Excellent- More about The Ecology of Biotic Interactions in Echinoids: Modern Insights into Ancient Interactions
Echinoids provide a wealth of information regarding the role of biotic interactions as drivers of ecological and morphological adaptations over macroevolutionary timescales. Studies documenting interactions with echinoids and the resulting traces have become more numerous, and this review explores diversification and morphological trends in Meso-Cenozoic echinoid clades and associated predator and parasite groups.

Echinoids, those peculiar sea creatures, have a fascinating relationship with a wide range of organisms, leaving behind a diverse array of traces that often exhibit unique characteristics and can be preserved in the fossil record. These traces provide invaluable insights into the intricate web of biotic interactions that have shaped ecological and morphological adaptations over vast macroevolutionary timescales. The study of these interactions and the resulting traces has gained significant momentum in recent years, with numerous research studies documenting these interactions and their fossilized remnants. In this comprehensive Element, we delve into the ecologies of skeletal trace-producing interactions on echinoids in modern ecosystems and the recognition of these biogenic traces in the fossil record.
The authors embark on an exploration of diversification and morphological trends within Meso-Cenozoic echinoid clades and their associated predator and parasite groups, considering the selective pressures exerted by the evolution of these biotic interactions. Their objective is to stimulate further research endeavors that document the intensity of biotic interactions with echinoids in both recent and fossil assemblages, highlighting their potential to advance our understanding of ecosystem functioning and evolution.
This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core, ensuring widespread access to this valuable research for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
