New spiders (Araneae: Palpimanoidea) from the Jurassic Yanliao Biota of China [PDF]
Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2019 Several new spider specimens, belonging to the superfamily Palpimanoidea, are described from the Middle–Upper Jurassic Haifanggou Formation (early assemblage of the Yanliao Biota) of Inner Mongolia, China. Two new genera and species, and a new species in the genus Sinaranea Selden, Huang & Ren, 2008, are described. Caestaranea jurassica gen. et sp.

New information on the Wukongopteridae (Pterosauria) revealed by a new specimen from the Jurassic of China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The Wukongopteridae is an important pterosaur group discovered from Yanliao Biota, because it combines character states seen in non-pterodactyloid and pterodactyloid pterosaurs.

A bony-crested Jurassic dinosaur with evidence of iridescent plumage highlights complexity in early paravian evolution [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 A number of paravian dinosaurs have been described from the Jurassic Yanliao biota, but these have tended to be morphologically similar to Archaeopteryx. Here, Hu. describe the new paravian dinosaur, Caihong juji gen. et sp. nov., which possesses a suite

Investigating the Morphogenesis and Replacement of Lamprey Toothlets Using Synchrotron Imaging. [PDF]
J MorpholToothlet replacement is a conserved feature in lampreys. We describe the mechanism at tissue level and quantify the determining factors, thus providing the basis for studies into a deep homology of cyclostome toothlets and gnathostome teeth. ABSTRACT Teeth are a key innovation that underpinned the adaptive radiation of jawed vertebrates; however, their

Earliest filter-feeding pterosaur from the Jurassic of China and ecological evolution of Pterodactyloidea [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Pterosaurs were a unique clade of flying reptiles that were contemporaries of dinosaurs in Mesozoic ecosystems. The Pterodactyloidea as the most species-diverse group of pterosaurs dominated the sky during Cretaceous time, but earlier phases of their ...

Tip dating supports novel resolutions of controversial relationships among early mammals. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2020 The estimation of the timing of major divergences in early mammal evolution is challenging due to conflicting interpretations of key fossil taxa. One contentious group is Haramiyida, the earliest members of which are from the Late Triassic.
