My recent publication on a mid-Late Cambrian trilobite from The Amadeus Basin, central Australia. This is the first definitive biostratigraphic evidence for rocks of an Iverian (Jiangshanian) age in the entire Northern Territory, Australia! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Here we go. Second conference in two weeks. I was in Auckland just three days ago for #IPFC11, and I’m now in Canberra for #Biosystematics! @ElenaKupriyano5 talking about the taxonomy of the very understudied and yet hyper diverse polychaete worms.
AMRI retweeted
Her name is on the acknowledgment slide of nearly every talk at #IPFC11, and for good reason! The wonderful @Diploprion, who just gave a brilliant talk to a packed room on the legacy of @AustmusResearch. Specimens and tissues come from somewhere, and that that’s often a museum.

A whirlwind tour of parrotfish genomes by @FishGuyKai @ipfc2023 raises more question than answers, but certainly refines where we need to look to understand what makes the Bicolour Parrotfish tick along the reef.
