It's finally out! 200 years since the description of Eurypterus remipes, the first eurypterid named in the scientific literature, I present a summary of the history of eurypterid research and an updated taxonomy of every known species.🧪⚒️

you guys are being very cynical about this but the real explanation is that bears and Bigfoot are buddies. They like to hang out and do stuff together
Study finds bigfoot sightings correlate with black bear populations arstechnica.com?p=1997521
Study finds bigfoot sightings correlate with black bear populations
The big conclusion: "If bigfoot is there, it could be a bear."

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Probably one of the most exciting recent developments in Mesozoic paleontology is recognizing that at least a few important branches of modern life, such as dinosaurs & ants, likely originated in Gondwana (Southern Hemisphere). Now, let's find Early Cretaceous ant nests! 🧪🐜
A fossilised 113-million-year-old hell ant from Brazil adds to the evidence that the first ants evolved in the southern hemisphere before moving north – and beyond
Oldest ant fossil ever found shows how ants took over the world

bugs is shrimps
Shrimps is bugs? No, it’s kinda the other way around. Insects are technically crustaceans, which highlights the importance of systematics in understanding how evolution unfolds. My latest for @smithsonianmag.bsky.social.
You Might Think of Shrimp as Bugs of the Sea. But a Remarkable Discovery Shows the Opposite: Bugs Are Actually Shrimp of the Land
A recent study suggests that insects branched out from crustaceans on the tree of life

For #FossilFriday, meet Plesiosiro. This is a ~315 million year old weird arachnid, found near Birmingham in the UK. It's a lovely fossil but even so figuring out where it sits on the arachnid tree of life has been... annoyingly challenging. Nowadays, we are fairly confident that it...

Pareidolia fans, rejoice! After a long break I decided to revive my blog and wrote about Eusceptis effusa, a small noctuid moth from Ecuador with a spider-like pattern on its wings. A neat optical illusion! You can read about it here:
