Distinct causes underlie double-peaked trilobite morphological disparity in cephalic shape

Harriet B. Drage,
Stephen Pates

Abstract: Trilobite cephalic shape disparity varied through geological time and was integral to their ecological niche diversity, and so is widely used for taxonomic assignments. To fully appreciate trilobite cephalic evolution, we must understand how this disparity varies and the factors responsible. We explore trilobite cephalic disparity using a dataset of 983 cephalon outlines of c. 520 species, analysing the associations between cephalic morphometry and taxonomic assignment and geological Period. Elliptical Fourier… Show more
