Morphology and phylogenetic relationships of certain neoteleostean fishes from the Upper Cretaceous of Sendenhorst, Germany
The current study presents the morphology of Telepholis, Cheirotrix, Sardinioides, Tachynectes, Ichthyotringa, Omosoma, and Berycopsis. A new species of Berycopsis, B. paucoradius, is described. Data…
Pancrustacean phylogeny: hexapods are terrestrial crustaceans and maxillopods are not monophyletic
TLDR
A Bayesian statistical estimate of divergence times suggests a Precambrian origin for Pancrustacea (600 Myr ago or more), which precedes the first unambiguous arthropod fossils by over 60 Myr.
Middle Maastrichtian vertebrates (fishes, amphibians, dinosaurs and other reptiles, mammals) from Pajcha Pata (Bolivia). Biostratigraphic, palaeoecologic and palaeobiogeographic implications
The Pajcha Pata fossil locality in south central Bolivia, in the upper part of the Lower Member of the El Molino Formation, is the first late Cretaceous fauna in South America which has yielded, in…
Fossils and ferns in the resolution of land plant phylogeny
TLDR
These analyses are a first attempt, which includes extinct plants, to develop cladistic hypotheses for the overall topology of fern phylogeny and to lay the groundwork for more detailed analyses of relationships among the homosporous leptosporangiates.
Palaeoichthyofaunas from the Lower Oligocene and Miocene of the Arabian Plate: palaeoecological and palaeobiogeographical implications
Abstract The ichthyofaunas of Thaytiniti and Taqah (Lower Oligocene, Sultanate of Oman) and As-Sarrar (Burdigalian, Saudi Arabia) are studied with particular emphasis on palaeoenvironmental and…
Assembling the Tree of Life-Phylogeny of Spiders : a review of the strictly fossil spider families
TLDR
All previously described fossil spider families are reviewed, including Archaeometidae, as a first step to compiling the required palaeontological data for the AToL project.

    Arthropod structure & development
  • 2010
TLDR
Arachnids are known unequivocally from the Silurian (a putative Ordovician mite remains controversial), and the balance of evidence favours a common, terrestrial ancestor, of which the pantetrapulmonates (spiders and their relatives) are the most robust grouping.
The Cretaceous-Tertiary biotic transition
Mass extinctions are recognized through the study of fossil groups across event horizons, and from analyses of long-term trends in taxonomic richness and diversity. Both approaches have inherent…
Phylogenetic relationships and evolution of pulmonate gastropods (Mollusca): new insights from increased taxon sampling.
TLDR
Phylogenetic relationships among higher clades of pulmonate gastropods are reconstructed based on a data set including one nuclear marker and two mitochondrial markers for a total of 96 species, with a special emphasis on sampling the Ellobiidae, Onchidiidae, and Veronicellidae.
THE OLDEST-KNOWN METAZOAN PARASITE?
TLDR
The example reported herepredates the oldest of these previous records by approximately 35to 40 million years, and demonstrates that symbiosis involvingcomplex adaptations were already established soon after the ‘explosive’ radiation of marine metazoans in the early Cambrian.
