Therapsids are early-diverging synapsids that thrived during the Permian and Triassic periods, and ultimately gave rise to mammals. They include six major groups, which already exhibited considerable ...
Harvard researchers reveal the earliest known Chelicerata in a new study published in Nature. The 500-million-year-old fossil, named Megachelicerax cousteaui, provides unequivocal evidence of chelicer...
Morphological data are essential for reconstructing evolutionary histories, particularly for fossil taxa, as they represent the primary source of information for integrating extinct lineages into ...
