Journal ArticleDOI
The Ordovician Biodiversification: revolution in the oceanic trophic chain
Thomas Servais,Oliver Lehnert,Jun Li,Gary L. Mullins,Axel Munnecke,Alexander Nützel,Marco Vecoli +6 more
TL;DR: The early Palaeozoic phytoplankton (acritarch) radiation paralleled a long-term increase in sea level between the Early Cambrian and the Late Ordovician as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Devonian nekton revolution
Christian Klug,Björn Kröger,Wolfgang Kiessling,Gary L. Mullins,Thomas Servais,Jiří Frýda,Dieter Korn,Susan Turner +7 more
TL;DR: Klug et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the timing of the occupation of the water column in the Palaeozoic and test the hypothesis that ecological escalation led to fundamental evolutionary changes in the mid-Palaeo-Phanerozoic marine water column.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns of organic-walled phytoplankton biodiversity during the late silurian to earliest devonian
TL;DR: For example, during the Late Silurian (Gorstian, Ludfordian, and Přidoli) and early Devonian (Lochkovian) stages, important paleogeographic, paleoceanographic, and geochemical changes were occurring as well as major compositional changes and diversity fluctuations in the marine organic-walled phytoplankton.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diversity of the Carboniferous phytoplankton
Gary L. Mullins,Thomas Servais +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a synthesis of the published literature on in situ Carboniferous acritarchs, prasinophyte algae and associated microfossils, and reveal a trend of declining acritarch diversity from the Tournaisian to the Visean, and generally very low diversity in the latest Early-Carbiniferous Serpukhovian and Late-Carboniferous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitinozoan biostratigraphy of the basal Wenlock Series (Silurian) Global Stratotype Section and Point
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the Margachitina margaritana biozone in the uppermost Llandovery and lowermost Wenlock series of the Hughley Brook section.
