for the majority of groups, climatic zonality
was the main factor determining
the distribution of brachiopods at the
beginning of the Phanerozoic. The main
ecological types of brachiopods also appeared
in the Early Cambrian.

腕 足 类 目 级 以 上 分 类 系 统 = Supraordinal
brachiopod classification. ( 英 文 ).
Afanasjeva G A. Paleontological Journal,
2008, 42(8): 792-802
Three controversial problems of
brachiopod supraordinal classification
are discussed: the position of brachiopods
in the classification of Metazoa,
their classification at phylum and class
level, and the classification of the articulate
brachiopods. The position of
brachiopods in the system of Metazoa
remains uncertain. There are no strong
reasons for changing the traditional division
of the phylum Brachiopoda into the
classes Inarticulata and Articulata. The
class Articulata is divided into the subclasses
Orthata, Strophomenata, Spiriferata,
and Terebratulata.

phylogenetic studies of brachiopods. ( 英

Journal, 2008, 42(8): 803-804
The main techniques used in phylogenetic
studies of brachiopods are reviewed,
onto-phylogenetic and morphobiological.
The advantages and shortcomings
of each method are discussed.

brachiopods of the order Terebratulida.

The patterns of ontophylogenetic
change of the brachidium in Late Paleozoic,
Mesozoic, and Cenozoic terebratulids
are analyzed. The work of Russian
specialists in establishing new evolutionary
trends and working out terebratulid
taxonomy on the basis of ontophylogenetic
studies is discussed.

腕 足 类 戟 贝 目 形 态 生 物 学 研 究 = Morphobiological
study of the brachiopods
of the Order Chonetida. ( 英 文 ). Afanasjeva
G A. Paleontological Journal, 2008,
42(8): 825-829 6 图 版 .
A comparative morphological study
of the brachiopods of the order Chonetida
revealed a key part of the development
of the shell structures connected
with the feeding and respiration organs,
such as the lophophore, musculature,
and mantle, in the morphological evolution
of the group. The general trends revealed
in the development are adaptive
and were restored based on morphofunctional
analysis. Against the background
of these trends, the correlative changes
of the shell shape and its external ornamentation
led to the repeated appearance
of homeomorphs, whose similarity cannot
be explained by adaptation. The phylogeny
of the superfamily Anoplioidea is
described as an example.

of the recent brachiopods. ( 英 文 ).
Zezina O N. Paleontological Journal,
2008, 42(8): 830-858 12 图 版 .
The vertical, latitudinal, and circumcontinental
zonality of the distribution of
the species, genera, and families of recent
brachiopods is considered. The distortions
of the latitudinal and meridional
symmetry of the biogeographic structure
of the ocean are analyzed in view of the
patterns of the global circulation of the
surface and intermediate waters. Thus
ancient faunas may be reconstructed
based on data on the structural characteristics
of the taxocene of recent
brachiopods. The features of the paedomorphic
evolution of brachiopods from
