Cretaceous sea turtle soft tissues clarify ancestry of scale loss in chelonioids Open
Scale loss is a quintessential hydrodynamic adaptation in marine reptiles, and paralleled the pelagic specializations of Mesozoic ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and metriorhynchid crocodylians, as well as the modern Leatherback Sea turtle (Der…

Cretaceous crocodyliform reconciles conflicting evidence on the Mesozoic paleogeography of Europe during the Gondwana-Laurasia split Open
Inferred biotic exchanges between Europe and Africa during the Cretaceous have been used to support the hypothesis that the complete separation of Europe from Gondwana postdated the split of the remaining Laurasian landmasses from Gondwana…

A new gecko (Squamata, Gekkota) from the Eocene of Geiseltal (Germany) implies long‐term persistence of European Sphaerodactylidae Open
Gekkota (geckos and pygopods) constitute a diverse and early diverging clade of squamates, but their highly fragmentary fossil record allows only limited insights into their evolutionary history. Even long‐known classic Palaeogene Lagerstä…

The impact of molecular data on the phylogenetic position of the putative oldest crown crocodilian and the age of the clade Open
The use of molecular data for living groups is vital for interpreting fossils, especially when morphology-only analyses retrieve problematic phylogenies for living forms. These topological discrepancies impact on the inferred phylogenetic …
