Hoy @argomezcano.bsky.social @hdezfdez.bsky.social y yo publicamos en @elpais.com sobre Elisabeth Vrba, la paleobióloga revolucionaria, que falleció el pasado mes de febrero #paleontología #evolución elpais.com/ciencia/2025...

Excellent article in the Spanish newspaper @elpais about Elisabeth Vrba's legacy. @nilese.bsky.social @andrejpaleo.bsky.social @blaividiella.bsky.social

Critical role of fossils: "notion that insect pollination began with the origin of angiosperms is still widespread... insect orders with extant and/or extinct pollinator representatives radiated long before the evolution of flowering plants." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... 🧪 #Paleobio ⚒️

Is cranial anatomy indicative of fossoriality? A case study of Hadrocodium wui suggests this Jurassic mammaliaform may have been semi-fossorial, resembling semi-aquatic moles more than fully fossorial ones. Skull ≠ digging. Tumelty & Lautenschlager: https://buff.ly/3CwUgtN #FossilFriday

First week back to teaching in 2025 and for our palaeo seminar we have Prof Christine Janis telling us about her research into giant kangaroos and whether or not they could hop!

📣 Come work with us! Three year Research Associate position to work as part of Leverhulme Trust funded project collecting and studying amazing Jurassic mammal fossils from the Isle of Skye. PhD not necessary; CT segmentation skills essential. Contact me for details: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLK473/r...

New paper with @tsengzj.bsky.social and @hlusko.bsky.social! We investigated the adaptive landscape of skeletal form & function in carnivorans and tested how trade-offs among skeletal regions contribute to adaptations & landscape topology. @sicbjournals.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/iob/obaf001

Tahlia Pollock @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social has an amazing new study integrating 3D shape, biomechanics, and optimality modelling, helps explain why so many mammals evolve sabre teeth: functional optimality was a key driver behind the repeated evolution of extreme sabre-tooth morphologies.

Resignation of the Journal of Human Evolution Editorial Board: We are saddened to announce the resignations of The Joint Editors-in-Chief, all Emeritus Editors retired or active in the field, and all but one Associate Editor. Press release below.

Hi, BlueSky! We're here for the party, and we brought a NEW dinosaur with us. Meet Apex. Discovered in 2022 near Dinosaur, Colorado, this Stegosaurus is the largest ever found, measuring 11 ft (3.4 m) tall & 27 feet (8.2 m) long. You can see it at the Museum starting on Sunday, December 8! 🦴

The most expensive dinosaur fossil ever sold at auction, a stegosaurus that the billionaire Kenneth Griffin bought for $44.6 million, has a new home: the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
