Illustration of characters from the atlas vertebra distributed across the modern lissamphibian phylogenetic tree. Legend of characters and their respective symbols at top left. Underneath is a CT rendering of the atlas of Changchunerpeton nonganensis (RCPS VJ4001) in two views (whole specimen below, sagittal section above) and a black arrow indicating the placement of this taxon on the Hynobiidae lineage within the modern lissamphibian tree.
Grey vertical bars on the tree highlight the Triassic, Cretaceous and Neogene time intervals (left to right). On the right, two columns of pairs of CT renderings of the atlases of different extant lissamphibians. In each case, the entire atlas in anterior view is shown on the left, and a rotated sagittal section showing the medial wall of the neural arch and the interior of the centrum in right lateral and slightly anterior view, on the right. Pink and blue arrows indicate the positions of the spinal cord and notochordal canal on the specimens.

#SundayFishSketch is a quick little Red Handfish, since he ended up being the fish of choice for my field trip presentation this week!

Colored pencil drawing of a red handfish. As the name implies, his pectoral fins are red and very human hand-looking. He also has a fin coming out of his forehead shaped like a triangle that reminds me of a dinosaur.

A cute little reticulated beetle, Tenomerga cinerea. This odd lineage last shared an ancestor with more typical beetles like ladybirds and scarabs nearly 300 million years ago.

Illustration from "Musée entomologique illustré t.1" (Paris, 1876-1878) depicting 16 detailed beetles, including a variety of scarabs and dung beetles. The central beetle is large with prominent, branching horns resembling a unicorn's horn, while others show diverse shapes, colors, and textures, such as striped, ridged, and smooth carapaces. Each beetle is numbered for identification. The pale yellow background contrasts with the muted tones of the beetles, emphasizing their anatomical features, legs, antennae, and distinctive horn-like protrusions, highlighting the historical scientific focus on entomology and beetle morphology linked to the "unicorn" keyword.

The leg bones, including the foot with visible toes, are carefully positioned in the earth. Nearby are excavation tools, such as a pick and a bucket, along with cloth coverings. The surrounding terrain appears barren and rocky. Caption below reads "Limb of dinosaur in position," indicating the fossil is in situ during a paleontological dig, from the American Museum of Natural History circa 1912.

CICADA.BMF

A large cicada of the genus Magicicada, its eyes glowing magenta. Cicadas spend most of their life underground, only emerging near the end of a 17-year cycle to spend a few weeks above ground as adult imagoes. Somewhere in Pennsylvania in 1987, a grad student named Red walks along a wooded path, his feet crunching the countless cicada shells littering the ground. The mating song of the males is deafening, an urgent chorus of want and desire. Red barely registers the piercing song, so lost in his thoughts is he. He later looks up the name of the shedded exoskeletons and learns they are called exuviae. A perfect word, taught to Red by Brood X.

Unions promoted Jim Crow and racial exclusion in citizenship laws and neglect incarcerated workers. Some union leaders support ICE. And there are internal conflicts about the harms of AI. Unions are vital—and I’m active with mine—but, ultimately, unions are what we make them.

Illustration titled "Monograph of the British aphides," Plate IX, showing four detailed, hand-colored drawings of two species of green aphids: Siphonophora menthae (two winged, two wingless) and Siphonophora chelidonii (two winged, two wingless). The winged aphids have translucent wings with subtle pink tinting and black veins, while the wingless ones display textured, segmented bodies with fine leg and antenna details. Each insect is numbered and positioned on a yellowed background typical of 19th-century scientific plates, emphasizing morphological differences important for entomological study. The illustration highlights anatomical accuracy characteristic of Victorian natural history.

upper left: "Xen" is a Xenomorphon. A wingless beetle who cries easily. He always wants to watch the same three movies.
upper right: "Atra" is an Atractocerus. A very long and flexible beetle who can fit in narrow areas. He gets nervous in big crowds.
lower left: "Clav" is a Claviger. A beetle who is always showing up in places without having been invited. He's a nice guy, though, so everyone is usually okay with it.
lower right: "Para" is a Paratuposa. A very small and light beetle who is blown around by strong wind. She brushes her wings for two hours every day.

upper left: "Cal" is a Calodromus. A beetle with long legs who actually hates running. When he gets angry, he kicks things.
upper right: "Platy" is a Platyrhopalopsis. A shy beetle who loves peace and quiet. She always gets nervous when it's her turn to order at restaurants.
lower left: "Kero" is a Cerocranus. A fussy beetle who cares a lot about his looks. He is often late to things, because he gets distracted by mirrors and windows.
lower right: "Ness" is a Cnestus. A small beetle who knows a lot about mushrooms. If she starts talking about something she likes, she will never stop.

upper left: "Mike" is a Micromalthus. A pleasant beetle who always tries to look at the bright side of things. People ask her when she will get married, but she says she is happy by herself.
upper right: "Koto" is a Coatonachthodes. A small beetle with a big tail that looks like a termite. Her tail isn't alive, but sometimes she talks to it when she thinks no one is listening.
lower left: "Mel" is a Meloetyphlus. A loud beetle who loves the sound of her own voice. Even though she has a huge head, she forgets things easily.
lower right: "Trak" is a Trachelismus. A beetle who can always see over the crowd at concerts. He has been getting into origami lately.

Two flowers are fully open, displaying multiple elongated yellow petals with fine brown veining and dark brown, intricate central disk florets. The third flower is viewed from the side, revealing overlapping petals and a dark green, bulbous base beneath the petals. A large leaf with detailed veins is faintly sketched behind the flowers. The image is rendered on aged paper with subtle text in the background, typical of early 19th-century botanical prints.
