The rise of feathered dinosaurs: Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus, the oldest dinosaur with 'feather-like' structures. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Diverse epidermal appendages including grouped filaments closely resembling primitive feathers in non-avian theropods, are associated with skeletal elements in the primitive ornithischian dinosaur Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus from the Kulinda locality in ...

Elaborate plumage patterning in a Cretaceous bird. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Integumentary patterns and colors can differentiate species, sexes, and life changes and can inform on habitat and ecology. However, they are rarely preserved in the fossil record. Here, we report on an extremely well-preserved specimen of the Cretaceous

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 9, 16 May 2023., 2023 Abstract The Jehol and Yanliao biotas of northern China, two world‐class Lagerstätten with abundant biomass and biodiversity, provide critical clues to Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems. Their evolution is a response to the destruction of the North China craton. However, the impetus for the rapid bloom of the biotas remains a mystery.

Insect Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1483-1520, October 2022., 2022 The Early Cretaceous terrestrial revolution was manifested by global shifts from gymnosperm‐ to angiosperm‐dominated floras. However, responses of insect herbivores to these changes remain unexamined. We evaluated 2 176 plant specimens representing 62 species/morphotypes from the 126‐122 Ma Dawangzhangzi plant assemblage of Northeastern China.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 Abstract The Middle‒Late Mesozoic massive volcanism formed a considerable thickness of volcanic‐sedimentary strata in western Liaoning, northern China. Concomitantly, it elevated phosphorus (P) availability for the rapid bloom of the terrestrial Yanliao and Jehol biotas, which developed highly abundant biodiversity and biomass.

Systematics, biomechanics and ecology of mammals of the Kilmaluag Formation (Jurassic) of Scotland [PDF]
, 2020 The Middle Jurassic was a pivotal time in the macroevolution of mammals. The earliest mammaliaform branches flourished alongside non-mammalian cynodonts (tritylodontids) and the first crown group mammals. Recent fossil material from China suggests not
