Middle-Late Triassic insect radiation revealed by diverse fossils and isotopic ages from China
Science Advances, 2018 Chinese fossils reveal a Triassic insect radiation. The Triassic represented an important period that witnessed the diversification of marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

BioScience, 2018 Biologists would be mistaken if they relegated living fossils to paleontological inquiry or assumed that the concept is dead. It is now used to describe entities ranging from viruses to higher taxa, despite recent warnings of misleading inferences ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Accessibility is a key aspect for the presentation of research data. In palaeontology, new data is routinely obtained with computational techniques, such as finite-element analysis (FEA).

Comment on “Bilaterian Burrows and Grazing Behavior at >585 Million Years Ago” [PDF]
, 2013 Pecoits et al. (Reports, 29 June 2012, p. 1693) describe bilaterian trace fossils and assign them an Ediacaran age based on the age of a granite interpreted as intrusive.

Reconstructing the past: methods and techniques for the digital restoration of fossils
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 During fossilization, the remains of extinct organisms are subjected to taphonomic and diagenetic processes. As a result, fossils show a variety of preservational artefacts, which can range from small breaks and cracks, disarticulation and fragmentation,

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;

Bayesian total evidence dating reveals the recent crown radiation of penguins [PDF]
, 2016 The total-evidence approach to divergence-time dating uses molecular and morphological data from extant and fossil species to infer phylogenetic relationships, species divergence times, and macroevolutionary parameters in a single coherent framework ...

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

The Clicking Elateroidea from Chinese Mesozoic Deposits (Insecta, Coleoptera)
Insects, 2020 Recent molecular studies have suggested that the clicking beetle families Elateridae, Eucnemidae, Throscidae, and Cerophytidae evolved in the Jurassic and diversified in the Cretaceous.
