Orogeny and topography influenced Jurassic-Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystem evolution in northeastern Asia. [PDF]
Natl Sci RevTectonic processes are often invoked to explain ecosystem changes, but their precise effects remain elusive. This study focuses on Jurassic–Cretaceous Northeastern Asia, linking the flourishing of the globally exceptional Yanliao and Jehol Biotas, which ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 9, 16 May 2023., 2023 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.

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 2, March/April 2023., 2023 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.

Insect Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1483-1520, October 2022., 2022 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.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 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
Palaeontology, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 313-329, March 2020., 2020 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 ...

Two anurognathid pterosaur specimens from the Yanliao Biota and a new interpretation of anurognathid skulls [PDF]
古脊椎动物学报 (中英文版)Anurognathids are a clade of small, early-diverging non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs distributed across Eurasia from the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous.
