[HTML][HTML] Late Permian (Lo**ian) terrestrial ecosystems: a global comparison with new data from the low-latitude Bletterbach Biota
The late Palaeozoic is a pivotal period for the evolution of terrestrial ecosystems.
Generalised warming and aridification trends resulted in profound floral and faunal turnover …

A review of the Guadalupian (middle Permian) global tetrapod fossil record
Until recently, the Guadalupian (middle Permian) tetrapod fossil record was known almost
exclusively from the Karoo Basin of South Africa and the Cis-Urals region of Russia, limiting …

The cranial morphology, phylogenetic position and biogeography of the upper Permian dicynodont Compsodon helmoedi van Hoepen (Therapsida, Anomodontia)
Compsodon helmoedi is an obscure dicynodont originally described based on a single
specimen from the upper Permian of the Karoo Basin. The discovery of three new …

A new tusked cistecephalid dicynodont (Therapsida, Anomodontia) from the upper Permian upper Madumabisa Mudstone formation, Luangwa Basin, Zambia
Cistecephalids are among the most distinctive Permian dicynodonts because of their highly
derived skulls and postcrania, which indicate a fossorial ecology. Four cistecephalid species …

A redescription of the Triassic kannemeyeriiform dicynodont Sangusaurus (Therapsida, Anomodontia), with an analysis of its feeding system
ABSTRACT The Triassic dicynodont Sangusaurus is poorly known because the holotype of
the first species to be described (S. edentatus from Zambia) is fragmentary, and the …

A basal nonmammaliaform cynodont from the Permian of Zambia and the origins of mammalian endocranial and postcranial anatomy
Nonmammaliaform cynodonts were a diverse group of Permo-Triassic synapsids whose
morphological evolution documented the beginning of many classic mammalian traits. Here …

A new approach to biostratigraphy in the Karoo retroarc foreland system: Utilising restricted-range palynomorphs and their first appearance datums for correlation
Abstract The main Karoo Basin (MKB), internationally renowned for its wealth of fossil
tetrapods, has been lithostratigraphically subdivided into three discrete regions: two (east …

Comparative ecological dynamics of Permian-Triassic communities from the Karoo, Luangwa, and Ruhuhu basins of southern Africa
ABSTRACT The Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME) was one of the transformative
events of the Phanerozoic, marked by extinction, post-Permian transformation of surviving …
