Abstract
Whether body size reduction (the Lilliput Effect) occurred in the Early Triassic invertebrates remains a matter of debate. Here, we investigate the size evolution of brachiopods spanning the Late Permian through the Early to Middle Triassic based on 3316 brachiopod specimens from South China. Our results show that the maximum and median size among species decreased dramatically from the latest Permian (Changhsingian) to the earliest Triassic...
