A new study by Prof. Ariel Chipman of The Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem provides a novel model for understanding the development and evolution of arthropod body plans—specifically the arrangement of their segmented body parts known as tagmata.
A 113-million-year-old hell ant that once lived in northeastern Brazil is now the oldest ant specimen known to science, finds a new report. The hell ant, which was preserved in limestone, is a member of Haidomyrmecinae -- an extinct subfamily that only lived during the Cretaceous period. These ants had highly specialized, scythe-like jaws that they likely used to pin or impale prey.
An international team of paleontologists, geologists, geoscientists and Earth scientists has found evidence that a type of giant crocodile that lived millions of years ago in what is now North America is not closely related to modern alligators. In their study published in the journal Communications Biology, the group took a closer look at Deinosuchus fossils and those of other species to determine whether it was saltwater-tolerant.
Even under today's climatic conditions, the long-extinct straight-tusked elephant could still live in Europe. This is the conclusion of a recent study. For this finding, the research group combined fossil finds with reconstructions of past climates.
The best jaw for hunting fast fish is long and full of sharp teeth. This makes sense to us, but it also makes sense in nature: New fossil evidence from Virginia Tech geoscientists revealed that different species of predatory fish independently evolved similar jaw structures hundreds of millions of years apart.
