Abstract

We describe a previously unrecognised species of Popovia, here named Popovia johnrolandi n.sp. from the Miocene of Eastern Falcon state in Venezuela. The internal complexity of this new species increased through the Serravalian from Zone N10 to N14. This apparent trend towards increasing internal complexity reflects increasing entropy through time, and is here interpreted as an evolutionary adaptation to life within an oxygen minimum zone.
