Working on the impacts of the Grande Coupure on the paleoecology of European perissodactyls 🐎🦏
Avec Jérémy Tissier, on parle des premiers chevaux, de paléothères et de nos projets en cours au JURASSICA Muséum 🐎

Jurassica réécrit l’histoire du cheval - Canal Alpha
On pensait que le premier cheval, l’Eohippus, datait de 56 millions d’années. En réalité, il serait apparu entre 5 et 10 millions d’années plus tard.

Et joyeux #FossilFriday 🤮
#Communiqué 🗞️ Une équipe de chercheurs a identifié le plus ancien vomi fossile terrestre connu à ce jour. Daté d’environ 290 millions d’années (Permien inférieur), soit plusieurs dizaines de millions d’années avant l’apparition des dinosaures.

A recent study showed that horses appeared later (50 Mya) than what we previously thought (56 Mya) 🐎
Indeed, Hyracotherium (aka Eohippus - dawn horse) and Pliolophus are not horses nor even hippomorphs in this lattest phylogeny 🤯

Out now in Biology Letters, my latest paper tackles an apparently simple question: how many characters are needed to reconstruct a phylogeny? TL;DR: in most cases between 100 and 500, more than a substantial portion of morphological datasets, but the story is more complex... doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...
