A new pseudosuchian archosaur, Mambawakale ruhuhu gen. et sp. nov., from the Middle Triassic Manda Beds of Tanzania

Richard J. Butler et al.

Summary: The Mambawakale ruhuhu fossil specimen from the Manda Beds of southwest Tanzania provides important insights into the early radiation of archosaurian reptiles. It possesses unique cranial features that distinguish it from other archosaurs in the Manda Beds, and is considered to be an early diverging pseudosuchian. It is one of the largest pseudosuchians known from the Middle Triassic.

Dental development and first premolar homology in placental mammals

Calum J. McKay et al.

Summary: Based on ontogenetic anatomy and area predictions, the study supports previous interpretations about the homology of the first premolar in Macroscelidid afrotherians and Canid carnivorans. The first premolar in Macroscelidid afrotherians is a retained deciduous tooth, while in Canis it is a successional tooth without a milk precursor.

Continental palynomorphs from the Dabaa Formation, North-Western Desert, Egypt: a contribution to the reconstruction of the vegetation on the southern shores of the Tethys Ocean during the Early Oligocene

Haytham El Atfy et al.

Summary: The study documents continental palynomorphs recovered from sedimentary rocks in Egypt, dating back to the late Eocene to early Oligocene period. It reveals the evolution and distribution of tropical vegetation during this time, including tropical forests, grasslands, and (semi-)arid tropical shrublands, with angiosperms as a main representative. The findings suggest a narrowing of the tropical forest belt along the coast of the Tethys Ocean during the Oligocene, coinciding with climatic deterioration following the Eocene-Oligocene boundary.

Widespread loss of mammalian lineage and dietary diversity in the early Oligocene of Afro-Arabia

Dorien de Vries et al.

Summary: By utilizing time-scaled phylogenies of endemic clades of small Afro-Arabian mammals, researchers identified a steep decline in species numbers around the Eocene-Oligocene transition, possibly linked to global cooling, flood basalt volcanism in East Africa, and a major loss in dietary diversity. The study also suggests that this decline may have been correlated with a global cooling phase, rapid growth of the Antarctic ice sheet, and a worldwide drop in sea level. Researchers used geological and geochemical evidence to support their findings and raise questions about the impact of early Oligocene climate change on Afro-Arabia's endemic mammals.
