PLOS ONE: Evolution of Anolis Lizard Dewlap Diversity - 2 views

  •  
    The dewlaps of Anolis lizards provide a classic example of a complex signaling system whose function and evolution is poorly understood. Dewlaps are flaps of skin beneath the chin that are extended and combined with head and body movements for visual signals and displays. They exhibit extensive morphological variation and are one of two cladistic features uniting anoles, yet little is known regarding their function and evolution.

PLOS ONE: Anthracobunids from the Middle Eocene of India and Pakistan Are Stem Perissod... - 0 views

  •  
    Anthracobunidae is an Eocene family of large mammals from south Asia that is commonly considered to be part of the radiation that gave rise to elephants (proboscideans) and sea cows (sirenians). We describe a new collection of anthracobunid fossils from Middle Eocene rocks of Indo-Pakistan that more than doubles the number of known anthracobunid fossils and challenges their putative relationships, instead implying that they are stem perissodactyls.

Tree of Life Web Project - 0 views

  •  
    The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world. On more than 10,000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about biodiversity, the characteristics of different groups of organisms, and their evolutionary history (phylogeny).

Ancient fossil may rewrite fish family tree | Science/AAAS | News - 0 views

  •  
    When it comes to charting the tree of life, the most important difference between humans and sharks isn't limbs versus fins or even lungs versus gills. It all comes down to our skeletons. Sharks' skeletons are made of cartilage, placing them along with rays and skates in a group of jawed vertebrates called cartilaginous fish. Humans-along with most other living vertebrates-belong to the same group as bony fish, whose skeletons are made of bone. Scientists knew that these groups diverged more than 420 million years ago, but what the last common ancestor looked like remained a mystery. Now, new discoveries inside the head of a small fossil fish from Siberia may provide some clues.
