New linguliformean brachiopods from the lower Tremadocian (Ordovician) of the Brabant Massif, Belgium, with comments on contemporaneous faunas from the Stavelot-Venn Massif
Lower Ordovician brachiopod macrofaunas in Belgium (Avalonia) are seldom collected and studied due to the poor preservation of material. Here we describe a new fauna of linguliformean brachiopods from the Chevlipont Formation (lower Tremadocian) in the Brabant Massif. The fauna is of low diversity (at least three species belonging to...Candela, Yves ; Marion, Jean-Marc ; Servais, Thomas ; Wang, Wenhui ; Wolvers, Mark …

Phylogenetic relationships of leptellinid brachiopods
The relationships among the diverse genera comprising the family Leptellinidae (Brachiopoda) are reviewed in the light of the revised edition of the Treatise on Invertebrate Palaeontology. Taxonomic work reassessed all the genera identified as Leptellinidae in the most current classification. Four genera were discarded, namely Bekkerella, Benignites, Leptastichidia and Nikitinamena....Candela, Yves

Evolution of Laurentian brachiopod faunas during the Ordovician Phanerozoic sea level maximum
The distribution of brachiopod faunas around Laurentia during the Ordovician period was influenced by the dynamicity of the surrounding palaeo-continents. Laurentia seemed to have been somewhat static, straddling the palaeo-equator, whereas the late Ordovician was characterised by the later stages of the closure of the Iapetus Ocean, with Baltica, eastern...Candela, Yves

Comments on the proposed conservation of the specific name of Anathyris monstrum Khalfin, 1933 (currently Anathyrella monstrum; Brachiopoda, Athyridida)(Case 3632) 4
Alvarez & Modzalevskaya presented a detailed and thorough application, in which they clarified the issues arising from Khalfin’s original works (BZN 70: 185–189; Khalfin, 1933a, 1933b, 1946) and proposed clear resolutions.Candela, Yves
