Review of the ecology and evolution of endobionts associated with corals throughout the Phanerozoic is published by Vinn, Zapalski & Wilson (2025). [51] Maletz et al. (2025) revise Paleozoic fossils with similarities to feathers, and interpret the studied fossil material as including remains of macroalgae, hydrozoan cnidarians and graptolites. [52]
Evidence from the study of fossil record damage of plants caused by insects, indicating that modern patterns of insect herbivory originated by late Middle Jurassic (60 million years before the beginning of angiosperm dominance in plant assemblages), is presented by Xiao et al. (2025).
Xu & Barrett (2025) review the research on the evolutionary history of feathers from the preceding years. [83] Hedge et al. (2025) revise archosaur eggshells from the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation (Utah, United States), and identify remains of eggs produced by oviraptorosaur theropods, ornithopods and a crocodylomorph.

Evidence from the study of phytoliths from the Giraffe locality (Northwest Territories, Canada), indicative of presence of palms close to the Arctic Circle over an extensive period of time during the Eocene (approximately 48 million years ago), is presented by Siver et al. (2025).
Evidence from the study of brain endocasts of extant and extinct mammals, indicative of cortical expansion in the areas of the brain involved in producing cognitive functions that began early on during the primate evolution, is presented by Melchionna et al. (2025), who argue that selection for complex cognition likely drove the evolution of primate brains.

Analyzing intricate tattoos found on 1,000-year-old mummies, the team discovered puncture lines between 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters wide in patterns reminiscent of details found on Chancay pottery and ...
2025 in arthropod paleontology is a list of new arthropod fossil taxa, including arachnids, crustaceans, trilobites, and other arthropods (except insects, which have their own list) that were announced or described, as well as other significant arthropod paleontological discoveries and events which occurred in 2025.
