Taphonomic experiments imply a possible link between the evolution of multicellularity and the fossilization potential of soft‐bodied organisms

Abstract The reliability of evolutionary reconstructions based on the fossil record critically depends on our knowledge of the factors affecting the fossilization of soft‐bodied organisms. Despite considerable research effort, these factors are still poorly understood. In order to elucidate the main...
