Uh, sphenodon. Can you bring up a little list of the "fish" centred articles? This thing is massive and it's rather a pain to find some things. Plus, ctrl f doesn't work on pdf for some reason. Maybe thats just me.

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

There's also some stuff like undescribed Megaraptorans in Australia, which helps more about that strange theropod group (I think they're basal coelurosaurians currently).

Spoiler: click to toggle coming soon......a world seeded by outcast clades and some important easily forgotten ones.the world of the caecilians and company and who knows what is coming next...........[comming soon/spoiler] Spoiler: click to toggle Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Lyvatan The Wise? 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.

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.
Nice on all accounts.
Especially interested in the latter, since an abstract on a full gondwanathere skeleton came out last SVP.

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.

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.

There's also some stuff like undescribed Megaraptorans in Australia, which helps more about that strange theropod group (I think they're basal coelurosaurians currently).
I remember someone saying the abstract mentioned they found an allosauroid identity. I thought the only thing about megaraptorans here are that there are two new ones found in EK Thailand, and that it doesn't solve the classification debate

There's also some stuff like undescribed Megaraptorans in Australia, which helps more about that strange theropod group (I think they're basal coelurosaurians currently).
I remember someone saying the abstract mentioned they found an allosauroid identity.
I thought the only thing about megaraptorans here are that there are two new ones found in EK Thailand, and that it doesn't solve the classification debate Again, I was just going off someone else saying that that abstract said an allosauroid identity was favored; I haven't read the abstract myself and this could be incorrect.

Yeah, and even if you don't agree with creationists on that concept, that doesn't mean they can't be decent people.

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.

So Trialestes is a definite hot blooded sphenosuchian, and tenrec-echidna type labile homeothermy was present in rhynchosaurids? A tactile origin of tetrapod hands and feet ie. fingers and toes co-evolved with sensory tissue pads? The LCA of protarchaeopterygids (=incisivosaurs) and caenagnathiforms had normal theropod dentition?

Is the Mason Creek recumbirostran a juvenile? They have bones that ossify early suggesting they hatched or were born without a tadpole stage.
(The word microsaur ought to be redundant but its odd Pardo et al didn't include nectrideans in their analysis, nor mesosaurs or parareptiles, nor Casineria nor Westlothiana...)
Taken with the vulture hock revelation (actually nothing new) the diet of Microraptor ought to refute the silly biplane idea: because you can't hunt fish habitually when you are in a tree. Habib criticised the notion from the beginning, but some people were too quick to dig up Nopsca's hypothetical Tetrapteryx. Just vulture hock plus more extensive foot feathering than is normal for birds today, but see eagle owls, moa, ptarmigan for examples of feathered feet. In owls it is hypothesised feathered toes are armoured against biting prey animals or that feathers evolved there for a tactile function. Despite the number of birds that have foot feathers in montane or arctic habitat there is no reason to think they confer insulatory advantntages over bare feet.
