We've decided to pause our posting on X indefinitely. Come find out more about what's going on at JSP over on Instagram and Bluesky! 📜🪨🌱🪼 instagram.com/journalsystpal/ bsky.app/profile/journa…

Happy New Year from everyone at JSP! 🥳 At the end of 2024, we published Mainero et al.'s article on lost diversity of fossil Killifish (specifically Valenciidae)🐟: buff.ly/3W6sElY The Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich Press Release: buff.ly/4gXP6pe

A preview of the innermost layer of my T. rex rig. More to share soon... 🦴🦴🦴

Published last week in our journal: Phylogenetic affinities and evolution of the Early Cambrian hexangulaconulariids 🪨 📃buff.ly/3CWAEzl

Published last week in our journal: Individual, ontogenetic, and phylogenetic variation in the dentition of hadrosaurids (Iguanodontia: Ornithischia) 🦷 🦖

Also published in October, this Gehyra corona foot in an article by Fred Kraus, Varpu Vahtera & Valter Weijola: 'A new insular species of Gehyra (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from Papua New Guinea closely related to Gehyra oceanica' 🦎👣

Last week we published Pyak & Yusupovsky's article 🌱'Molecular evidence of natural hybridization among Saussurea species (Asteraceae, Cardueae) with the description of two new taxa from the Altai Mountains' 🌼

As an international, peer-reviewed life science journal based at The Natural History Museum, London, our publications aim to document the diversity of living organisms through systematics papers that cover broad contexts and address topical issues in biological sciences.

Published earlier this month: 'The postcranial skeleton of Amphimoschus Bourgeois, 1873 (Cetartiodactyla, Ruminantia, Pecora) sheds light on its phylogeny and the evolution of the clade Cervoidea'

New paper @JournalSystPal led by @ES_UCL PhD student @palaeoburke, with @piginatutu, @Palaeo_Pittard & @heshamsallam, revising the Miocene north African gavialoid crocodylian 'Tomistoma' dowsoni as the new genus, Sutekhsuchus: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Recently published, Open Access🔓, in JSP: The anatomy and taxonomy of the North African Early Miocene crocodylian ‘Tomistoma’ dowsoni and the phylogenetic relationships of gavialoids doi.org/10.1080/147720…

Published this week at JSP: 'Cranial anatomy of Bagualia alba (Dinosauria, Eusauropoda) from the Early Jurassic of Patagonia and the implications for sauropod cranial evolution' doi.org/10.1080/147720…

@JournalSystPal Editoral meeting today was about moving the journal forward in several exciting ways :) Stay tuned for the details and keep the submissions coming
