Abstract Synopsis

  • The Cambrian apex predator, a large stemgroup euarthropod, is primarily adapted for hunting soft-bodied prey rather than hard-shelled organisms, revealing new insights about its feeding mechanics.
  • Advanced computational techniques, such as 3D modeling and finite-element analysis, indicate that while the predator's frontal appendages are effective for capturing prey quickly, they struggle to withstand the stress of chewing harder materials.
  • The findings highlight the agile predatory lifestyle of this organism and suggest a broader ecological role, influencing Cambrian food webs through niche partitioning among various predators and prey species.
