Department of Herpetology) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
The limbless skink Ophiomorus punctatissimus is a cryptozoic species found in the Peloponnese region of Greece and on the Greek island Kythira. To provide the first thorough description of the cranial and postcranial osteology of this species, both disarticulated specimens and X-ray computed tomographies of wet-preserved specimens were examined in detail.

We here describe a small turtle assemblage originating from the early Tortonian (late Miocene) palaeoisland of Scontrone, central Italy, a locality previously known mostly for its endemic mammals and giant birds, which were otherwise shared only with the Gargano localities, another fossiliferous area belonging to the same palaeobioprovince.

Olduvai Gorge (northern Tanzania) is one of the best known and most iconic palaeontological and archaeological sites in the world. In more than a century of research it has yielded an impressive record of fossils and stone tools which stands as a compendium of human evolution in the context of environmental changes of East Africa in the last 2 Ma.

16 p, 4.1 MB A Messinian (latest Miocene) occurrence for Albanerpeton Estes & Hoffstetter, 1976 (Lissamphibia: Albanerpetontidae) at Moncucco Torinese, Piedmont Basin, northwestern Italy, and a review of the European Cenozoic record for albanerpetontids / Gardner, James D. (Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology (Canada)) ; Villa, Andrea (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Colombero, Simone (Università degli Studi di Torino. Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra) ; Venczel, Márton (Ţării Crişurilor Museum (Romania)) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
Albanerpetontids are an extinct clade of superficially salamander-like lissamphibians that range from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian)-Early Pleistocene and have a primarily Laurasian distribution. The best Cenozoic record for the clade is in Europe, where two species in the type genus Albanerpeton Estes & Hoffstetter, 1976 occur in over 40 localities of early Oligocene-Early Pleistocene age in Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and Serbia. [...]
Les albanerpetontidés représentent un clade éteint de lissamphibiens ressemblant superficiellement à des salamandres, dont l'aire de répartition s'étend du Jurassique moyen (Bathonien) au Pléistocène inférieur, et dont la distribution est principalement laurasiatique. [...]

The Pliocene-Pleistocene transition in the Neotropics is poorly understood despite the major climatic changes that occurred at the onset of the Quaternary. The San Gregorio Formation, the younger unit of the Urumaco Sequence, preserves a fauna that documents this critical transition. [...]

84 p, 2.6 MB How to render species comparable taxonomic units through deep time : a case study on intraspecific osteological variability in extant and extinct lacertid lizards / Tschopp, Emanuel (Universität Hamburg) ; Napoli, James G.

Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Upchurch, Paul (University College London. Department of Earth Sciences)
Generally, the species is considered to be the only naturally occurring taxon. However, species recognized and defined using different species delimitation criteria cannot readily be compared, impacting studies of biodiversity through Deep Time. [...]

8 p, 1.3 MB Past, present, and future climate space of the only endemic vertebrate genus of the Italian peninsula / Macaluso, Loredana (Università degli Studi di Torino.

Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
The two extant Salamandrina species represent a unique case of morphology, ecology, and ethology among urodeles. The range of this genus is currently limited to Italy, where it represents the only endemic vertebrate genus, but its past range extended over a much broader area of Europe, including the Iberian and Balkan peninsulas.

Department of Biology (USA)) ; Ceregato, Alessandro (Consiglio Nazionale per la Ricerca. Istituto di Scienze Marine) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
The natural history collection of the Bolognese polymath, encyclopedist, and natural philosopher Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605) is regarded as the first museum in the modern sense of the term. It was intended as a resource for scholarship and a microcosm of the natural world, not simply a cabinet of curiosities. [...]
