"This study presents empirical evidence elucidating the utilisation of reed beds by hazel dormice (Muscardinus avellanarius) during their summer activity phase. Historically characterised as an arboreal species confined to woodland and hedgerow habitats, the comprehensive assessment of this strictl...
"The fitness of groups is often considered to be the average fitness among constituent members. This assumption has been useful for developing models of multilevel selection, but its uncritical adoption has held back our understanding of how multilevel selection actually works in nature. If group f...
Hello young scientists! As of today you can apply again for the PaleoSynthesis PostDoc position. If you are enthusiastic about paleontology and open to new ideas, then apply and join our team. More info? Here's the job description.
"The plant macrofossil assemblage from a Rhaetian succession of a quarry near Einberg (Franconia, Germany), of which ferns, cycadophytes and ginkgophytes had been published earlier, comprises two conifer species (Schizolepidopsis liasokeuperianus and Stachyotaxus septentrionalis) that are unambiguo...
"Seasonal migration is an underappreciated driver of animal diversification. Changes in migratory behaviour may favour the establishment of sedentary founder populations and promote speciation if there is sufficient reproductive isolation between sedentary and migratory populations. From a systemat...

Today we are opening the next call to submit workshop proposals. Travel and accommodation again are fully funded and workshop groups should consist of up to 14 peers. Do you have a great idea? Share it with us and let us support you with a workshop. You'll find all necessary information here.
"Natural history museums house numerous previously undescribed species and unknown information hidden in their collections. We describe lower Carboniferous slit-bearing gastropods (order Pleurotomariida, subclass Vetigastropoda; and family Goniasmatidae, subclass Caenogastropoda) from previously un...
"Conifers of the order Voltziales were important components of Triassic floras. Their pollen is likewise abundant in microfloras from this period. Voltzialean pollen grains are known to have a considerable range of morphologies, but taxonomic distinctions based on these differences require thorough...
"Tridentinosaurus antiquus represents one of the oldest fossil reptiles and one of the very few skeletal specimens with evidence of soft tissue preservation from the Cisuralian (Early Permian) of the Italian Alps. The preservation and appearance of the fossil have puzzled palaeontologists for decad...
