Resolving the “ontogeny problem” in vertebrate paleontology, recently published in Paleobiology, by @jgn-paleo.bsky.social - this is a *must read*, esp. for those in the archosaur realm www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

What I like to call the "ontogeny recaputulates phylogeny" fallacy of book recommending
Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.
When people ask how to get into GA SF I always say that the right way is via some of those fat "Best Of" short fiction collections

Ontogeny decapitates phylogeny, as they used to say
All discourse about Bluesky will generate discourse about Bluesky that both refutes and proves the discourse about Bluesky.

New paper by @davehone.bsky.social and myself in @peerj.bsky.social - A giant specimen of Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and comments on the ontogeny of rhamphorhynchines - is published!

A giant specimen of Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and comments on the ontogeny of rhamphorhynchines
Rhamphorhynchus is one of the best-known pterosaurs, with well over 100 specimens being held in public collections. Most of these represent juvenile animals, and the adults known are typically around ...

Very happy to share our new study defining the ontogeny of Thetis cells and the developmental cues that shape their early-life wave of differentiation. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Beautiful work led by @hhmi-science.bsky.social Gilliam Fellow Yoselin Paucar Iza and postdoc Tyler Park 1/

[eminem in “without me” voice] this looks like ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny

Finally got a publication date from @peerj.bsky.social. Rhamphorhynchus ontogeny + redescription of R. 'longiceps' with @davehone.bsky.social dropping January 2.

Nanotyrannus may live, but the tyrannosaur ontogeny debate will never die.

Dreamt that Dan Chure - a great scientist who I like a lot - had published a paper on Triceratops ontogeny. It had a pun in the title and trashed the 'extreme ontogeny' model.

The second rule of horse club is that ontogeny does not recapitulate phylogeny.

Drone evolution will recapitulate the entire flora and fauna ontogeny before its all over

It's amazing how the Cambrian fossil record can overturn our understanding on the disparity, ontogeny and evolution of key groups!

New paper presenting rather compelling evidence that the stem-vertebrate Haikouichthys had paired lateral and supranumerary medial eyes (!!!), and proposing that the medial eyes may have deep homology with the pineal and parapineal organs.

Early vertebrates, particularly myllokunmingids, possessed four camera-type eyes (a pair of lateral eyes and pineal and parapineal organs), which indicates that these structures functio...
