The program book of the 2017 Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting has been released, and can be viewed here.
I haven't looked through the full list of abstracts yet (I'll post what I find in a bit), but if last year's SVP abstracts are anything to go by, there's apt to be a bounty of material in these. So far I've heard of a new species of Parasaurolophus from Upper Cretaceous Utah, some research into gliding and roosting behavior in eleutheriodontids from Jurassic China, and embryonic Deinonychus remains.

We have a Discord server! If you would like to join, simply message myself, Flisch, or Icthyander. Some of my ideas (nothing real yet, but soon): Refugium: A last chance for collapsing ecosystems and their inhabitants. Pansauria: A terraforming project featuring the evolution of exactly one animal - the marine iguana. Mars Renewed: An insight into the life of Mars thirty million years after its terraforming by humankind. Microcosm: An exceedingly small environment. Alcyon: A planet colonized by species remodeled into new niches by genetic engineering. Oddballs: Aberrant representatives of various biological groups compete and coexist. ..and probably some other stuff at some point (perhaps a no K-T project). Stay tuned!

Yeah, and even if you don't agree with creationists on that concept, that doesn't mean they can't be decent people. I have friends who are creationist (possibly even young earth) that I get along with fine in general life.

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods. So you think we should just shut up and die?! If that is the fate decided by a god. You are mistaken if you think we will simply accept such a fate and wait to die. We'll never stop fighting. Not till the end. To Zanza, the outcome is the same. Thus your logic is flawed.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

I thought not. It’s not a story the newbies would tell you. It’s a forum legend. Lyvatan was an admin of the forum, so powerful and so wise he could use science to influence the human imagination to create life… He had such a knowledge of the forum that he could even keep the ones he cared about from leaving.Speculative Evolution is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his admin power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice banned him while he was offline. Ironic. He could save others from leaving the community, but not himself.

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif
"Considering the lifespans of modern non- insect arthropods (decade-old old millipedes, 50 year old tarantulas, 100+ year old lobsters) I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura had a lifespan exceeding that of a large testudine"-HangingTheif
"Humans have a tribal mindset and it's not alien for tribes to war on each other. I mean, look at the atrocities chimpanzee tribes do to each other. Most of people's groupings and big conflicts in history are directly or obliquely manifestations of this tribal mindset."-Sceynyos-yis
"He's the leader of the bunch You know his Coconut Gun is finally back to fire in spurts. His Coconut Gun Can make you smile If he shoots ya it's firing in spurts. His Coconut Gun Is bigger, faster, stronger too! He's the gun member of the Coconut Crew! HUH!
C.G.! Coconut Gun! C.G.! Co-Coconut Gun! Shoot yourself with a Coconut Gun! HUH!"-Kamineigh
"RIP, rest in Peytoia."-Little
"In Summary: Piss on Lovecraft's racist grave by making lewds of Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep.
Then eat arby's and embrace the void."-Kamineigh
"Dougal Dixon rule 34."-Sayornis

Any on non-therian mammals? I see the Kayentatherium aquatic habits proposal, but otherwise...
So far I've found:
-Various studies into chewing and teeth; in the field of non-therians, there was a study on symmetrodont chewing mechanisms, another one finding similarities between the molars of docodonts and didelphids in terms of crushing and grinding efficiency, one about Ptilodus' feeding ecology, and another one about possible diphyodonty in haramiyidans (referenced as a possible supporting factor of the group being true mammals).
-The first known metatherian remains recovered from Japan
-First recovered postcranial material from Gondwanan multituberculates
-New early Paleocene (Puertan) multituberculates from Wyoming's Fort Butte Formation
Most of the non-therian discussion seems to be concentrated around page 30 of the PDF; there may be more, but this is what I've seen thus far.

We have a Discord server! If you would like to join, simply message myself, Flisch, or Icthyander. Some of my ideas (nothing real yet, but soon): Refugium: A last chance for collapsing ecosystems and their inhabitants. Pansauria: A terraforming project featuring the evolution of exactly one animal - the marine iguana. Mars Renewed: An insight into the life of Mars thirty million years after its terraforming by humankind. Microcosm: An exceedingly small environment. Alcyon: A planet colonized by species remodeled into new niches by genetic engineering. Oddballs: Aberrant representatives of various biological groups compete and coexist. ..and probably some other stuff at some point (perhaps a no K-T project). Stay tuned!

