Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology of Paleozoic terrestrial arthropods: the fossil evidence
TL;DR: It is postulated that herbivory, defined as predation on living plants, may have been rare in early Paleozoic terrestrial ecosystems, and that most primary productivity of terrestrial arthropods was diverted into higher trophic levels.

Oribatid mite fossils from a terrestrial Devonian deposit near Gilboa, New York
TL;DR: Protochthonius gilboa n. gen. and sp. is the earliest derivative known member of the Enarthronota, and comprises the monobasic new family Protochthoniidae as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular evidence for the gnathobasic derivation of arthropod mandibles and for the appendicular origin of the labrum and other structures
TL;DR: This study shows that, in addition to their use in phylogenetic and population genetic studies, molecular markers can be very useful for inferring the origins of a particular morphological feature.
