Something a bit different this #fossilfriday:
The field of conservation #paleobiology researches historic remnants like antlers, shells, teeth and pollen to learn how natural communities worked before humans entered the community. The findings help inform conservation efforts.

Parasitic Relationships: Trapped in time
Analysis of specimens preserved in amber from the Cretaceous period suggests that nematodes changed their host preference towards insects with a complete metamorphosis more recently.

Morphological disparity of early #ammonoids: A geometric #morphometric approach to investigate conch geometry of Early–Middle Devonian ammonoids of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas by analysing the shape of their whorl profile:
http://dx.doi.org/10.4202/app.01033.2022
Study highlights that the increase in #disparity began earlier than the increase in #diversity, but found no evidence for an early burst of #shape diversity (i.e., the rise does not exceed expectations given diversity).

Parasite-induced shell damage in brachiopod Porambonites (Porambonites) laticaudata from the Late #Ordovician (Sandbian) of #Estonia
https://doi.org/10.3176/earth.2023.23
The pits in the shell margin are most likely caused by the presence of symbionts which benefitted from inhalant currents and caused damage to the host #brachiopod. This is consistent with #parasitism rather than previously know damage linked with failed attacks by durophagous #predators.

Exceptions to the temperature–size rule: no Lilliput Effect in end-Permian ostracods from Aras Valley (NW Iran)
Body size changes of ostracods in the Aras Valley section are evaluated in response to the drastic warming during the end-Permian mass extinction at three taxonomic levels: class, order, species. Individual species to instars do not show dwarfing similar to some experimental studies.
