There have been lots of advances in palaeornithology over the last few years. In this invited review (thanks @Tweetisaurus and @NHMdinolab) we discuss recent discoveries bearing on the origin of the bird brain, shoulder, palate, and air-filled skeleton. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

#SundayMood 💫 🤔Did you know? The stunning Jorunna rubescens gets its reddish-pink hue from sponges it eats! These sponges also help it camouflage & deter predators. 🎥 withgraham 🌊 ioc.unesco.org/en

Just finished some fantastic fieldwork in Fiji with Victor Bonito at Reef Explorer Fiji. We have started out a long-term project looking at soft corals on the reef flats mapping out multiple plots from four different sites to see how their ecological dynamics change through time.

New paper out today led by @SMughal315! We revisit the famous 790-million-year-old Svanbergfjellet Formation for @GeolSoc's Lagerstätten Series. Open access at: lyellcollection.org/doi/full/10.11… @royalsociety | @UniofOxford | @morethanadodo | @OxUniEarthSci

For the first #TrilobiteTuesday of 2025, here’s a model of Paradoxides elegans I just 3D printed. Probably not the most accurate biological model, but it’s great as an educational tool. And it’s fun. 😃 thingiverse.com/thing:6822312

🦐Instantaneous burial capturing animals alive may not be prerequisite for exceptional marine animal preservation and fossilization. @tapho_zoan @AnomLab Read more here: nature.com/articles/s4324…

NEW: In a stunning find, researchers from Oxford University and @unibirmingham have uncovered a huge expanse of quarry floor filled with hundreds of different dinosaur footprints, creating multiple enormous trackways.
