New in @science.org ...since our first discoveries of early tetrapods, they have been thought of as "amphibians" characterized by aquatic larvae. But is this true? For the first time, we report exceptional fossils of stem tetrapod babies that upend this paradigm. 1/n

Modern amphibians are characterized by an aquatic larval stage that ends abruptly with a period of widespread tissue remodeling (metamorphosis) upon transition to terrestrial adulthood. A transient la...

Genuine rewrite the textbooks discovery! 🧪🦑
The same team led last year's discovery of even deeper chemosynthetic animal communities. And they are in a crewed submersible, so they actually SAW THE WHALE GRAVEYARD!!! Can't wait for them to keep exploring!

Check out our new paper comparing node calibrations and unresolved FBD for dating molecular phylogenies using crocs and firefly datasets as case studies 🐊
Esse merece uma tradução para o português! Afinal, tem importância para a conservação das espécies do bioma menos protegido do Brasil: o Pampa!

We compared the climbing abilities and kinematics of different species of salamanders. Surprisingly, all could climb well but climbing specialists do better. Let me tell why this is interesting (see thread)!

Very glad that our new #GRAVIBONE paper led by C. Etienne is out. It describes microanatomical adaptations in the forelimb long bones in rhinos (with high resolution scans of these large bones) & notably introduces our new approach for trabecular bone mapping. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Walking on your knuckles is a weird way to get around, but it's normal for chimps & gorillas. Recently, Thompson & co showed that, while the hand posture is odd, the muscle contractions required are quite similar to a monkey's, which walk on their palms
