Glad to share that I have recently joined @SciReports as an Editorial Board Member for the Ecology & Evolution section. This is where I published my first paper on the lower jaw of Gigantoraptor back in 2017.
Looking forward to reading new submissions!

Video on dinosaur parenting: youtu.be/TgHritshrq0
Good parenting means incubating your eggs in an active volcano. To Sauropods at least.
Discover more prehistoric parenting styles.

New sauropod fossils from Tibet! In Wei et al. 2023, we report some postcranial materials from the Middle Jurassic of Qamdo. Dinosaur (and other vertebrate) fossils from Tibet have been scarce, but we're sure the record will keep growing.

⚠️New pterosaur paper alert! ⚠️
In a taxonomic revision of the tapejarids from the Jiufotang Formation (including 6 new specimens!), we conclude that only 2 species (out of 7 proposed ones) are valid: Sinopterus dongi and Huaxiadraco corollatus (new genus)!

It's time for the yearly roundup of new research in maniraptoran paleontology, anatomy, and evolution! What were everyone's favorite maniraptoran discoveries of 2022? albertonykus.blogspot.com/20… (📷@LukeEMeade & @FionMaWS, Wang et al., Matsuoka & Hasegawa, Li et al.)

The year started with our description of a little dinosaur baby inside its egg, fossilized right before it was due to hatch. Its head tucked beneath its wing, just like a bird. Great work by @FionMaWS, leading a team w/ @LidaXing1982 @darlaz_dinos etc.
Couldn't have done it without @PalaeoStephan. Thank you, Stephan!

😎 I am so excited that our “Monkeydactyl" Kunpengopterus antipollicatus has set Guinness World Records for being the first animal with opposable thumbs!

Our Alumna from Department of Earth Sciences Fion MA co-led an international team to study one of the best-preserved dinosaur embryos ever discovered, and figured it was about to hatch at the time! Read more about this Hong Kong-born palaeontologist: bit.ly/3K6qcUc
