New insights into the Devonian sea spiders of the Hunsrück Slate (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida) [PeerJ]

Very pleased to share our latest @NHM_Science paper in @RSocPublishing on simulating the formation of trace fossils, with applications for the colonization of land by animals. Led by @ZekunWang3 with Neil Davies, @the_palaeoninja and @nichnos https://t.co/Ayap8smcTX

Excited to share our latest findings @NHM_Science! Using CFD-DEM, we modeled trace formation in various environments and identified subaerial morphological instabilities, frequency anlyses suggest mollusc-like pioneers from Cambrian ventured on land first! https://t.co/9D1szwMd3U

New insights into the mouthparts of a fearsome Cambrian predator https://t.co/dKWgQ7iU64 #PapersinPalaeontology @wileyearthspace

Incredible soft tissue preservation of a tadpole discovered in the Middle Jurassic of Patagonia 😍 #tadpole #fossil #patagonia https://t.co/cK8EPT6X93

New research from @Cambriannelids describes a new 450-million-year-old fossil arthropod fossil preserved in 3D by pyrite (fool’s gold)! Read more on our website! https://t.co/NkKYZ4mGjM

🚨New paper alert!🚨 Our paper describing a new genus and species of Jurassic cockroach, 𝐴𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑎 𝑠𝑖𝑚𝑚𝑠𝑖, has just been published (@ThePalAss)! A. simmsi possesses the earliest likely occurrence of aposematic (protective) colouration in cockroaches!🪳

11th of #Arachtober Interesting fact 🤓 female harvestmen have extendible ovipositors, which they use to accurately lay eggs into crevices. Please share some of your own interesting arachnid facts! 👇

そういえば、私の掌に全く収まらない大きさのアメンボがいたのですが、このサイズは海外だと普通なのでしょうか？飛翔力も凄まじく、この後私の手から飛び立ち、飛蝗のように10m以上も遠くへ飛んでいったほど。 人生で初めてアメンボを怖いと感じたほどのインパクトでした…

New paper out looking at the potential for ecosystem engineering lineages to cause faunal turnover (with reference to the E-C transition). Collab with @PalaeoTom, @Cambriannelids and the inimitable @RussellGarwood who did all the heavy lifting with TREvoSim.

Welcome Makrokylindrus itoi sp. nov., a new, beautifully preserved species of fossil comma shrimp (Cumacea) from the Plio-Pleistocene (~2.5 Ma) of Japan! 🦐🇯🇵 1/n #FossilFriday https://t.co/D8ur6UUXMh @Cambridge_Uni @CamZoology @yalepeabody @AMS_Micros #evolution #nature

#FossilFriday this week features beautiful specimens of the lobsters Palaeastacus sussexiensis and Glyphea willetti from the #Chalk, now in @NHM_London collections looked after by @Ecdysozoan

New morphological structures of Priapulus caudatus, Lamarck 1816 (Priapulida) and analysis of homologous characters across macroscopic priapulids https://t.co/Ug1uRLe8mj

For the first time, the presence of the respiratory mite Orthohalarachne attenuata is documented on the South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) on the Argentine mainland. Find out more here: https://t.co/4lO4PpWI1q #mammals #mites #parasites

This is fabulous work - always hoped this fossil might get a modern treatment!

Palaeo colleagues, would anyone be kind enough to consider translating my PalSoc monograph abstract? I have a Russian translation, but still need French and German. All I can offer you is my thanks in the acknowledgments I'm afraid!

If you visit @Museum_Cardiff check out the Evolution of Wales gallery and be sure not to miss Paradoxides, the largest trilobite found in the UK! #TrilobiteTuesday
