And then there were none: decrease of origination and the decline of Conulariida

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Although the evolutionary history of conulariids has been widely studied, previous works have focused mostly on limited time intervals. In this paper, we examine the diversity dynamics of the group throughout its entire history, using various mathematical approaches.

Revisiting the choristodere and stem-lepidosaur specimens of the Guimarota Beds (Kimmeridgian, Portugal): taxonomic implications [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
The Guimarota beds (Kimmeridgian, Portugal) constitute one of the richest microvertebrate assemblages for the Upper Jurassic, which include a diverse fauna of small reptiles.

Comparing the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) with the present interglacial period (MIS 1) using a multidimensional functional diversity analysis: The marine molluscs from Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago, central Atlantic) as a case study

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 333-360, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine fossil records hold outstanding importance for ecological, evolutionary and biogeographical studies. Santa Maria Island in the Azores Archipelago (central Atlantic) features a remarkable marine fossil record spanning from the Pliocene to recent times.

Late Ordovician (Sandbian–Hirnantian) marine gastropods from the Argentine Precordillera: their biogeographical significance in a middle to high latitudinal setting [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Gastropods from the Upper Ordovician of the Argentine Precordillera received less attention than other coeval marine invertebrates in this region. The present contribution supplies accurate taxonomic information recovering 10 gastropod genera which are ...

Gondwanan Origin of Bark and Ambrosia Beetles and Their Rapid Worldwide Diversification During the Cretaceous

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim It is not trivial to estimate the relative contributions of dispersal, vicariance, and range contraction in explaining the present‐day distribution of ancient clades. In this study, we aim to infer the historical biogeography of bark and ambrosia beetles using a genus‐level time‐calibrated molecular phylogeny that encompasses 70% of all ...

Integrating Aegean Last Interglacial faunas into the Mediterranean palaeobiogeographic framework: New evidence from Karpathos (Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 80-98, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Last Interglacial (LIG) or Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, spanning 129 to 116 kyrs ago, is recognised as one of the warmest periods in the Quaternary, with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) 1°C–2°C higher than today, sea levels 5–10 m above the current level and biogeographical range expansion of specific tropical species into the ...

Freshwater amphibians and squamates from Villeveyrac (lower Campanian; Hérault, France): palaeodiversity, palaeoenvironment and implications for the Late Cretaceous palaeobiogeography of the European herpetofauna

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...
