Fossil Friday: Evolutionary Stasis in Fossil Damselflies Challenges Darwinism
In the hard sciences such explanations that can explain everything and rule out no possible observations are usually considered empirically empty and worthless.
Fossil Friday: A Strange Dragonfly Larva
In a monograph in 2007, I suggested that these larvae may not be genuine dragonflies of the suborder Anisoptera.
Fossil Friday: Abrupt Appearance of a Distinct Dragonfly Group
The fossil is almost complete, only the abdomen is missing and was likely bitten off by a predator.
Fossil Friday: The Abrupt Origins of Lagomorphs and Rodents
Molecular biologist Dan Graur mentioned his weird idea that guinea pigs are not rodents at a lecture at my university in Tübingen when I was still a student.
Fossil Friday: The Abrupt Origins of Treeshrews (Scandentia) and Colugos (Dermoptera)
Even as a paleontologist I admit that calling this a real scientific discipline seems like an insult to sciences like physics or chemistry or molecular biology.