Interesting abstracts observed thus far:
A Rather Long List +Description of the remains of a gravid female oviraptorosaur with "enigmatic" endosteal tissue (perhaps akin to that seen in gravid female birds, as seen in Tyrannosaurus specimen MOR 1125?) Also of note is that Dr. Mary Schweitzer participated in this one. A. Canoville, T. Yang, L. Zanno, W. Zheng, M. Schweitzer. PALEOHISTOLOGY OF A GRAVID OVIRAPTOROSAURIAN DINOSAUR FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS NANXIONG FORMATION, CHINA, WITH AN ENIGMATIC ENDOSTEAL TISSUE
+Possible evidence contradicting the presence of lips on tyrannosaurs? This ought to be looked into further. T. D. Carr, J. Sedlmayr, D. J. Varricchio, E. Roberts, J. Moore. NO LIPS FOR T. REX: THE CROCODILELIKE FACIAL INTEGUMENT AND SENSORY SYSTEM OF TYRANNOSAURS
+Decently-preserved remains of a maniraptoran embryo? This could be the Deinonychus material mentioned earlier. B. S. Bhullar, M. Hanson, J. Botelho, D. Smith, M. Faunes, D. Field, M. Fabbri, D. A. Burnham, L. E. Wilson. ITERATIVE EVOLUTIONARY AND DEVELOPMENTAL APPEARANCE OF THE AVIAN BEAK REVEALED BY NEW FOSSIL AND EMBRYOLOGICAL DATA

+First known multituberculate postcrania from Gondwana. D. W. Krause, S. Hoffmann, S. Werning. FIRST POSTCRANIAL REMAINS OF MULTITUBERCULATES (ALLOTHERIA, MAMMALIA) FROM GONDWANA
+New evidence for the primitive snake Diablophis from Jurassic Utah; if they really are snake remains, this could potentially impact snake evolutionary history drastically. R. L. Nydam, M. W. Caldwell, A. Palci, T. R. Simões, B. M. Davis. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: NEW EVIDENCE OF THE PRIMITIVE SNAKE DIABLOPHIS FROM THE JURASSIC OF UTAH, U.S.A.
+A new Upper Cretaceous mosasaur apparently exhibiting some form of mosaic evolution in the grand scope of Mosasauria. Unsure of "mosaic" attributes as of yet, or of their potential implications. B. R. Chapman, J. R. Lively. A NEW MOSASAURINE FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS (LOWER CONIACIAN) OF NORTH TEXAS DEMONSTRATES MOSAIC EVOLUTION IN EARLY MOSASAURS
+A study indicating nerve conduction speed may have played a factor in controlling flight movements in large pterosaurs. Perhaps something of note for other speculative mega-fliers? S. Faude, M. Habib. IT TAKES NERVE: PERIPHERAL NERVE CONDUCTION TIME WAS A POTENTIAL LIMIT ON DYNAMIC FLIGHT CONTROL IN GIANT PTEROSAURS
+A new Early Cretaceous pterosaur footprint set from South Korea. H. Kim, I. Paik PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE NEW PTEROSAUR FOOTPRINTS FROM THE EARLY CRETACEOUS HASANDONG FORMATION OF HADONG-GUN, GYEONGSANGNAM-DO, SOUTH KOREA
+New discoveries of some sort concerning Tenontosaurus tilletti obtained through study of an "exceptionally" well-preserved specimen. Considering how well-known T. tilletti is known, one wonders how well-preserved the remains are? T. C. Hunt, J. E. Peterson, J. A. Frederickson, J. E. Cohen, J. L. Berry. NEW INSIGHTS INTO TENONTOSAURUS TILLETTI (DINOSAURIA; ORNITHOPODA) FROM AN EXCEPTIONALLY PRESERVED SPECIMEN
+A new, "exceptionally" well-preserved hadrosaur mummy bearing fossilized integument (not sure whether scales or fibrous yet). F. Bertozzo, K. Stein, P. Godefroit, P. Claeys. THE MUMMY RETURNS:"LAURA", AN EXCEPTIONALLY PRESERVED HADROSAURID MUMMY FROM MONTANA (USA), WITH REMARKS ON THE FOSSILIZED INTEGUMENT
+Very large titanosauriform sauropod described from Thailand; perhaps this indicates South Asia as a hotspot for large titanosaurs in addition to South America? S. Khansubha, C. Pothichaiya, M. Rugbumrung, A. Meesook THE GIGANTIC TITANOSAURIFORM SAUROPOD FROM THE EARLY CRETACEOUS KHOK KRUAT FORMATION IN THE NORTHEASTERN OF THAILAND: A PRELIMINARY REPORT That's it for tonight - more to come tomorrow.

We have a Discord server! If you would like to join, simply message myself, Flisch, or Icthyander. Some of my ideas (nothing real yet, but soon): Refugium: A last chance for collapsing ecosystems and their inhabitants. Pansauria: A terraforming project featuring the evolution of exactly one animal - the marine iguana. Mars Renewed: An insight into the life of Mars thirty million years after its terraforming by humankind. Microcosm: An exceedingly small environment. Alcyon: A planet colonized by species remodeled into new niches by genetic engineering. Oddballs: Aberrant representatives of various biological groups compete and coexist. ..and probably some other stuff at some point (perhaps a no K-T project). Stay tuned!
