STRESS—Highlights in Ammonite Research: Stratigraphy, Taphonomy, Resources, Ecology, Stable Isotopes, and Sedimentary Geology in Focus

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ammonoidea is one of the most important fossil groups to understand the geologic past: recent proceedings in ecology, biogeography, stratigraphy, paleoenvironment, climate, etc. cannot contribute efficiently to science without new, thought-provoking, or unusual approaches to Ammonoidea. Therefore, we gave an unusual title to this Topic: “Ammonoidea under STRESS”, where STRESS is an initialism derived from the initials of stratigraphy, taphonomy, resources, ecology, stable isotopes, and sedimentary geology.

We highly encourage you to contribute to this Topic with new data, ideas, information, theories, research, or experiments that are not in the mainstream of ammonite research, therefore providing an interesting, appealing Topic to collect the knowledge on the frontiers (or neglected fields) of ammonite science. Our aim is to focus on intriguing, debated, and antinomic theories, results, and data regarding ammonite research and new initiatives, whether it regards the lifespan of Ammonoidea (stratigraphy), their marks in the former environment (taphonomy), their needs, habitats, diet, evolution, and extinction (resources and ecology), or their usefulness in stable isotope studies and special relationships to sedimentary geological processes. We highly encourage you to consider publishing your original and thought-provoking results related to these aspects of Ammonoidea.

This Topic is organized into five sections:

• Section 1 Stratigraphy;
• Section 2 Taphonomy;
• Section 3 Resources and Ecology;
• Section 4 Stable Isotopes;
• Section 5 Sedimentary Geology.

This Topic aims to contribute to the understanding of the role, usefulness, applicability, processes, and interrelationships of a leading fossil group, the Ammonoidea.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
