A bonus for #MolluscMonday, the first fossil I spotted today in Singapore, a sectioned ammonite on a polished slab of German Jurassic Treuchtlingen Formation used to clad a wall in Changi Airport.

Glad to see our phoronid genome study featured on the cover of @currentbiology.bsky.social! It shows how genome structure can be used to test competing hypotheses of nested topology and how derived structural changes provide evidence for monophyly.

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.

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. The quantity and diversity of marine reptile and amphibian fossils show that these groups had already radiated into complex oceanic ecosystems by ~249 million years ago.

Team #NorDigBryo is currently having a workshop, and gingerbread baking has been a fun activity in the evenings. We definitely had to make some bryozoans!

Pleased to share our latest paper led by @tomlewin.bsky.social, now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We present the first chromosome-level genome of a phoronid and show that shared chromosomal fusions unite phoronids and bryozoans as sister groups.

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018.

Conrad Hal Waddington was born OTD in 1905.

His “epigenetic landscape” is a diagrammatic representation of the constraints influencing embryonic development.

On his 50th birthday, his colleagues gave him a pinball machine on the model of the epigenetic landscape.

Systematic utility of the phytosaur post-dentary mandibular region onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Artist's reconstructions of two phytosaur heads. At the top: Angistorhinus cf. talainti, with a fragmentary specimen of a previously unknown Portuguese phytosaur overlaid on lower jaw; in the centre, Nicrosaurus kapffi, also shown with superimposed fossil material. Both images were created by Adrián Blázquez Riola. At the bottom, a photograph of the fossil lower jaw of Mystriosuchus planirostris (specimen SMNS 91574, mirrored) in lateral view shown with landmarks (red dots) and semi-landmarks (blue dots) added. Scale bar for bottom image is 5 cm.

If you need a professional terrestrial phototroph you need a symbiont of plant+fungi. Lichen (Spongiophyton sp) colonized the land already at least in the Early Devonian:
