Tomorrow is October 5th, which means that my new @PrincetonUPress book #Dinopedia is out in the UK. A dinosaur book written for adults, and with an unashamed quantity of text on phylogeny, dinosaur diversity and evolutionary history. #dinosaurs #books
We comment on cranial scute homology of stem turtles. Whereas shell scutes are relatively well understood & intensely used for phylogeny, cranial scutes are more problematic. This work expands pioneering work of others, particularly Juliana Sterli (@yatachelys) 2/3
For #FossilFriday congratulation to our Master student @BoulinJordan who finished today (co-supervised with @LauraDziomber). A very nice work on the #3D morphology of the #ruminants and what we can say about it (phylogeny, ontogeny, allometry).

The largest ever #phylogeny, using both morphological and molecular markers, of Auchenipteridae, the driftwood catfishes, is out now in our November issue! https://t.co/ZezaxtKbAE
With all this new discussion about dinosaur phylogeny, it's important to remember that at least #dinosaurs are still a monophyletic group.
