Feel privileged to have been working with these amazing animals at Butantan
Thanks to Carlos Jared !!
π¦ Funded 4-year PhD position on Lizard Evolutionary Ecology in our lab at UCLouvain (Belgium)! Apply before 9 March! jobs.uclouvain.be/Personnelsci...
By integrating evidence from #mammals π¦, #fish π, #amphibians πΈ, #reptiles π¦, and #birds π¦, this paper highlights broader evolutionary patterns and provides a clearer comparative framework that facilitates interpretation of future results. Read more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Exciting news! π¨π
On February 5th, 2026, I will defend my PhD thesis on insect bite force - the method, the data, and its evolutionary implications - seasoned with some anecdotes from the field!

Are Darwin's finches affected by climate change? Time-series analyses of beak and body traits, precipitation and temperature show finches are a resilient system, responding mainly to short-term weather variation rather than to long-term climate change:

CLOSING SOON: Join us as Technical Facility Manager of our new digitisation centre @manmetuni.bsky.social. Run our new Neoscan microCT with loading rigs and autochanger. Plus LEICA BLK360 laser scanner, Creaform HandyScan, Olympus DSX microscope, Resonon Hyperspectral camera: tinyurl.com/y8x596hd
Dr. Alice Gauthey, a Newton International Fellow, standing in a forest, smiling at the camera and holding a leaf. A quote about establishing early-career research independence appears next to her, attributed to her and mentioning The Royal Society: "I wanted to establish greater independence as an early-career researcher. The Newton International Fellowship provided both the time and the resources to develop a strong research portfolio."
The Royal Society's Newton International Fellowships are now open for applications, aimed at non-UK early career scientists who wish to conduct research in the UK. Find out more and apply by 11 March: #RSGrants https://royalsociety.org/grants/newton-international/

Thèse are copies from the FitzSimons field guide⦠maybe not what you needed
Hope this helps
Will have a look first tho tomorrow
I think I have a copy in my office what do you need
A microCT of a Heloderma osteroderm paired with xray diffraction and xray fluorescence data showing the superficial capping tissue and underlying transition zone and bone.
Stiff and different - Lizard osteoderm papers from a collaboration with @henrikbirkedal.bsky.social's group led by Adrian. We show a capping tissue from Heloderma that is enamel-like in mechanical properties but highly disordered in crystal pattern

Great paper by the amazing @priscilarothier.bsky.social
Check it out!
Really cool paper by my collaborators!
π¨π¨PhD position alert!π¨π¨

Deadline for abstracts today
Great paper by Yuri Simone @scorpyuri.bsky.social on trade offs in scorpions.
Vertebrate morphology writ large is welcome for abstracts:
anatomy of various body systems: absolutely!
biomechanics: yes!
development/evo-devo: indeed!
palaeontology: please!
morphometrics: yes!
methods-focused: sure!
morphology-related science (genetics, ecology, behaviour, etc.): affirmative!
Again, we're running the 1st ever virtual international conference on vertebrate morphology (ICVM) this August 7-10: www.isvm-icvm.org/icvm-2025
Abstracts are due 26 May (12 days)!
Of course you can just register and not submit abstract(s).
~3 days of great talks, posters, keynotes and more!
