paleonet Evolutionary History of Creeping



Hi everybody!

I have been studying the cryptic Caecilians. I am trying to figure out 
whether amphibians previous reptiles first developed slithering, creeping, 
etc. I have not found any studies to determine whether Caecilians developed 
before snakes or viceversa.

Any suggestions or discussions on this matter??

Hello all.

I just learned that Taylor & Francis is considering discontinuing the
journal Historical Biology.  Roger Thomas resigned as editor several
weeks ago to pursue other interests and commitments, and the Editorial
Director at T&F tells me that he's had no luck recruiting a new editor.
Historical Biology is one of a very few paleobiology journals around,
and it would be a shame to lose it.  Over the years, it's carried a lot
of publications about all major vertebrate groups, faunas, and more.

Anyone who might be interested in such a post should contact the folks
at T&F to discuss the duties and level of commitment.  It's my
understanding that Historical Biology has varied in number of issues in
a year from 1 to 4, so the commitment probably isn't tremendous.
They're also considering shifting the journal to on-line only, which may
also be attractive to some prospective editors.

The website for the journal is:

Thanks for considering it!  - Mason
