A Devonian pterygotid eurypterid playground in China.

Pterygotids (Eurypterida; Pterygotidae), known more commonly as ancient sea scorpions, were large apex predators of the Silurian-Devonian marine realm, and included some of the largest arthropods in Earth’s history, with some species reaching up to 2.5 meters in length. They are the only family of eurypterids to be found globally in marine deposits owing to their domination of the Mid-Palaeozoic seas.

Punctuated Equilibria at 50: Revisiting Evolution’s Boldest Idea

Fifty years ago, palaeontologists Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould published one of the most provocative ideas in evolutionary science: punctuated equilibria. In their 1972 paper, they argued that species don’t always evolve through slow, steady change. Instead, the fossil record shows long periods of stasis, times when species remain remarkably stable, interrupted by brief bursts of evolutionary innovation linked to the origin of new species.

Sharks help us to rebuild the tails of ancient marine monsters

When we picture mosasaurs, the giant marine reptiles that ruled the oceans during the Late Cretaceous, we often imagine long, snake-like monsters propelling through the water. But what did their tails really look like? The fossil record rarely preserves the soft tissues from which fins and muscles are constructed, leaving paleontologists with only bones to infer what these propulsive features may have looked like.

Crinoid survivors bounce back in the aftermath of the Late Ordovician Mass Extinction

The Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME) was the second largest mass extinction of the ‘Big Five’ extinctions in Earth’s history, responsible for the loss of approximately 85% of marine species. Following an important diversification in the middle Ordovician, crinoids experienced substantial loss during the LOME, and species saw a significant decrease in body size, known in paleontology as the ‘Lilliput Effect’.

How the Earth’s first animals reclaimed the seafloor after catastrophe

The first geographically widespread animals in geological history appear in the Ediacaran period, in the Avalon assemblage, between 574 and 560 million years ago. The first animal communities were host to strange and unfamiliar organisms known as rangeomorphs and arboreomorphs, as well as more recognisable cnidarians (invertebrates like sea anemone and jellyfish).

The need of an ethics of planetary sustainability

How long will humankind survive? Besides the fact that we have been able to eliminate ourselves with nuclear weapons for decades, even without a third world war, the challenge to take care of the resources of our planet remains; we need to use them in a way that our children and their children can have a place on Earth as well. In this blog post Andreas Losch discusses his recent review article in the International Journal of Astrobiology, The need of an ethics of planetary sustainability

The impact of parasite infection on mental illness

More and more research is finding inflammation as a potential contributing factor towards to the development of various mental illnesses. A systematic review was conducted to determine the association between parasitic infection and mental illnesses in various African populations.  Two parasite groups were evaluated; helminths and protozoans, and four mental illness classifications; depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, schizotypal disorders and unspecified mental illnesses.
