A phylogeny for Heterostraci (stem‐gnathostomes)
The armoured jawless fishes (‘ostracoderms’) are major and widespread components of middle Palaeozoic ecosystems. As successive branches on the gnathostome stem lineage, they represent the early sequ...

Acquisition of neural crest promoted thyroid evolution from chordate endostyle
Integration of neural crest cells into the endostyle developmental program promoted its evolution into the thyroid gland.

Novel assembly of a head–trunk interface in the sister group of jawed vertebrates - Nature
Imaging of a Devonian jawless fish reveals advanced features previously thought to be exclusive to jawed vertebrates, challenging the idea that jaws were the primary driver for the evolution of derived traits in the vertebrate body plan.

Thrilled to have co-written a News & Views with P. Janvier on Haridy et al.’s recent Nature paper. They reveal that Anatolepis, once thought to have the oldest dental tissue, is actually Cambrian arthropod sensory armor!
