متن کاملComment and Reply on "Fossil vertebrate footprints in the Coconino Sandstone (Permian) of northern Arizona: Evidence for underwater origin" COMMENT
Brand and Tang (1991) proposed that certain unusual vertebrate trackways "point to subaqueous deposition for at least part of the Coconino Sandstone." They supported their conclusions by demonstrating that western newts produce similar trackway configurations in aquarium experiments. While it is encouraging to see vertebrate ichnology play such a prominent role in fundamental questions concerni...
متن کاملJuvenile-adult habitat shift in permian fossil reptiles and amphibians.
Among extant large reptiles, juveniles often occupy different habitats from those of adults or subadults and thus avoid competition with and predation from the older animals; small juveniles often choose cryptic habitats because they are vulnerable to a wide variety of predators. Evidence from fossil humeri and femora of Early Permian reptiles collected from sediments of several distinct habita...
متن کاملDiscriminating signal from noise in the fossil record of early vertebrates reveals cryptic evolutionary history
The fossil record of early vertebrates has been influential in elucidating the evolutionary assembly of the gnathostome bodyplan. Understanding of the timing and tempo of vertebrate innovations remains, however, mired in a literal reading of the fossil record. Early jawless vertebrates (ostracoderms) exhibit restriction to shallow-water environments. The distribution of their stratigraphic occu...
متن کاملFossil genome reveals ancestral link.
to be female, was part of a population long diverged from humans and Neanderthals. Her approximately 3-billion-letter nuclear genome, reported in this issue of Nature, now provides a more telling glimpse into this mysterious group. It also raises previously unimagined questions about its history and relationship to Neanderthals and humans. “The whole story is incredible. It’s like a surprising ...
