The Multiple Origins of Complex Multicellularity (2011, background): “Diverse organic-walled protists, including simple multicellular organisms, have been recorded widely in cherts and shales from this interval (Butterfield et al. 1994; Butterfield 2004, 2005a,b).”
Dating the molecular clock in fungi – how close are we? (2010, background): “Butterfield (2005) raised the provocative possibility that 900 Ma-year old Tappania sp. (Fig.”
Proterozoic phytoplankton and timing of Chlorophyte algae origins (2011, background): “Eukaryotic organisms existed prior to 1000 Ma as shown by body and molecular fossils (Javaux et al. 2004; Butterfield 2005; Javaux and Marshal 2006; Knoll et al. 2007).”
Early evolution of the Eukaryota (2015, background): “B, ‘Germinosphaera sp.’; part of a Tappania-like population (Butterfield 2005).”
Eukaryotic organisms in Proterozoic oceans (2006, methodology): “Well-preserved Grypania populations occur, as well, in Mesoproterozoic rocks fromChina (Walter et al. 1990), and Palaeoproterozoic (ca 1850 Myr) populations have been reported from Canada (Han & Runnegar 1992).”
Proterozoic photosynthesis – a critical review (2015, background): “Although fungus-like osmotrophy cannot be categorically ruled out as a mode of life (cf. Butterfield 2005), these fossils offer at least circumstantial evidence for the early appearance of photosynthetic eukaryotes.”
MACROEVOLUTION AND MACROECOLOGY THROUGH DEEP TIME (2007, background): “…may well be legitimate for early Palaeozoic forms, but this patently does not extend to the Proterozoic where major sectors of (eukaryotic) acritarch diversity are now recognized as benthic, vegetative, multicellular and non-protistan (Butterfield 1997, 2001a, 2004, 2005a, b; Knoll et al. 2006).”
The Proterozoic Record of Eukaryotes (2015, background): “Further taxonomic affinities are challenging to determine, though both algal and fungal affinities have been proposed (e.g., Butterfield 2005).”
Geomycology: biogeochemical transformations of rocks, minerals, metals and radionuclides by fungi, bioweathering and bioremediation. (2007, unknown): “The earliest fossil filamentous fungal remains appear to be from the mid- to late Precambrian (1430–1542 M years ago; Butterfield 2005), and they were extremely diverse by Devonian, times, when forms belonging to major groups and even some genera present today are found (Taylor & Osborn 1996;…”
