New evidence of a European giant tortoise (Titanochelon richardi) from the Upper Miocene of the Vallès-Penedès Basin: taxonomic & phylogenetic implications onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #PapersinPalaeontology @morphobank.bsky.social

Happy #OAweek! This week the research and #scholcomm communities celebrate #OpenAccess, and consider the question of "Who owns our knowledge?"

For MorphoBank the answer is simple: creators do. We encourage maximally open CC0 licensing, and support a range of other Creative Commons options.

An interesting study of life science database sustainability using MorphoBank as one of the case examples 🧪

MorphoBank is upgrading!
Logins will be disabled from Oct 17 (5 PM PDT) – Oct 20, 2025 while we migrate to new software.
Published projects will remain available.
Thanks for your patience as we make MorphoBank better for the research community. 💪
