A new fossil fungus discovered in Scotland shows evidence of plants and fungi sharing nutrients to survive on land.

The fossil, more than 400 million years old, offers hints about the origin of one of the greatest partnerships in the history of life on Earth.

An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago.

An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago. The quantity and diversity of marine reptile and amphibian fossils show that these groups had already radiated into complex oceanic ecosystems by ~249 million years ago.

It breaks my heart to see these innocent ppl being evacuated into the darkness and cold of the night in Dnipro. Many of them lost everything.

It seems that these common mites use C. rubrotincta as kindergarden. Our observations suggest that adult mites bite cavities into the lichen tissue and lay their eggs into them. We observed mite eggs and (the hitherto undescribed) juvenvile stages of the most commonly associated mites.
