  • New information on the morphology of Beurlenia araripensis is provided by Lima et al. (2025).[81]
  • Mychko (2025) describes fossil material of Palaeastacus aff. solitarius from the Tithonian strata from the Cheryomukha River Basin (Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia), extending known geographical range of Late Jurassic members of the genus Palaeastacus.[82]
  • A study on the distribution and diversity of members of the family Glypheidae throughout their evolutionary history is published by Damborenea et al. (2025).[83]
  • Worthy et al. (2025) identify fossil material (molar ridges of the mandible) of at least three taxa of parastacids from the Miocene Bannockburn Formation (New Zealand), providing evidence of greater diversity of parastacids in New Zealand in the Miocene compared to the present.[84]
  • Baucon et al. (2025) report the discovery of vertical burrows from a new Carnian site from the Travenanzes Formation (Italy), possibly representing the oldest fossil evidence of true crabs reported to date.[85]
  • Mychko, Schweitzer & Feldmann (2025) describe fossil material of Gastrosacus wetzleri and Goniodromites aliquantulus from Oxfordian reef limestones of the North Caucasus (Russia), expanding known geographical range of both taxa.[86]

(2025).[117]
  • Forel et al. (2025) study the composition of the Late Jurassic ostracod assemblages from the Sahune site (France), interpreting representatives of Pontocyprididae as members of deep-sea ostracod communities at least from the Oxfordian to the Early Cretaceous, and providing new information on the morphology of Procytherura? praecoquum.[118]
  • Lim (2025) studies the diversification dynamics of Cyprideidae through time, and interprets the fossil record of the group as indicating that the family underwent evolutionary radiation during the Jurassic-Cretaceous transition, regardless of possible taxonomic inflation of members of the group.[119]
  • Wang et al. (2025) revise the ostracod fauna from the Upper Cretaceous Liwaxia and Madongshan formations (China), correlate it with contemporaneous ostracod faunas from China and Mongolia, and assign the genus Liupanshania to the subfamily Cyproidinae in the family Notodromadidae.[120]
  • A study on routes and mechanisms of dispersal of non-marine ostracods belonging to the subfamily Talicyprideinae during the Campanian–Maastrichtian is published by Gobbo & Bertini (2025).[121]
  • Patarroyo et al. (2025) study two ostracod assemblages from the Maastrichtian strata of the Colón Formation (Colombia), and interpret the differences in their composition as resulting from an environmental shift during the latest Cretaceous.[122]
  • A study on the composition and biogeographical connections of ostracod assemblages from the Paleocene-Eocene sedimentary succession at Wadi Tarfa (Egypt) is published by Samir et al. (2025).[123]

Radiodont research

  • Evidence from the study of new fossil material of Caryosyntrips from the Cambrian strata of the Hongjiangshao Formation (China) and Spence Shale (Utah, United States), interpreted as indicating that characters used to diagnose species belonging to this genus might instead reflect variation within the same species, is presented by Yang et al.

Trilobite research

  • Evidence of impact of changes in marine redox on the evolution of body size of Cambrian and Ordovician trilobites is presented by Sun et al. (2025).[172]
  • Balseiro, Serra & Bignon (2025) identify extinction as the main driver of expansion and contraction of morphological diversity of trilobites from Cambrian to Devonian.[173]
  • Dai, Zhang & Peng (2025) present essentially complete post-embryonic growth series of Maotunia iddingsi on the basis of fossils from the Cambrian (Drumian) Zhangxia Formation (Shandong, China).[174]
  • A study on the phylogenetic relationships of cyclopygid trilobites is published by Braddy, Dale & Wang (2025).[175]
  • Gómez-Rodríguez, López-Pachón & Esteve (2025) argue that the body shape of raphiophorid trilobites prevented them from being moved from the seafloor by water currents, that the spine projecting from the anterior part of the glabella of these trilobites had no hydrodynamic function and that this spine was likely a sensory organ.[176]
  • Revision of the family Olenidae is published by Monti (2025).[177]
  • Crônier, Couette & Laffont (2025) compare the utility of 2D and 3D quantitative analyses for the studies of morphological diversity of phacopid trilobites.[178]

  • Nikolic, Warnock & Hopkins (2025) evaluate the utility of inclusion of both fossils with morphological data and ones only with taxonomic constraints and data on age but without morphological data in the analyses aiming to recover dated phylogeny of extinct taxa, testing their combined approach on trilobites from the group Aulacopleurida, and argue that a combined analysis outperforms analyses that only include taxa scored into a morphological matrix.[185]
  • Wright & Hopkins (2025) experiment with a morphological dataset of olenid trilobites to determine impact of assumptions about morphological evolution reflected in different character model configurations on phylogenetic analyses based on fossil data and on inferences about macroevolution derived from those analyses.[186]
