Abstract
It remains unclear how radiolarian lineages adapted to the changing environments through the Guadalupian–Lopingian boundary (G-LB) interval. In this study, a well-preserved radiolarian fauna was obtained from silty cherts and siltstones deposited throughout the G-LB of the Sanpaoling, Yutouling, and Xiaqianling sections, located in Qinzhou City, Guangxi, China. Two genera of Albaillellaria, including ten species of and two species/morphotypes, are presented in this study. This assemblage is correlated with the Interval Zone. Based on the material obtained near the G-LB, the taxonomic value of pores on the test of species is here evaluated. This research documents a relatively significant morphological variation of the Albaillellarian lineages and an evolutionary reversal in through the G-LB. Based on the combination of the faunal and evolutionary response in the studied area, we suggest that the G-LB witnessed rapidly changing environmental conditions, imposing adaptive pressure on radiolarians, at least on the deep-dwelling Albaillellarians.
期刊介绍:
Palaeoworld is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to the study of past life and its environment. We encourage submission of original manuscripts on all aspects of palaeontology and stratigraphy, comparisons of regional and global data in time and space, and results generated by interdisciplinary investigations in related fields. Some issues will be devoted entirely to a special theme whereas others will be composed of contributed articles. Palaeoworld is dedicated to serving a broad spectrum of geoscientists and palaeobiologists as well as serving as a resource for students in fields as diverse as palaeobiology, evolutionary biology, taxonomy and phylogeny, geobiology, historical geology, and palaeoenvironment.
Palaeoworld publishes original articles in the following areas:
•Phylogeny and taxonomic studies of all fossil groups
•Biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy
•Palaeoecology, palaeoenvironment and global changes throughout Earth history
•Tempo and mode of biological evolution
•Biological events in Earth history (e.g., extinctions, radiations)
•Ecosystem evolution
•Geobiology and molecular palaeobiology
•Palaeontological and stratigraphic methods
•Interdisciplinary studies focusing on fossils and strata
