Abstract Feathers are amongst the most complex epidermal structures known and they have a well-documented evolutionary trajectory across non-avian dinosaurs basal birds. Moreover, melanosome-like microbodies preserved in association with fossil plumage been used to reconstruct original colour, behaviour physiology. However, these putative ancient melanosomes might alternatively represent microorganismal residues, conflicting interpretation compounded by lack of unambiguous chemical data. We...
The holotype (MHM-K2) of the Eocene cheloniine Tasbacka danica is arguably one best preserved juvenile fossil sea turtles on record. Notwithstanding compactional flattening, specimen virtually intact, comprising a fully articulated skeleton exposed in dorsal view. MHM-K2 also preserves, with great fidelity, soft tissue traces visible as sharply delineated carbon film around bones and marginal scutes along edge carapace. Here we show that extraordinary preservation type T. goes beyond gross...
Abstract An isolated, yet virtually intact contour feather ( FUM ‐1980) from the lower Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark was analysed using multiple imaging and molecular techniques, including field emission gun scanning electron microscopy FEG ‐ SEM ), X‐ray absorption spectroscopy time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐ SIMS ). Additionally, synchrotron radiation tomographic SRXTM ) employed in order to produce a digital reconstruction fossil. Under , proximal, plumulaceous part...
Animal eyes typically possess specialized regions for guiding different behavioural tasks within their specific visual habitat. These specializations, and evolutionary changes to them, can be crucial understanding an animal's ecology. Here, we explore how the systems of some smallest flying insects, fungus gnats, have adapted types forest habitat over time (approx. 30 Myr today). Unravelling behavioural, environmental phylogenetic factors influence evolution specializations is difficult,...
Abstract Mosasaurs are an extinct group of secondarily adapted aquatic lizards that became the dominant marine tetrapods in Late Cretaceous oceans. They continuously shed and replaced their teeth order to maintain a functional dentition at all times; however, process tooth development mosasaurs is still incompletely known. Based on incremental line width measurements growth counts, we assess dentine formation rates three mosasaur taxa ( Dollosaurus , cf. Platecarpus Tylosaurus ) one genus...
Abstract Many insects use vision to inform their behavior, but visual information differs between habitats and the sensory demands vary with each species’ ecology. The small size of insects’ eyes constrains optical performance, so it is unsurprising that they have evolved specializations for optimizing obtain from habitat. Unraveling how behavioral, environmental, phylogenetic factors influence evolution such difficult, however, because existing techniques analyze insect require specimens be...
