Trilobite research[edit]
- Evidence indicating that a mechanism similar to the molecular activator/inhibitor mechanism present in vertebrates and known as the inhibitory cascade had controls on segment size development in trilobites is presented by Nikolic, Hopkins & Evans (2023).[178][179]
- A study on the timing of the appearance of trilobite planktic larvae is published Laibl, Saleh & Pérez-Peris (2023), who interpret their findings as indicating that Cambrian ecosystems were dominated by trilobites with exclusively benthic early post-embryonic stages, and that a progressive increase in the number of trilobite taxa that incorporated planktic stages in their development happened between the Miaolingian and the Middle Ordovician.[180]
- A study on the disparity of trilobite cephalic structures across Cambrian Series 2, providing evidence that the development of disparity of various cephalic structures was constrained in different ways, is published by Holmes (2023).[181]
- A study on the morphology and evolutionary relationships of Duyunaspis duyunensis, D. jianheensis and Balangia balangensis from the Cambrian Balang and Tsinghsutung formations (China) is published by Chen et al. (2023), who report evidence of gradual evolution indicative that Balangia was more likely to be an ancestor of Duyunaspis rather than its descendant.[182]
- Taxonomic revision of the species belonging to the genus Abadiella is published by Wang, Peng & Zhang (2023), who consider Parabadiella, Guangyuanaspis and Parabadiella (Danangouia) to be junior junior synonyms of Abadiella, and consider the species A. huoi and A. bourgini to have wide geographic distribution in Gondwana, making stratigraphical correlations between various Gondwana regions based on Cambrian trilobites possible.[183]
- A study on the morphology, ontogeny and systematics of Walcottaspis vanhornei is published by Srivastava & Hughes (2023).[184]
- Hou, Hughes & Hopkins (2023) report the presence of setae on the walking legs of the Cambrian Olenoides serratus and on the gill shaft of the Ordovician Triarthrus eatoni, and interpret these setae as likely used to groom the gills of the trilobites.[185]
- Evidence of the presence of countercurrent gaseous exchange mechanism in the gills of Triarthrus eatoni is presented by Hou et al. (2023).[186]
- A study on the taphonomy of the Ordovician trilobites from the Walcott–Rust quarry (New York, United States) is published by Losso, Thines & Ortega-Hernández (2023), who report evidence indicating that fine-grained sediment supported the preservation of delicate appendages and facilitated their fossilization.[187]
- A study on the morphology of the ventral part of the exoskeletons of trilobites from the Walcott–Rust quarry, providing evidence of adaptations facilitating complete enrolment convergent with those present in extant arthropods, is published by Losso et al. (2023).[188]
- Laibl et al. (2023) describe early developmental stages of at least nine trilobite species from the Fezouata Formation (Morocco), providing new information on the development of early Ordovician trilobites.[189]
- Schoenemann & Clarkson (2023) describe specimens of Aulacopleura koninckii and Cyclopyge sibilla preserved with structures interpreted as likely median eyes, and interpret this finding as indicating that early developmental stages of trilobites possessed median eyes (probably unlike adult specimens).[190]
- A study on the impact of changes of body shape and construction of Aulacopleura koninckii during its growth on changes of the style of its enrolment is published by Esteve & Hughes (2023), who find that the change in enrolment style happening at the onset of mature growth made it possible for A. koninckii to assume defensive posture regardless of the variation in the number of mature trunk segments of specimens belonging to the studied species.[191]

- New information on the anatomy of Kylinxia zhangi, indicating that its head was composed of six segments (as in extant mandibulates), is presented by O'Flynn et al. (2023), who interpret their findings as indicating that a six-segmented head was already present in the last common ancestor of Kylinxia and the euarthropod crown group.[214]
- Redescription of Isoxys curvirostratus, incorporating data from new fossil material from the Cambrian Chiungchussu Formation (China) and focusing on the biramous appendages of this arthropod, is published by Zhang et al. (2023), who report that the appendage differentiation in Isoxys was higher than previously considered, that the trunk of I. curvirostratus was not arthrodized, and that Isoxys was one of the earliest branching members of Deuteropoda.[215]
- A study on the ontogeny of Isoxys minor, based on data from specimens from the Cambrian Shuijingtuo formation (China), is published by Ma et al. (2023), who interpret the studied fossil material as indicative of only slight morphological differences between the specimens of I. minor which might have been caused by different environment, indicative of the presence of brood care in I. minor, and well as indicative of reproductive ability at the early life stages of this arthropod.[216]
- Pates & Zamora (2023) report the discovery of arthropod carapaces representing at least two taxa (including a tuzoiid) from the Cambrian (Drumian) Murero Formation (Spain), and interpret this finding as possibly indicating that Cambrian bivalved euarthropods living at higher latitudes were larger than those from low latitudes.[217]
- New fossil material of Acanthomeridion serratum, providing new information on the anatomy of members of this species, is described by Du et al. (2023), who interpret A. anacanthus as a junior synonym of A. serratum, and interpret dorsal cephalic sutures of trilobites as more likely to have multiple origins within Artiopoda rather than a single, deep origin.[218]
- Drage, Legg & Daley (2023) describe exuviae from a marrellid marrellomorph from the Ordovician Fezouata Formation (Morocco), providing evidence of moulting behaviour distinct from that described for Marrella splendens.[219]
- A study on the morphology of early developmental stages of marrellids from the Fezouata Formation is published by Laibl et al. (2023), who report that adults and immature individuals shares the same general appendage differentiation, and avoided direct competition for food resources only by feeding on particles of different size.[220]

General research[edit]
- New, diverse fossil material of radiodonts (including indeterminate hurdiids) and euarthropods (including Thelxiope cf. T. palaeothalassia, Perspicaris? dilatus, Branchiocaris pretiosa, Tuzoia retifera, T. guntheri, Dioxycaris argenta, bradoriids and a possible indeterminate species of Naraoia) is described from the Cambrian (Wuliuan) Spence Shale (Idaho and Utah, United States) by Kimmig et al. (2023).[224]
- Naimark, Sizov & Khubanov (2023) report the discovery of a new assemblage of Cambrian arthropods from the Kimiltei site (Irkutsk Oblast, Russia), including the first records of members of Euthycarcinoidea and Synziphosurina from the Siberian platform and the first Cambrian record of Chasmataspidida from this platform.[225]
- Braddy (2023) describes a resting trace of a phyllocarid crustacean from the Miaolingian Hickory Sandstone Member of the Riley Formation (Texas, United States), names a new ichnotaxon Minterichnus shieldi, and reinterprets the arthropod body fossil associated with the resting trace as a phyllocarid rather than the oldest known chasmataspidid.[226]
