing of the Yanliao Biota remain unclear.

The rise of predation in Jurassic lampreys [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Lampreys, one of two living lineages of jawless vertebrates, are always intriguing for their feeding behavior via the toothed suctorial disc and life cycle comprising the ammocoete, metamorphic, and adult stages. However, they left a meager fossil record,

Temporal framework for the Yanliao Biota and timing of the origin of crown mammals

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2023
Establishing the temporal sequence of the Middle-Late Jurassic Yanliao Biota is essential as it anchors the timing of many key evolutionary innovations in vertebrates. Lack of sufficiently reliable high-precision ages of fossil-bearing horizons hinders our ability to reconstruct the tempo and mode of vertebrate evolution.

An Updated Review of the Middle‐Late Jurassic Yanliao Biota: Chronology, Taphonomy, Paleontology and Paleoecology

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, 2016
AbstractThe northeastern Chinese Yanliao Biota (sometimes called the Daohugou Biota) comprises numerous, frequently spectacular fossils of non‐marine organisms, occurring in Middle‐Upper Jurassic strata in western Liaoning, northern Hebei, and southeastern Inner Mongolia.

A new neornithischian dinosaur from the Upper Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of northern China [PDF]

PeerJ
The Middle and Late Jurassic Yanliao Biota is different from other contemporaneous fossil assemblages in that it lacks neornithischian dinosaurs. Here, we report a new, early-diverging neornithischian, Pulaosaurus qinglong gen. et sp.

Jurassic scorpionflies (Mecoptera) with swollen first metatarsal segments suggesting sexual dimorphism [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Sexual dimorphism is widespread in insects. The certain specialized structures may be used as weapons in male–male combats or as ornaments to enhance mating opportunities.
