The ‘buchanosteid’ placoderms are best known from the Early Devonian of Australia, but also occur in China, Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East. Here we rediagnose the type species Buchanosteus confertituberculatus (Hills 1936) from the type locality at Buchan, Victoria, in the light of new material of both head and trunk shields.

Increasing morphological disparity and decreasing optimality for jaw speed and strength during the radiation of jawed vertebrates [PDF]
The Siluro-Devonian adaptive radiation of jawed vertebrates, which underpins almost all living vertebrate biodiversity, is characterized by the evolutionary innovation of the lower jaw.

Studying the present, understanding the past [PDF]
Actuopaleontology is an essential discipline to understand the fossil record. It uses the present as a key to understand the past. Actualistic paleontology has been largely used in a vast array of paleontological fields such as ichnology, paleoart or ...

The morphology ofYujiangolepis liujingensis(Placodermi, Arthrodira) from the Pragian of Guangxi (south China) and its phylogenetic significance [PDF]
The morphology of the arthrodire placoderm Yujiangolepis liujingensis Wang, Pan & Wang, 1998, from the Lower Devonian of Guangxi is redescribed, and compared to that of the basal arthrodires Antarctaspis White, 1968 from Antarctica, Toombalepis Young & Goujet, 2003 and Wuttagoonaspis Ritchie, 1973 from Australia, and Yiminaspis Dupret, 2008 from south ...

V.—Notes on some Upper Devonian Arthrodira from Ohio, U.S.A., in the British Museum (Natural History) [PDF]
Some years ago the British Museum acquired from Dr. William Clark a collection of the remarkable Arthrodira found by him in the Upper Devonian shales of Ohio. In this material there are several specimens which were described as new before being brought to Europe, but concerning which there has been more or less doubt among students of the Arthrodira ...

Trait-based diversification shifts reflect differential extinction among fossil taxa [PDF]
Evolution provides many cases of apparent shifts in diversification associated with particular anatomical traits. Three general models connect these patterns to anatomical evolution: (i) elevated net extinction of taxa bearing particular traits, (ii ...
