Taxa within diverse lineages select and transport exogenous materials for the purposes of
camouflage. This adaptive behavior also occurs in insects, most famously in green lacewing …

Many modern paleobiological analyses are conducted at the generic level, a practice
predicated on the validity of genera as meaningful proxies for species. Uncritical application …

An epicontinental sea bisected West Africa periodically from the Late Cretaceous to the early
Eocene, in dramatic contrast to the current Sahara Desert that dominates the same region …

We present a critical evaluation of the taxonomy, stratigraphy and biogeography of the
turritellid gastropods of the Miocene Paratethys Sea. 159 species-level names and 6 …

Detailed facies and sequence stratigraphic analysis of an Aptian shallow-marine succession
illustrates the evolution of sedimentary environments and their benthic faunal associations in …

The constraint of temperature evolution in coastal environments is an important factor in
deciphering the Earth's global climatic history. In this study, we reconstruct the evolution of …

Chandipur intertidal flat in eastern coast of India is a killing field. The vast stretch of intertidal
habitat opens up during the low tide, and is monopolized by a single naticid species which …

Turritelline-dominated assemblages (TDAs) frequently occur in the middle-late Miocene
Gatun Formation, and are not uncommon features in the broader fossil record. By gaining a …

Predictions for climate vulnerability of ectotherms have focused on performance-enhancing
physiology, even though an organism's energetic state can also be balanced by lowering …

ABSTRACT The Otuma depositional sequence (East Pisco Basin, southern Peru) comprises
late Eocene basal molluskbearing sandstones and overlying silty sandstones with pelagic …
