Dear colleagues, I just published my first paper on mass extinction events (though this one is not so massive, after all), in the mid-Permian, in early synapsids (ophiacodontids, edaphosaurids and sphenacodontids): peerj.com/articles/12577

Hi everybody, I just published this paper; those of you interested in the history of zoology might want to have a look: Phylogenetic signal in characters from Aristotle’s History of Animals — sciencepress.mnhn.fr/fr/periodiques… — #Comptes Rendus Palevol via Publications MNHN 🐝

Good news! My article "The cecal appendix is correlated with greater maximal longevity in mammals" received enough downloads to be a #topdownloadedarticle in its journal. See: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

The direction of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (Paris) wants to move many of its collections to Dijon, 2h of train away from Paris. Imagine the impact on collections-based research, curators, etc. Please help prevent this by signing this: chng.it/7J9mPHby9Y

My historical essay on biological nomenclature, from prehistory to the 21st century, was just published in Zoologica Scripta. It is, to an extent, a condensed version of my book, but it includes a new section, notably on glottochronology. See: doi.org/10.1111/zsc.12…
