The Jamaican velvet worm - Plicatoperipatus jamaicensis #onychophora #peripatidae #fieldwork2026 #jamaica

Happy to share our new paper in Nat. Comm. on the evolution of planktivory in surgeonfishes and relatives 🐠🧬 Combining fossils and genomics, we find multiple independent origins of planktivory, plus convergent positive selection in key genes linked to planktivory. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

From fossil evidence, millipedes were the first animals adapted to life on land about 425 million years ago. In this new paper, we reconstructed their ancient evolutionary history across nearly half a billion years. 🌎 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Reshaping the millipede tree of life by inclusion of the last two unsampled orders

Vasquez-Valverde et al. estimate the ancient evolutionary history of millipedes and analyze the last two remaining unsampled orders, Siphonocryptida and Siphoniulida, two rare paleoendemics whose plac...
