This paper describes the central nervous system of a trilobite, providing morphological evidence supporting its placement within the mandibulate stem lineage and insights into the evolution of the euarthropod central complex.

This study examines injuries in Olenoides serratus trilobites from the Burgess Shale, showing increased genal spine malformations linked to moulting complications.

The paper calculates the surface area of lamellae in trilobite exopodites and finds it increases exponentially with body size, supporting their function as respiratory structures.

This study uses 3D modeling to evaluate the planktonic lifestyle of the Silurian trilobite Deiphon by analyzing its morphology and buoyancy.

The paper examines the evolution of dorsal ecdysial sutures in trilobites and their relatives, finding that their origin is ambiguous and may be either ancestral or convergent.

This study identifies ventral exoskeletal adaptations in trilobites that enable enrollment, showing convergent mechanisms with extant euarthropods.
