New data on Kimberella, the Vendian mollusc-like organism (White Sea region, Russia): palaeoecological and evolutionary implications (2007, background): “The Late Precambrian Kimberella quadrata Glaessner & Wade, 1966 was originally described from the late Precambrian Pound Quartzite of Ediacara Hills, South Australia.”
Ecological drivers of the Ediacaran-Cambrian diversification of Metazoa (2012, unknown): “The origins and early diversification of most major clades of marine animals occurred during a great period of evolutionary innovation between about 635 and 510 Ma (Bengtson 2005; Chen 2009; Erwin 2005; Erwin et al. submitted; Erwin and Valentine 2012; Knoll and Carroll 1999).”
Remarkable insights into the paleoecology of the Avalonian Ediacaran macrobiota (2015, unknown): “…between bedding planes result from a combination of factors, likely including primary factors such as the grain size of the casting medium (Gehling et al., 2005; Liu et al., 2012) and the thickness of smothering sediment (Narbonne and Gehling, 2003; Laflamme et al., 2007), as well as…”
Poriferan paraphyly and its implications for Precambrian palaeobiology (2007, background): “Most arguments against a sponge affinity have focused on the sclerites (Bengtson 2005; Randall et al. 2005), and because there are clear differences between the spicules of chancelloriids and sponges, most authors agree that the two are not homologous.”
