The size structure of phytoplankton assemblages strongly influences energy transfer through the food web and carbon cycling in the ocean. We determined the macroevolutionary trajectory in the median ...

Ecological interactions, such as predation and bioturbation, are thought to be fundamental determinants of macroevolutionary trends. A data set containing global occurrences of Phanerozoic fossils of ...

The Cretaceous Period witnessed a remarkable diversification of marine reptiles, among which plesiosaurs featured prominently. These secondarily aquatic reptiles adapted to a range of ecological ...
