Fidelity of molluscan assemblages from the touro passo formation (pleistocene-holocene), southern brazil: taphonomy as a tool for discovering natural baselines for freshwater communities
(Sepm-soc Sedimentary Geology, 2011-07-01)
This study is the first assessment of mollusk fossil assemblages relative to the compositional fidelity of modern mollusk living and death assemblages. It also shows that the sedimentary record can provide information on ...

Intertidal Death Assemblages as Proxies of Marine Biodiversity: An Example from Northern Patagonia, Argentina
(Springer, 2019)
Marine conservation biologists have identified mollusks as one of the appropriate surrogate taxa for characterizing marine benthic diversity. In turn, live/dead comparison studies have overwhelmingly demonstrated that ...

On the benefits of being redundant: Low compositional fidelity of diatom death assemblages does not hamper the preservation of environmental gradients in shallow lakes
(Paleontological Society, 2015-03)
Comparisons between death assemblages and their source living communities are among the most common actualistic methods of evaluating the preservation of compositional and environmental information in fossil assemblages. ...
Taphonomic differences in molluscan shell preservation in freshwater environments from the southeastern Pampas, Argentina
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2014-12)
Actualistic studies in freshwater environments are scarce, limiting the interpretation of paleoenvironmental information obtained from the fossil record. The objectives of this study are to assess the taphonomic factors ...
The temporal resolution of epibiont assemblages: Are they ecological snapshots or overexposures?
(2006-05-01)
The effects of time averaging on the fossil record of soft-substrate marine faunas have been investigated in great detail, but the temporal resolution of epibiont assemblages has been inferred only from limited-duration ...
