Nosso bebê nasceu 🥹

Uma nova espécie de pterossauro do Araripe, encontrada dentro de um vômito fossilizado de dinossauro 🤍. A natureza é linda! Kkk

Seja bem-vindo, Bakiribu waridza!

Acesse o artigo: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Digital paleoart scene showing two pterosaurs with long, comb-like teeth standing in shallow water, using their jaws to filter food. Several similar pterosaurs fly in the background and a large theropod dinosaur resembling Irritator walks along the shore chasing them. The landscape is semi-arid with distant mountains under a cloudy sky.

Photographs and interpretative drawings of a fossil regurgitalite from the Romualdo Formation (Araripe Basin). Panels A and B show part and counterpart of an oval limestone concretion containing disarticulated and partially digested remains of pterosaur bones and fish. Panels C and D are line drawings highlighting bone clusters and digestive residue, illustrating the internal organization of the regurgitated mass.

Biological modeling is organized inquiry, but how should we think about the process?

My new paper in #EcologyLetters argues that we should model like experimentalists: define treatments, measure responses, validate, perturb, repeat.

Do you agree?
