Science Advances · 2022 Major multidisciplinary research Relevance: Group-level context; no specimen identification
Combines reptile evolutionary patterns with Permian–Triassic climate data. The study associates climatic change with shifts in evolutionary rates and body size; it is relevant background for the broad label.
Nature · 2025 Flagship journal; contextual rather than exact-specimen study Relevance: Early Carboniferous amniote origin; temporal context beyond the Permian exhibit
Reports clawed tracks interpreted as early crown amniotes, potentially extending their record by 35–40 million years. Trackmaker identity is an inference; this does not identify the exhibit animal.
