A new Late Miocene small vertebrate assemblage from the Ouarzazate Basin (High Atlas, Morocco) and its biochronological and paleoenvironmental significance The Ouarzazate Basin is located between the southern flank of the Central High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas mountains (in Morocco). The Neogene is primarily represented by the Aït Ouglif and Aït Kandoula ...

Somatic epigenetic mosaicism within Pistacia terebinthus (Anacardiaceae) trees leaves signature in reproductive cells Propagation of epimutations over the branching topology of individuals often produces epigenetic mosaicism in long-lived plants, but whether such epigenetic mosaics can bear some evolutionary relevanc...

It remains largely unknown whether epigenetic mosaicism arising in long-lived plants can have evolutionary relevance.We show in this new preprint that somatic epigenetic mosaics within Pistacia terebinthus trees leave a signature in DNA of the pollen grains produced

Very happy. A paper just out of the oven. It is a piece of work made possible only after many years of thinking about, and looking at, an old problem from multiple perspectives. And with the magical brushstrokes of our artists, Gabriela and Ariadna.

Our beloved teacher in palynology, Michèle Dupré, has left us — a luminous being of knowledge and kindness. May she rest in peace and live on in all of us who learned from her how to walk lightly, rise gently, and fall without a sound.

Out of the cave: Rewilding deep time at the Venice Biennale Out of the Cave, part of the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, reimagines prehistoric human life through scientifically grounded paleoart. This visual installation bridges deep-time knowledge with co...

A last paper. To our knowledge, the Biennale has never shown paleoart before. With Gabriela Amorós, Ana B. Marín-Arroyo & Federica Crivellaro, we bring a scientifically informed work that explores the ecological, artistic & social scope of the Venetian panel.

WHY BOTHER VOTING IN SPAIN? Just ask the Supreme Court, bishops, IBEX bosses, and Franco’s leftovers who should rule, who gets crushed, and who pays in silence. Keep people ignorant, the hierarchy sacred, and the cash flowing up. It’s tradition.

Neanderthals were not ‘hypercarnivores’ and feasted on maggots, scientists say Researchers believe humans’ closest relatives may have stored meat from their kills for months before eating it

Here it is! Please welcome the AMAZING Mirasaura grauvogeli, a NEW MARVELOUS Drepanosaur published in NATURE today!
This astonishing reptile lived during the Middle Triassic in Europe and it possessed an amazing crest made of plume-like structures!

I was commissioned to bring it to life

Just finished the Spanish edition of a book I’d already read in English. Flawless translation. Solid, well-told science—no drama, no nonsense. One of the great minds behind it. Congrats, Tom. (Photo: my old grape knife, harvest-trained in 1970).
