What’s so interesting about the Devonian? Modern Ecosystems

Rare top predators Few meso-predators Many herbivores Abundant top predators Abundant meso-predators Rare herbivores Detritivores

Carboniferous 359-299 Ma

SLIDE 27

The Carboniferous High temperatures High humidity High O2 Low CO2

Enourmous Lepidodendron forests Meganeura: 75 cm wingspan Pulmonoscopius [O2]atm = 35%

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Carboniferous swamps: Refugia for older plant forms Carboniferous drylands: Sites of evolutionary innovation i.e. seed-producing plants Pteridosperms

Open ‘Niches’

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Evolution of hard seeds suggests that herbivorous arthropods became a major selective factor on plants, even without a good fossil record of herbivorous arthropods (the first herbivorous vertebrate doesn’t show up until the early Permian: Diadectes)
