A model for niche differentiation in Lower Mississippian crinoid communities

Crinoid niche differentiation is examined within Lower Mississippian epifaunal suspension-feeding communities to suggest that niches were established and maintained by diffuse interspecific competition.
The “Age of Crinoids”: A Mississippian Biodiversity Spike Coincident with Widespread Carbonate Ramps
Abstract Crinoids reached their highest generic richness and overall abundance during the Mississippian, which thus has been dubbed the Age of Crinoids. The causes are hypothesized to be from the…

The topology from well-resolved trees of this early crinoid radiation indicates that the Crinoidea should be subdivided into six subclasses, and a new subclass and new order, Aethocrinea and Aethocrinida, are proposed for crinoids with four circlets of plates in the aboral cup.

It is shown that the end-Devonian Hangenberg event was a natural experiment in which vertebrate predators were both removed and added to an otherwise stable prey fauna, revealing specific and persistent trophic interactions and suggesting major crinoid evolutionary phenomena might be linked to vertebrate predation.

Biotic Interactions among Recent and among Fossil Crinoids

The evolutionary history of biotic interactions of crinoids provides evidence that predation and competition have played significant roles in crinoid evolution.
Oral Region Homologies in Paleozoic Crinoids and Other Plesiomorphic Pentaradial Echinoderms

Newly recognized oral region homologies are presented, based on the Universal Elemental Homology model for skeletal plates, in a wide range of fossil taxa for exploring branching order among stem groups on the echinoderm tree of life.
