‼️‼️Triassic Life just opened @smnstuttgart.bsky.social‼️‼️

For all #Triassic fans, lovers of strange reptiles and the Dawn of the Modern World, this is an absolute MUST!

It also couldn't be more timely with our recent publication @nature.com of the wonder reptile #Mirasaura, which is now on display!

This blurb leaves out the most significant finding: at least 193 species where the whole German fauna of Ceraphronoidea was only known to comprise 36 species. Entomologists consider Europe to be 'well-known'. But, even there, in the darker corners of insect diversity, countless new species lurk.
As part of the "German Barcode of Life" (#GBOL) project, the team collected 2,136 specimens of the previously little-researched superfamily Ceraphronoidea at 18 locations across Baden-Württemberg.

The full study was published in “Biodiversity Data Journal”.

A new article by our colleague Dr. Eudald Mujal Grané et al reports on tracks and trackways linked to gorgonopsid bones. The patterns show the animal had an upright posture, suggesting this was acquired early in therapsid evolution.
