“Dinosaur” means “terrible lizard” and they were in fact so bad at lizarding they wound up becoming birds.

Pterosaur palaeontology suffers from a high rate of early-career attrition of women. With many leaving the field around completion of their doctorate, or, despite good track record, struggle with future topical employment. Please, collaborate with & platform the young women remaining in this niche.

Kestrels can hover in place for over a minute at a time while scanning for food, if wind conditions are ideal. This stationary hunting method, which earned them the historical nickname "windhover," lets them drop vertically on prey like mice and insects.

Important new paper! A fragmentary but super early fossil cetacean: introdocing Kalakocetus from the early Eocene of India. It's got molars that are intermediate between the herbivorous raoellids (cetacean sister taxa) and the carnivorous early whales like Pakicetus. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The mandible and dentition of Kalakocetus from the original paper. Most of the teeth are triangular and double rooted; the mandible is small, around 20 cm long.

A phylogenetic tree showing the placement of Kalakocetus as the earliest diverging cetacean, branching off before Pakicetus and later archaeocetes. The tooth morphology is intermediate between the herbivorous raoellids and the carnivorous pakicetids

Tooth wear in early cetaceans, showing that Kalakocetus has tooth wear intermediate between raoellids and early whales
