The Journal of Systematic Palaeontology focuses on the description and phylogenetic analysis of fossil taxa across various geological periods and geographic locations. Recent articles detail new genera and species of extinct mammals (mustelids, cervids, ailurids), amphibians, and brachiopods, examining their morphology, evolutionary relationships, and paleoecology. The journal also investigates plant evolution, particularly Nothofagus, using integrated morphological and molecular data.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
