Abstract

replying to L. A. Muir & J. P. Botting Nature Ecology & Evolution https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-024-02559-6 (2024)

The Cabrières Biota (France) is a new diverse fossil assemblage that provides insights into Ordovician polar ecosystems¹. This assemblage comprises fossils of algae, sponges, cnidarians, trilobites, non-biomineralized arthropods, molluscs, brachiopods, hyoliths, hemichordates, worms and lobopodians¹, as well as trace fossils. Muir and Botting² question whether the site is a Lagerstätte by reinterpreting sponges, algae, hemichordates, worms and cnidarians as trace fossils. Here we show that their arguments do not follow an evidence-based approach and the specifics of their trace fossil claims do not engage with the standard protocols for distinguishing between trace and body fossils. We provide comprehensive evidence that the Cabrières Biota is a diverse and exceptionally preserved fossil Lagerstätte including algae and animals, representing a high-latitude refugium during the warm Early Ordovician.

回复 L. A. Muir & J. P. Botting Nature Ecology & Evolution https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-024-02559-6 (2024)卡布里埃生物群（法国）是一个新的多样化化石群，为奥陶纪极地生态系统提供了洞察力1。该化石群包括藻类化石、海绵化石、网水母化石、三叶虫化石、非生物矿物化节肢动物化石、软体动物化石、腕足动物化石、水螅化石、半脊虫化石、蠕虫化石、龙虾化石1 以及痕量化石。穆尔（Muir）和博廷（Botting）2 将海绵、藻类、半脊虫、蠕虫和刺胞动物重新解释为痕量化石，从而对该遗址是否是拉格斯塔特（Lagerstätte）提出质疑。在这里，我们要说明的是，他们的论点没有遵循以证据为基础的方法，而且他们的痕量化石主张的具体内容也不符合区分痕量化石和主体化石的标准规程。我们提供了全面的证据，证明卡布里埃生物群是一个包括藻类和动物在内的多样化且保存异常完好的化石群，代表了温暖的早奥陶世时期的高纬度温床。

期刊介绍： Nature Ecology & Evolution is interested in the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, encompassing approaches at the molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels, as well as relevant parts of the social sciences. Nature Ecology & Evolution provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in all aspects of life's diversity can come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. An online-only monthly journal, our broad scope ensures that the research published reaches the widest possible audience of scientists.
