Plot of global benthic δ18O data for 0 – 5.3 Ma (Lisiecki & Raymo, 2005) with geomagnetic polarity subchrons displayed on the top x-axis and planktic foraminiferal primary biozones plotted on the bottom x-axis using the deeptime package.

A mammal phylogeny (Garland et al., 1992) plotted in the fan layout using the ggtree and deeptime packages. The greyscale concentric circles in the background indicate geological stages, whereas the linear colored timescale indicates geological epochs.

Early tetrapod occurrence data (Jones et al., 2023) plotted as a taxonomic/biostratigraphic range plot using the geom_points_range() function from the deeptime package.

A stratigraphic column of Cretaceous lithostratigraphic units from the San Juan Basin, USA. The deeptime package has been used to add pattern fill which indicate the primary lithologies of the units as reported by the Macrostrat API (Peters et al., 2018) via the rmacrostrat R package (Jones et al., 2024).

I am happy to share that our publication on an interesting new freshwater isopod species from the Cretaceous of Lebanon has been published by @royalsocietypublishing.org Thank you @ninonrobin.bsky.social for organizing this international collaboration! #fossil #palaeontology #Isopoda

Unfortunately, I don't. But this should be IN the code. Honestly, why does it have to read like a legal document. Sure, it needs to be concise, but as it is now, it doesn't seem to be written for humans other than legal professionals.

Just saw that a manuscript on a photogrammetry which I rejected was published by #MDPI "applied system innovation"
Could someone take a look and tell me that it is not just me turning insane. To me this appears to be successful attempt to publish AI generated nonsense.

I think this does a good job of communicating how taxonomy sensu stricto (i.e. the naming) has to be the consequence but never the basis of phylogenetic studies. It'll be interesting to see how the field of palaeoanthropology will deal with the non-standard specimen-based way of doing phylogenetics.

I remember searching for it too. But no, I don't have the PDF in my library.
