Comment on Boyde et al. (2023), 'Fleas and lesions in armadillo osteoderms'.

Boyde et al. (2023) stated that Moura et al. (2021) did not explain how fleas generated cavities in armadillo osteoderms, which is wrongly stated, also presenting a misrepresentation of what is written about this in Moura et al.

filamentous communities from the Ediacaran (approx. 563 Ma) of Brazil.

Precambrian filamentous microfossils are common and diverse. Nevertheless, their taxonomic assignment can be difficult owing to their overall simple shapes typically lacking in diagnostic features. Here, we report communities of well-preserved, large filamentous impressions from the Ediacaran Itajaí Basin ( 563 Ma) of Brazil.
