• Probable Proterozoic fungi (2005, background): “…Roper Group (Javaux et al. 2001) nearly triples the known age range of multicellular eukaryotic predators (cf. Bengtson and Zhao 1992; Hua et al. 2003); notably, it would also preclude predation, per se, as the proximal cause of the Cambrian explosion (cf. Stanley 1973; Butterfield…”
• Predation in the marine fossil record: Studies, data, recognition, environmental factors, and behavior (2019, background): “4, all prey), except for holes in Ediacaran Cloudina (Bengtson and Zhao, 1992; Brain, 2001; Hua et al., 2003) and in Tonian microorganisms (Porter, 2016).”
• THE EDIACARA BIOTA: Neoproterozoic Origin of Animals and Their Ecosystems (2005, background): “Cloudina tubes in the Dengying Formation of China show evidence that they were drilled by predatory organisms (Bengtson & Yue 1992, Hua et al. 2003)—the oldest evidence of macrophagous predation anywhere and a foreshadowing of the Phanerozoic world of tooth and claw that was about to unfold.”
