Abstract The Jehol and Yanliao biotas of northern China, two world‐class Lagerstätten with abundant biomass and biodiversity, provide critical clues to Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems. Their evolution is a response to the destruction of the North China craton. However, the impetus for the rapid bloom of the biotas remains a mystery.

Abstract Current research suggests that the initial radiation of maniraptoran theropods occurred in the Middle Jurassic, although their fossil record is known almost exclusively from the Cretaceous. However, fossils of Jurassic maniraptorans are scarce, usually consisting solely of isolated teeth, and their identifications are often disputed.

The Early Cretaceous terrestrial revolution was manifested by global shifts from gymnosperm‐ to angiosperm‐dominated floras. However, responses of insect herbivores to these changes remain unexamined. We evaluated 2 176 plant specimens representing 62 species/morphotypes from the 126‐122 Ma Dawangzhangzi plant assemblage of Northeastern China.

Abstract The Middle‒Late Mesozoic massive volcanism formed a considerable thickness of volcanic‐sedimentary strata in western Liaoning, northern China. Concomitantly, it elevated phosphorus (P) availability for the rapid bloom of the terrestrial Yanliao and Jehol biotas, which developed highly abundant biodiversity and biomass.

Variable preservation potential and richness in the fossil record of vertebrates
Abstract Variation in preservation and sampling probability clouds our estimates of past biodiversity. The most extreme examples are Lagerstätten faunas and floras. Although such deposits provide a wealth of information and represent true richness better than other deposits, they can create misleading diversity peaks because of their species richness ...

First Turtle Remains from the Middle-Late Jurassic Yanliao Biota, NE China
The Middle-Late Jurassic Yanliao Biota, preceding the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota in NE China has yielded a rich collection of plant, invertebrate and vertebrate fossils. But contrary to the Jehol Biota which is rich in freshwater vertebrates, in

Two anurognathid pterosaur specimens from the Yanliao Biota and a new interpretation of anurognathid skulls [PDF]
Anurognathids are a clade of small, early-diverging non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs distributed across Eurasia from the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous.
