Conservation des rhinocéros : la fin justifie-t-elle les moyens ? Menacés, les rhinocéros font l’objet de politiques de conservation de crise : moyens militaires contre les braconniers, décornage systématique et même programme génétique de « désextinction ». Autant de mesures qui interrogent quant à leurs impacts sur les animaux et les humains.

Conservation des rhinocéros : la fin justifie-t-elle les moyens ?

Jurassica réécrit l’histoire du cheval - Canal Alpha On pensait que le premier cheval, l’Eohippus, datait de 56 millions d’années. En réalité, il serait apparu entre 5 et 10 millions d’années plus tard.

Avec Jérémy Tissier, on parle des premiers chevaux, de paléothères et de nos projets en cours au JURASSICA Muséum 🐎

A recent study showed that horses appeared later (50 Mya) than what we previously thought (56 Mya) 🐎
Indeed, Hyracotherium (aka Eohippus - dawn horse) and Pliolophus are not horses nor even hippomorphs in this lattest phylogeny 🤯

If you missed my first poster Yesterday at the #SVP2025 come and see the 2nd one this afternoon! It’s about Notoungulates and enamel histology 🦷

Out now in Biology Letters, my latest paper tackles an apparently simple question: how many characters are needed to reconstruct a phylogeny? TL;DR: in most cases between 100 and 500, more than a substantial portion of morphological datasets, but the story is more complex... doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

New paper out! It was an honor to collaborate with the legend Leah Krubitzer on this review to show that paleontologists and neurobiologists working together can only improve our understanding of brain evolution 🧠

If you want to know what happened to these newcomers, a.k.a. palaeotheres, stay tuned, as this is the topic of my current post doc in Switzerland 🇨🇭

And don’t worry, rhinos have also a role to play in this work! 🦏

Indeed, the giant-sized and most recent species, Lophiodon lautricense, consumed more abrasive and harder items. 🌳

Lastly, the changes in dietary strategies are also related to climate cooling and new competitors. ❄️🐎

We studied lophiodontid dietary evolution over their entire stratigraphical range and found out that early lophiodontids were browsers, not frugivores as traditionally thought. 🌿

We noted a diet shift in lophiodontids associated with body mass and progressive molarisation. 🦷

After about 7 years, we eventually managed to finish our lophiodons side project! The release is just on time for #fossilfriday 🥳

I was very happy for the opportunity to work with friends and on a different group!

3D renderings of a CT scan of a small rattlesnake. Top: rendering of snake skeleton in brown with rodent skeleton inside rendered in pink and orange, overlayed on the same image with the snake's skeleton rendered transparent and the rodent in pink and orange. Bottom: Closer up view of the rodent viewed from the other side, showing the front of the skull with teeth.

Image of a preserved rattlesnake specimen, coiled up with mouth open and fangs bared.

When I CT scanned this diamondback rattlesnake specimen, I found a surprise rodent inside 🐍🐁
