Halting biodiversity loss under growing anthropogenic pressure is arguably the greatest environmental challenge we face. Given that not all species are equally threatened and resources always limited, establishing robust prioritisation schemes critical for implementing effective conservation actions. To this end, International Union Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Threatened Species has ...

The poorly understood Triassic reptile Drepanosaurus is known for its excessively large claws. New discoveries demonstrate a remarkable modification of the bones in the wrist and forearm, a significant departure from the typical five-digit tetrapod limb.

An anomalocaridid from the Ordovician exposes a second set of body flaps and reopens the question of how the two branches of arthropod legs evolved.

Over the last two decades, the study of new fossil material has yielded major insights into the evolution of Australia's marsupial carnivores. This material includes the first complete or nearcomplete crania for Tertiary representatives of Dasyuridae, Thylacinidae and Propleopinae (Hypsiprymnodontidae), as well as the first skulls known for the thylacoleonid genera, Priscileo and Wakaleo. Also ...
