#Dinosaurs from the Santonian–Campanian Atlantic coastline substantiate phylogenetic signatures of vicariance in Cretaceous North America: https://t.co/i2QEGUSO9o #RSOS #OpenAccess #palaeontology #FossilFriday
Haven’t been able to read the Phiomicetus paper yet, but I’m happy to see it actually includes a phylogenetic analysis.
Although… one of those silhouettes looks a little familiar…

Morphological evolution in North American martens mirrored environmental changes associated with glacial cycles. @PantheraLeigha @rfelice and @dorcatherium used phylogenetic comparative methods at an intraspecific level in this new study:

Want to know where your teeth come from? Sharks can't tell you; they're doing their own weird thing. Analysis in a phylogenetic context shows that their conveyor belt teeth are pretty specialized. 🎨 by @MesozoicMuse #FossilFriday #SciNews https://t.co/L0RCm5Wo9P
Other fish visible in this drawing are a gar (Obaichthys africanus) and a polypterid. Of the polypterid all we have are two jaw fragments, and one of those isn't even from the Kem Kem. Phylogenetic bracketing is a paleontologist's best friend.

Although my main focus is on birds and bird-like dinosaurs, I also have a soft spot for rodents, of all things. 🐭🐹 Here's a rodent phylogenetic tree I drew to help myself (and others) understand rodent diversity: https://t.co/Q1OxoVBIqd #SciArtTweetStorm #SciArt
A study of the #morphological changes through time of 3 Pupilla land #snails, tracked using molecular #phylogenetic inferences & morphological investigations, helps to improve our understanding of #evolutionary adaptation.

I hope that the data contained herein will be a useful springboard for future phylogenetic and paleobiological studies of early-diverging ornithischians.
My rat thing got just slightly out of hand. These animals are only united by their common name ending with ’rat’ - phylogenetically, they sit on diverse branches of the rodent family tree.
We introduce the last publication of our research group

Geckotober Bonus - Phylogenetic Tree
Ever wonder how all of these geckos are related? Here’s a family tree of all 31 species (from 23 genera) that I drew for Geckotober! Tag yourself I’m the common flat-tail gecko because I too am filled with the desire to scream.
Today’s #Stemcroctober is Nundasuchus songeaensis Nesbitt et al. 2014 a pseudosuchian from the Manda Beds of Tanzania. The phylogenetic position is poorly constrained, but largely because it lacks characters of the ‘classic’ pseudosuchian clades #Croctober #AtoZCrocs
