All set up for our symposium on biotic interchanges at #Evol2024. If you like historical biogeography and its evolutionary implications, do not miss out. There will be contributions from paleontologists, biogeographers and macroevolution researchers Tomorrow Tues. 30 July at 9:30

We're thrilled to announce the upcoming CPEG & Conservation Paleobiology Symposium! Join us in person or virtually at the University of Zurich🇨🇭 in the summer of 2025. First circular here: cpeg-cpb25.uzh.ch

¡La riqueza geológica y paleontológica de nuestro país 🇨🇴hoy vuelve a ser noticia en el mundo! 🌍 ✅ La Unión Internacional de Ciencias Geológicas (IUGS por sus siglas en inglés), órgano asesor de la UNESCO, anunció que el yacimiento paleontológico del Mioceno Medio de La Venta,

Excelente noticia. Una razón más para visitar el Desierto de La Tatacoa y el Museo de Historia Natural de la Tatacoa

¡Buenas noticias! La Venta, en el "desierto" de La Tatacoa, fue elegida como un nuevo sitio Patrimonio Geológico del Mundo. Allí hay una preservación excepcional de fósiles de animales y plantas que nos han ayudado a entender nuestro pasado.👉🔗trib.al/qvf5BDJ

In 1834, the Beagle dropped anchor off of Patagonia. Charles Darwin went ashore and encountered big fossilized bones of a weird mammal unknown in Europe. It was a litoptern. And here Hans Püschel presents their family tree, from his School of GeoSciences @ University of Edinburgh PhD! academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/art…

If you’re to attend #GSA2024 & are interested in paleo, #macroevolution & quantitive methods to estimate diversity dynamics in time & space, consider joining our course on Sat 21st Sep: “Decoding the past: Deep Learning for Macroevolutionary Analysis” 💻🦖⚒️

The Zurich 2024 time trials are in full swing but how did this landscape along the wonderful Lake Zurich and the rolling hills around the city come about? Let's turn to Geology and look back in time.

New research on the Global Impacts of Bird Extinctions 🌍🦜🦤 "The global loss of avian functional and phylogenetic diversity from anthropogenic extinctions" led by Tom Mathews and published in Science Magazine. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… A summary of our findings below 🧵(1/9)

👏👏👏El Espectador , the main newspaper in Colombia, opens today with a timely call to stop the loss of biodiversity, amplifying Indigenous voices of people from the Amazon. Btw, the beautiful illustrations were made by these Indigenous peoples. #COP16

New paper lead by Oscar Wilson (Oscar Wilson) on a funky tooth I stumbled across during our 2017 expedition to the Peruvian Amazonia. So nice to see "Kong" finally published :) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our new paper about new dental remains of Megadolodus from Peru is out now in Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Thank you to Literally Miguel 🇻🇪💥🔫 for the fantastic reconstruction and to everyone else who worked on this! Aldo Benites-Palomino Juan David Carrillo and many others not on here

Guilherme Hermanson & I have a new paper today 🐢🤩🐢: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… We think the morphologically conservative body plan of turtles can in part be explained by allometric constraints imposed by the shell. See my thread on the 🦋-app, or also Guilherme's summary here 👇
