WFS News: Fossil scales illuminate the early evolution of lepidopterans and structural colors
April 12th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Lepidopteran scales exhibit remarkably complex ultrastructures, many of which produce structural colors that are the basis for diverse communication strategies. Little is known, however, about the early evolution of lepidopteran scales and their photonic structures. We report scale architectures from Jurassic Lepidoptera from the United Kingdom, Germany, Kazakhstan, […]
WFS News: An Extraordinary Gobioid Fish Fossil from Southern France
April 9th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev An Extraordinary Gobioid Fish Fossil from Southern France Abstract Background The classification of gobioid fishes is still under discussion. Several lineages, including the Eleotridae and Butidae, remain difficult to characterize because synapomorphies are rare (Eleotridae) or have not yet been determined (Butidae). Moreover, the fossil record of these […]
