Research

• A study on the phylogenetic relationships of the Eocene tick Ixodes succineus is published by Dunlop et al. (2016).

Trilobites

Research

• Queues of the trilobite Trimerocephalus chopini are described from the Devonian (Famennian) of Poland by Błażejowski et al. (2016), who interpret these queues as representing mass migratory chains.
• Disarticulated exoskeletons of the phacopids belonging to the species Omegops cornelius preserved within a nautiloid conch are described from the Devonian Hongguleleng Formation (China) by Zong, Fan & Gong (2016), who interpret the fossils as indicating that the trilobites had moulted within the living chamber of a dead nautiloid.
