A
busy day for publications! As well as the Biology
Letters paper making it into print, new eurypterid
trackways from the Rhenish Massif are described
in Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments,
and a new phylogeny of the Stylonurina is published
in Journal of Systematic Palaeontology. |

The
analysis of Cope's rule and Romer's theory in eurypterids,
first published online for Biology Letters

Abstracts
of my posters and papers have now been uploaded to the
site, and can be accessed through the 'about me' link,
where I have also listed the details of a new paper
in review.
Also,
the synziphosurine Pasternakevia has been redescribed
in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. |

The
taxonomic encyclopedia has been updated to account for
a few synonymy issues. Over the next week or so I hope
to update my research page and fill in some of the resources
and services sections, along with expanding some of
the localities and genus data.

The
International Palaeontological Congress is a major international
meeting held once every four years under the auspices
of the International Palaeontological Association.
This
year is the third congress, and is taking place in London.
As part of the proceedings there is going to be a workshop
on chelicerates, dealing with everything from the potential
stem-group to derived arachnids, including eurypterids.
Details
can be found on the website here; http://www.ipc3.org/ |

The
resources section is now up and running, including links
to eurypterids in the media and a number of images. Further
links and images shall be added in the future. |

A
new paper is published online in Biology Letters
today, reevaluating Romer's
theory and looking at patterns of evolution in eurypterids. |

The
eurypterids newsletter, originally run by Simon Braddy,
has now moved to this site. A link to the current issue
and, hopefully, future issues has been added to the menu
bar. If you have anything you wish to appear in a future
issue of the newsletter please do email it to me. If future
issues attract enough interest I may consider formatting
them as a small pdf booklet. |

The
site goes live! There is much still to do, but for the
bare bones are up and running.
Also within the last month, the Portishead eurypterid
Drepanopterus
abonensis has been redescribed and a new
genus of pterygotid eurypterid described, both in
the journal Palaeontology. |
