The small-bodied stem catarrhine Pliobates cataloniae (Pliopithecoidea: Crouzeliidae), from the Miocene (11. 6 Ma) of the Vallès-Penedès Basin (NE Iberian Peninsula), combines catarrhine symplesiomorphies and several crown hominoid-like features that are interpreted as convergent. [...]

Estimating diversity patterns from the fossil record is essential for understanding the factors that shape biodiversity. The Jurassic/ Cretaceous transition 143. 1 million years (Ma) ago is a particular interval of pronounced ecological turnover accompanied by a global sharp diversity decline, disproportionately affecting larger and more specialised terrestrial taxa such as Sauropoda. [...]

Revisiting the brain anatomy of the early Oligocene eutherian mammal Leptictis based on virtual endocasts

Bertrand, Ornella C. (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
Leptictidae are an extinct early Cenozoic group of mammals that has been challenging to place phylogenetically within Eutheria. They have been considered closely related to various crown placental groups such as Lipotyphla, Macroscelidea, or Euarchontoglires based on their “insectivore-grade” features, or as very early placentals or even non-placental eutherians because of their plesiomorphies.

Computational approaches are increasingly used to study the relationship between form and function in extinct and living organ isms. However, one major challenge remains: assumptions about bone material properties, especially when studying fossils. [...]

The Fossil Record of Crocodyliform Eggs, Eggshells, and Nests : A Deep-Time Synthesis and Evolutionary

Sellés, Albert (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
Crocodyliform eggs, eggshells, and nests provide essential data regarding reproductive biology, nesting behaviour, and ecological adaptations across deep time. Unlike skeletal remains, eggs and nests remain relatively scarce and have historically received limited attention in palaeobiological research. [...]
