Exploring developmental modes in a fossil arthropod: growth and trunk segmentation of the trilobite Aulacopleura konincki.
Trilobites offer the opportunity to explore postembryonic development within the fossil record of arthropod evolution. In contrast to most trilobites, the Silurian proetid Aulacopleura konincki from the Czech Republic exhibits marked variation in the mature number of thoracic segments, with five morphs with 18-22 thoracic segments. The combination of abundant articulated specimens available fro...
متن کاملThe Trilobite: Enigma of Complexity
My goal in this presentation will be to explore the impact the discoveries of modern molecular biology have had on our understanding of the history of life on earth. I will demonstrate using a fundamental assumption of evolutionary theory, that we can know in exquisite detail, the molecular biology of one of the earliest form of metazoan life for which we have a consonant record, the Trilobite....
متن کاملTrilobite"pelotons": Possible hydrodynamic drag effects between leading and following trilobites in trilobite queues
Energy saving mechanisms in nature allow following organisms to expend less energy than leaders. Queues, or ordered rows of individuals, may form when organisms exploit the available energy saving mechanism while travelling at near-maximal sustainable metabolic capacities; compact clusters form when group members travel well below maximal sustainable metabolic capacities. The group size range, ...
متن کاملBasal euarthropod development: a fossil-based perspective
The morphological gap between Euarthropoda (the crown group that contains all extant arthropods) and living arthropod-like animals such as onychophorans, tardigrades and pentastomids is bridged by a number of fossils known primarily from rocks some to million years old (e.g. Fuxianhuia, Chengjiangocaris, Shankouia, see Figure .; cf. Waloszek et al. ). These centimetre-scale fossi...

to be collected (such as deaths, injuries, economic loss, people affected). Protocols (or ontologies) for hazard and impact definitions also are needed to ensure compatible loss attribution, particularly for complex events consisting of multiple hazard types. Furthermore, to foster trust, transparency and accountability, the information must be publicly available and curated by accepted bodies,...
