Look what my amazing colleagues did! Early Triassic bonebed at Svalbard shows recovery after mass extinction🥳 @aubronectes.bsky.social
An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago.

Veldig fin tekst om evolusjon av vinger og flyving av vår student Aylin Gjøringbø i siste nummer av Biolog🤩 @feikosaur.bsky.social / Talented student Aylin Gjøringbø in our group just published a great essay about the evolution of fight (in Norwegian).

Jeg fikk diskutere Jurassic World Rebirth i siste utgave av @forskerforum.bsky.social. Det er bra for all biologisk forskning at folk liker dinosaurer, og så lenge man husker at det ikke er en dokumentar kan man slippe å bli surmaga. Men: marine reptiler er ikke dinosaurer, såpass forventer jeg 🐬🦖🦕

Again Norway tops a not so nice list, of nature and farmland consumption per capita for construction and "development". But all countries in Europe are on a slippery slope to piece by piece nature destruction. There is an urgent need to stop this nature crisis.

Next year in Cape Town! At @ipc7.bsky.social my colleague Judith Pardo-Pérez and I organize a dedicated ichthyosaur symposium. Based on responses so far, it will feature many interesting topics and speakers. Get in touch if you want to contribute!
IPC7 will held 29 themed symposia + 1 open symposium.
Today we feature:
✨Ichthyosaur evolution and biology✨
📩 To participate in this symposium, contact the conveners:

"Growth series", with foetus, of two very distinct ichthyosaurs from the Triassic! Very glad to have participated to this cool study! Thanks again Lene!
Ichthyosaurs were fully pelagic five million years after the End Permian Mass Extinction - and we have fetal vertebrae from two Early Triassic taxa. That is the main findings in our @natureportfolio.nature.com Scientific Reports paper published just now🥳 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
