Here we looked a little into Latitudinal Biodiversity Gradient of mammals, across the fossil record!

New day, new paper! 🦣🌍 Led by @mapaslab.bsky.social ab.bsky.social PhD student Sofía Galván and out now in Global Ecology and Biogeography in which we asked:

"Could future palaeontologists detect today’s biodiversity patterns from fossils alone?"

Since I am new here, now I will re post some of my previously published contribution on this social media :)) 🦖

Here the latest chapter of my PhD dissertation published a couple of months ago on iguanodontian dinosaurs in the Upper Jurassic of Portugal.

Evidence of large-sized ankylopollexian dinosaurs (Ornithischia: Iguanodontia) in the Upper Jurassic of Portugal

The Upper Jurassic beds of the Lusitanian Basin in central Portugal yield diverse dinosaurian fauna, dated to the Kimmeridgian–Tithonian interval. Saurischian dinosaurs are, overall, more abundant ...
