Where traditional extinction estimates fall flat
“Today parasites comprise a huge proportion of living biodiversity and play a major role in shaping community structure. Given their ecological significance, parasite extinctions could result in massive cascading effects across ecosystems. It is therefore crucial that we have a way of estimating their extinction risk. Attempts to do this have often relied on information […]

fossilbrush: automated detection and resolution of anomalies
The time has come! Some time ago, FAU announced the “Open Research Challenge”. Now the winner The time has come! Some time ago, FAU announced the “Open Research Challenge”. 1. Fossil occurrence databases are indispensable resources to the palaeontological community, yet present unique data cleaning challenges. Many studies devote significant attention to cleaning fossil occurrence […]

Improving paleoenvironment in North China aided Triassic biotic recovery
“The driver of the Early–Middle Triassic biotic recovery on land following the end-Permian crisis is puzzling. Here, we show the biotic recovery was gradual and spanned up to 8 Myr after the end-Permian mass extinction, based on continuous, well-dated sections over large areas in the northeastern Ordos Basin, North China. Initial recovery began in the […]

A new horseshoe crab
“The end-Permian mass extinction led to the disappearance of >81% of marine species and the collapse of marine ecosystems. Despite the progress made in recent years, the severity of the impact of the mass extinction upon some groups still remains unclear. Horseshoe crabs are a typical example among these groups. Here we report a new fossil horseshoe crab, Guangyuanolimulus […]

A new exposure of the North Curry Sandstone Member
“There is renewed interest in a series of Carnian-aged sandstone units across the UK because they represent a unique event in the Late Triassic, the Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE), from 233 to 232 Ma. The North Curry Sandstone Member of the Mercia Mudstone Group in Somerset is of particular importance because it yielded a rich […]

Middle Anisian Ammonoidea from Rüdersdorf
“Bithynian and Pelsonian (Anisian, Middle Triassic) Ammonoidea are generally rare in the Germanic Basin. Here, we describe ammonoids from the Jena and Rüdersdorf formations (Lower Muschelkalk) of Rüdersdorf (Brandenburg, Germany). This locality is peculiar in its isolated situation and its comparatively high diversity in ammonoids. This outcrop yielded several assemblages encompassing eight species: Balatonites ottonis […]“Bithynian and Pelsonian (Anisian, Middle Triassic) Ammonoidea are generally rare in the Germanic Basin.
