Possible poriferan body fossils in early Neoproterozoic microbial reefs
Nature, 2021 Molecular phylogeny indicates that metazoans (animals) emerged early in the Neoproterozoic era1, but physical evidence is lacking. The search for animal fossils from the Proterozoic eon is hampered by uncertainty about what physical characteristics to ...

Preserving Fossilized Soft Tissues: Advancing Proteomics and Unveiling the Evolutionary History of Cancer in Dinosaurs [PDF]
BiologyUnderstanding how life-history strategies influence cancer susceptibility in dinosaurs requires a molecular-level analysis of preserved soft tissues. While previous research has largely focused on skeletal remains, the discovery of soft tissue structures

A Total-Evidence Approach to Dating with Fossils, Applied to the Early Radiation of the Hymenoptera
Systematic Biology, 2012 Phylogenies are usually dated by calibrating interior nodes against the fossil record. This relies on indirect methods that, in the worst case, misrepresent the fossil information. Here, we contrast such node dating with an approach that includes fossils

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Molecular phylogenetic analyses have revealed a superclade of mesangiosperms with five extant lineages: monocots, eudicots, magnoliids, Ceratophyllum and Chloranthaceae. Both Ceratophyllum and Chloranthaceae are ancient lineages with a long fossil record;

Paleontological Heritage and its Conservation in the UNESCO European Geoparks. [PDF]
Geoconservation Research, 2021 Together, places of scientific, historical or cultural significance within a region and the artefacts uncovered therefrom and displayed in museums and collections make up the total heritage of the region in question. Seemingly lifeless places and objects

European UNESCO Geoparks: Introduction to Part II [PDF]
Geoconservation Research, 2021 The concept of the volume is to survey all the key geoparks throughout Europe in terms of their palaeontological significance. The second set of 36 articles in this Part cover the long span of geological time from the Triassic to the Quaternary, arranged

How Technology Has Thrown Us Out of Balance with Nature and Why We Need to Get Back In
Molecular Frontiers Journal, 2020 We have created a technology-based environment in an effort to control our world, but we need to understand that the biological forces that shaped us continue to play a role in our future. As more and more species go extinct because of human activity, we
