General research

  • Exceptionally preserved specimens of Chuandianella ovata carrying a large number of small eggs are described from the Cambrian Chengjiang biota (China) by Ou et al. (2020), who compare the reproductive strategies of C. ovata and closely related Waptia fieldensis.[95]
  • Sun, Zeng & Zhao (2020) report the discovery of a member of the genus Sidneyia belonging or related to the species S. inexpectans from the Wuliuan Mantou Formation of North China, expanding known distribution of this genus.[96]
  • A putative xiphosuran Kiaeria is reinterpreted as a member of Chasmataspidida by Lamsdell (2020a).[97]
  • A study on the anatomy of head structures of Heterocrania rhyniensis, evaluating its implications for the knowledge of the phylogenetic relationships of euthycarcinoids, is published by Edgecombe et al. (2020).[98]
  • A study on heterochrony in Xiphosura, showing that clades that occupy non-marine environments show elevated rates of peramorphosis or paedomorphosis is published by Lamsdell (2020b). [99]
  • A study aiming to determine the range of prey sizes that could be captured by sweep-feeding eurypterids is published by Hughes & Lamsdell (2020).[100]
  • A study on the anatomy and phylogenetic relationships of Anhelkocephalon handlirschi is published by Schädel & Haug (2020), who interpret this taxon as a probable member of Cyclida rather than an isopod.[101]
  • Liu et al. (2020) report evidence of the presence of a three-dimensionally preserved labrum associated with the mouth opening in juvenile specimens of Leanchoilia illecebrosa.[102]
