Age of Neoproterozoic bilatarian body and trace fossils, White Sea, Russia: implications for metazoan evolution.
A uranium-lead zircon age for a volcanic ash interstratified with fossil-bearing, shallow marine siliciclastic rocks in the Zimnie Gory section of the White Sea region indicates that a diverse assemblage of body and trace fossils occurred before 555.3 +/- 0.3 million years ago. This age is a minimum for the oldest well-documented triploblastic bilaterian Kimberella. It also makes co-occurring t...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Positive Selection and Habitat-Driven Evolution in a Shallow and a Deep-Sea Urchin
Comparisons of genomic sequence between divergent species can provide insight into the action of natural selection across many distinct classes of proteins. Here, we examine the extent of positive selection as a function of tissue-specific and stage-specific gene expression in two closely-related sea urchins, the shallow-water Strongylocentrotus purpuratus and the deep-sea Allocentrotus fragili...
متن کاملBehavioral biology of trace fossils
—The potential of the ichnofossil record for exploring the evolution of behavior has never been fully realized. Some of this is due to the nature of the trace fossil record itself. Equally responsible is the separation of ichnology from the relevant areas of modern behavioral biology. The two disciplines have virtually no concepts, methods, or literature in common. The study of animal behavior ...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny, biogeography, and habitat preference evolution of marsupials.
Marsupials exhibit great diversity in ecology and morphology. However, compared with their sister group, the placental mammals, our understanding of many aspects of marsupial evolution remains limited. We use 101 mitochondrial genomes and data from 26 nuclear loci to reconstruct a dated phylogeny including 97% of extant genera and 58% of modern marsupial species. This tree allows us to analyze ...
متن کاملDispersal and colonisation processes at deep-sea vents
Organisms living in the hydrothermal environment are subject to great instability on various spatial and temporal scales (Haymon et al., 1993; Hessler et al., 1988; Lalou, 1991). Catastrophic and chaotic extinctions in populations (Tunnicliffe et al., 1990) forces vent animals to disperse continuously and colonise new active sites (Shank et al., 1998; Tunnicliffe et al., 1997). Population genet...
