Towards a phylogeny of gastropod molluscs: an analysis using morphological characters
TL;DR: This is one of the first attempts to use Morphological and developmental characters to assess the relationships of all major clades using parsimony methods and discusses the major monophyletic groups within gastropods.

TL;DR: Of the changes observed in the marine ecosystem of the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region to date, alterations in winter sea ice dynamics are the most likely to have had a direct impact on the marine fauna, principally through shifts in the extent and timing of habitat for ice-associated biota.

Seafood through time; changes in biomass, energetics, and productivity in the marine ecosystem
TL;DR: The development of plant life on land and the impact of land vegetation on stimulating productivity in coastal marine settings, coupled with the transfer of organic material and nutrients from coastal regions to the open ocean, and the increase through time in diversity and abundance of oceanic phytoplankton all point to increased productivity in the oceans through the Phanerozoic.

The fossil record of predation: an overview of analytical methods
TL;DR: A survey of sampling protocols (data collecting strategy, sieve size, and sample size) and analytical approaches (predation intensity metrics, strategies for evaluating behavioral selectivity of predators, and taphonomic tests) reveals that various approaches can be fruitful depending on logistic circumstances and scientific goals of paleoecological projects as mentioned in this paper.
