The implications of a Silurian and other thylacocephalan crustaceans for the functional morphology and systematic affinities of the group.

BMC evolutionary biology | 2014

Thylacocephala is a group of enigmatic extinct arthropods. Here we provide a full description of the oldest unequivocal thylacocephalan, a new genus and species Thylacares brandonensis, which is present in the Silurian Waukesha fauna from Wisconsin, USA. We also present details of younger, Jurassic specimens, from the Solnhofen lithographic limestones, which are crucial to our interpretation of the systematic position of Thylacocephala. In the past, Thylacocephala has been interpreted as a crustacean ingroup and as closely related to various groups such as cirripeds, decapods or remipeds.

Blender (tool)

RRID:SCR_008606

Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License. Because of the overwhelming success of the first open movie project, Ton Roosendaal, the Blender Foundation''s chairman, has established the Blender Institute. This now is the permanent office and studio to more efficiently organize the Blender Foundation goals, but especially to coordinate and facilitate Open Projects related to 3D movies, games or visual effects.
