This Russian social media website may be of interest to some as a handy way to keep track of new vertpaleo papers in one place (rather than scattered over individual Twitter posts),Âincluding fishes and Cenozoic tetrapods that I don't usually include in my DML postings. (Note that I also do a weekly list of free (but not paywalled) vertpaleo papers over on the VertPaleo list.)
The listing of new papers is not exhaustive but does keep good tabs on major journals and Russian sources.Â

Another useful source for new papers is the Wikipedia Paleontology 2020 list, which links out to sublists for fishes, reptiles, archosaurs (including birds), and mammals.

The Bird Forum site is also a good place to check for new papers on fossil birds:
