淡水魚はエラを使ってNaの取り込みやアンモニアの排泄を行うことが知られています。陸上飼育が可能なポリプテルスで、エラが使えない陸上下でどう恒常性を維持しているのか調べたところ、主に腎臓でのENaCやアンモニア排泄に関わるチャネルの発現亢進により恒常性が維持されている可能性を示しました

The changing course of the Niger, like all rivers, is caused by river capture, a perennial landscape evolution process operating on all ice-fee continental surfaces.

A new study re-evaluating size of the legendary Liopleurodon ferox. This should have been highly-unusual macropredator. Just look at these teeth! Look at the scale. The smallest are the size of lion fangs, and the largest look like tusks.

Black swallower fish — swell dining in the deep!

During a recent ROV dive near Trinidad & Tobago, the #DeepWonders science team collected spectacular footage of a black swallower fish (Chiasmodon sp.) at a depth of 1259 meters.

Looks like a very useful R package for the analysis of morphological evolution on phylogenies:
"We introduce MorphSim, an R package for simulating discrete morphological characters specifically designed for total- evidence and tip- dated phylogenetic analyses..."

"oldest known fossil eukaryotes, approximately 1.75–1.4 billion years old... their near absence from otherwise fossiliferous anoxic samples suggests a benthic habit, as planktonic eukaryotes would be expected to be present in both oxic and anoxic samples"

🚨NEW STUDY DROP🚨

A Giant, Shantungosaur-sized Saurolophine hadrosaur is named Gongshuilong fanwei and described from a good bit of fossils indicating a brachylophosaur-type hadrosaur but with a huge sail along the tail!

🚨NEW STUDY DROP🚨

A new specimen of Sinopterus dongi is examined using Micro-XRF, SEM, FIB-SEM, EDS, ToF-SIMS. Melanosomes and their structures were observed, and they correlate to green to magenta iridescent coloration. Another huge step in paleo coloration!

This will impact also paleobiology in near future -- isotopic tools for the reconstruction of the properties of food webs.
