@journalsystpal.bsky.socialNext in our series of specialist perspectives on the systematics of fossil organisms:
Cox & Hennekam discuss the systematics of the insular giant fossil dormice (Rodentia: Gliridae) of the Mediterranean. Read here: buff.ly/kt1ra6E

@ncse.bsky.social"Tens of thousands of years ago, a long-legged cat nicknamed the 'American cheetah' prowled North America. But an analysis of the cat family tree reveals this cheetah's closest living relatives are pumas, researchers report." www.sciencenews.org/article/amer... #paleosky #evolution ๐งช
@natureportfolio.nature.comSamples from the 90-million-year-old peatland sediments in Antarctica reveal that fire dynamics in the earliest peatlands of the warm, COโ-rich Cretaceous era closely resembled those of modern ecosystems, according to a paper in Communications Earth & Environment. go.nature.com/3V5GSG0 #Paleosky ๐๐งช

@bmc.springernature.comA study in BMC Zoology describes the hindlimb anatomy of Promegantereon ogygia, one of the oldest known sabreโtoothed cats, and compares it with modern felines and pantherines to understand how it moved and lived.
