After four days of BioDeepTime workshop in Erlangen all participants are very satisfied and happy that finally a face-to-face meeting was possible. There was a lot of discussion and planning and we hope that we will soon be able to present the first results.
"There have been 121 bryozoan species recorded from marine and freshwater ecosystems in Singapore.

It's exciting ... We finally have our first in-person workshop in Erlangen; still in hybride mode so those that cannot join themselves are able to attend via Zoom. So happy! Things will move forward a lot faster now with whole group meetings and discussions in smaller groups.
"Mosasauroidea, prominent marine lizards (Squamata, Toxicofera) of the final 30 million years of the Cretaceous, have been extensively studied for their morphology, ecology and systematics in the past two centuries. However, the relative roles of biological and physical processes as drivers of thei...
"Anurognathids are a clade of non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs with generally conservative morphology, but specializations as insectivores. They are represented by a disparate collection of adult and juvenile specimens that range in wingspan from ∼0.24–1 m. There have been concerns about the extent to...
"The naming of the Permian by Roderick Murchison in 1841 is well known. This is partly because he ‘completed’ the stratigraphic column at the system level, but also because of the exotic aspects of his extended fieldwork in remote parts of Russia and his reputed character. Here, we explore several ...

"Trilophosauridae are an extinct group of archosauromorphs from the Upper Triassic of western North America and Nova Scotia. Possible trilophosaurids Tricuspisaurus thomasi and Variodens inopinatus have also been reported from Upper Triassic fissure fills in the southwest of the United Kingdom, bas...
Scientific practices stemming from colonialism, whereby middle- and low-income countries supply data for high-income countries and the contributions of local expertise are devalued, are still prevalent today in the field of palaeontology. In response to these unjust practices, countries such as Mex...
