Our latest, led by the inimitable Chris Kay "Dated gene duplications elucidate the evolutionary assembly of eukaryotes" in which we used gene duplications to test hypotheses of eukaryogenesis. TLDR? They're all wrong. With @tweethinking.bsky.social @anya1.bsky.social @ssolo.bsky.social Davide Pisani

It was really great to hear everyone's exciting new research at GSA! ✨ I had a great time sharing a bit about what I've been thinking most about recently at work: old tiny fossils from the Grand Canyon, carbonate petrology, and early eukaryotic ecology!

🧪 New paper led by @noracc.bsky.social! We measured redox around decaying organisms. Turns out, the bigger and richer in protein you are, the more easily reducing conditions form around you after death, making you more likely to get mineralized and become a fossil (?). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Redox conditions surrounding different decaying carcasses were investigated. The results reveal that carcass size and chemical composition play critical roles in redox dynamics, which explains complex...

#WeekendReading: Faulkner et al. (w/ @rowanmartindale.bsky.social; @chrislowery.bsky.social) on how the test walls of foraminifera change through the Phanerozoic and what might that have to do with ocean chemistry. 🧪⚒️🌊 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
Bootstrap analysis for the origination rates and extinction rates of calcareous (dotted lines) and agglutinated (dashed lines) foraminifera. (A) Expected (light orange shading) versus actual (dark orange dotted line) calcareous extinction rates, (B) expected (light blue shading) versus actual (dark blue dotted line) calcareous origination rates, (C) expected (light orange shading) versus actual (dark orange dashed line) agglutinated extinction rates and (D) expected (light blue shading) versus actual (dark blue dashed line) agglutinated origination rates. Vertical dashed lines indicate the Big Five mass extinction events; the Phanerozoic time scale is at the bottom of the figure; transitions between calcite and aragonite seas are indicated at the top of the figure and the black gradient bar (middle) represents the approximate duration of the Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR). p̂ = origination rate; q̂ = extinction rate.

In the centre is a map of western Canada with the locations of the Pika Biota (red) and Burgess Shale (blue) marked. Underneath is a detail of the Jasper National Park area, where the Pika Biota is found.
Around the outside are brown-coloured images of fossil specimens found in this locality, with individual scale bars underneath each main specimen. Clockwise from top left: Badgiromorpha delicata (holotype; GSM 143757; scale bar 50 microns); Ottoia prolifica (GSM 143728; scale bar 50 microns), with an enlargement showing detail of pectinate scalids (scale bar 10 microns); barred chaetae attributed to cirratuliform annelids (GSM 143854; scale bar 100 microns); Wiwaxia sclerite (GSM 143808; 100 microns); Selkirkia (GSM 138107; scale bar 50 microns).
