Tempo and mode in the body size evolution of Cambrian-Ordovician trilobites

Caption

Fig.1: Tempo and mode in the body size evolution of Cambrian-Ordovician trilobites. Changes in maximum size (red) and mean size (blue) for each time slice, with lines and shading representing the mean value and 95% confidence intervals. Discrete episodes of body size change are marked by red arrows, and these events demarcate six distinct phases.
