New light on the paleobiogeography of the labyrinth fishes [PDF]
Research & Knowledge, 2017 The labyrinth fishes (Anabantoidei/Anabantiformes) have an African-Asian disjunctive distribution; however, their biogeographical history remains elusive due to the scarcity of their fossil records, especially for the Anabantidae itself, the only ...

First clear evidence of Anoplotherium (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) in the Iberian Peninsula: an update on the Iberian anoplotheriines. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Anoplotheriines (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) were enigmatic, medium‐ to large‐sized ungulates that lived in Western Europe from the late middle Eocene to the earliest Oligocene. The unusual dental and postcranial specializations of these Paleogene mammals have no equivalent in other Cenozoic or contemporaneous artiodactyls on Holarctic landmasses.
