Abstract: Significance Little is known about stem-lineage salamanders, limiting understanding of their early evolution and of the origins of modern amphibian diversity. We report new, three-dimensionally preserved skeletons of the stem-salamander Marmorerpeton, from 166 million-year-old rocks… read more here.

Abstract: Reproductive proteins evolve at unparalleled rates, resulting in tremendous diversity of both molecular composition and biochemical function between gametes of different taxonomic clades. To date, the proteomic composition of amphibian gametes is largely a molecular… read more here.
