“…Dromopus is mostly recognized in Lower Permian deposits (Marchetti, 2016), whereas Rhynchosauroides is identified in the Upper Permian record (Valentini et al, 2007(Valentini et al, , 2009. Similar footprints from the late Permian of the Nigerian Moradi formation were attributed to Dromopus by Smith et al (2015) although further detailed studies are necessary for a confident ichnotaxonomy.…”

“…Remarks: The slightly wider than long footprints and their size, with pes larger than manus impressions and the stubby digits in increasing length from I to IV, are traits of Pachypes, a late Permian ichnogenus recorded from Italy (Valentini et al, 2009;Kustatscher et al, 2017), Morocco (Voigt et al, 2010), Niger (Smith et al, 2015) and possibly from Russia (Valentini et al, 2009; but see Gubin et al, 2003;Surkov et al, 2007;Voigt et al, 2010). Track preservations preclude a confident assignation, but all the previous characters suggest Pachypes (or a close related one) as the most favoured ichnotaxon for Morphotype II.…”

“…Based on data from the literature, the Bletterbach ichnoassemblage includes 10-13 ichnotaxa belonging to various groups of parareptiles (mostly pareiasaurs) and basal neodiapsids, followed by therapsids, archosauriforms and captorhinids. Pareiasaurs, documented by Pachypes dolomiticus (Leonardi et al, 1975;Valentini et al, 2009;Voigt et al, 2010;Smith et al, 2015), make up 38% of the faunal association. Carnivorous therapsids, documented by unnamed ichnotaxa, constitute 4% of the association.…”

Keywords:Tetrapoda flora phytoprovinces plant-insect interactions climate endemism latitudinal diversity gradient A B S T R A C TThe late Palaeozoic is a pivotal period for the evolution of terrestrial ecosystems. Generalised warming and aridification trends resulted in profound floral and faunal turnover as well as increased levels of endemism. The patchiness of well-preserved, late Permian terrestrial ecosystems, however, complicates attempts to reconstruct a coherent, global scenario. In this paper, we provide a new reconstruction of the Bletterbach Biota (Southern Alps, NE Italy), which constitutes a unique, low-latitude record of Lopingian life on land. We also integrate floral, faunal (from skeletal and footprint studies), and plant-insect interaction data, as well as global climatic interpretations, to compare the composition of the 14 best-known late Permian ecosystems. The results of this ecosystem-scale analysis provide evidence for a strong correlation between the distribution of the principal clades of tetrapod herbivores (dicynodonts, pareiasaurs, captorhinids), phytoprovinces and climatic latitudinal zonation. We show that terrestrial ecosystems were structured and provincialised at high taxonomic levels by climate regions, and that latitudinal distribution is a key predictor of ecosystem compositional affinity. A latitudinal diversity gradient characterised by decreasing richness towards higher latitudes is apparent: mid-to lowlatitude ecosystems had the greatest amount of high-level taxonomic diversity, whereas those from high latitudes were dominated by small numbers of higher taxa. The high diversities of tropical ecosystems stem from their inclusion of a mixture of late-occurring holdovers from the early Permian, early members of clades that come to prominence in the Triassic, and contemporary taxa that are also represented in higher latitude assemblages. A variety of evidence suggests that the Permian tropics acted as both a cradle (an area with high origination rates) and museum (an area with low extinction rates) for biodiversity.
