A novel approach to quantifying mammal locomotor repertoires using scoring and cluster analysis Abstract. Describing behaviour using qualitative categories is a staple of studies on tetrapod functional morphology, ecology and evolution. However, such

New paper out! The first from @osteosophia.bsky.social 's PhD - a new (hopefully more objective) way for categorising locomotor repertoires. With @eloygl.bsky.social @livevobiomech.bsky.social and Laura Fitton: royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments v...

New paper out! From @livevobiomech.bsky.social with small contributions from me @ucl-c4ia.bsky.social , all ably led by Alice Maher - a very comprehensive look at scaling in the head and neck across tetrapods. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Family Event: Amazing Anatomy The Grant Museum has a takeover day in partnership with UCL Centre for Integrative Anatomy. Pre-book for 11:00, drop-in 12:00 - 14:00

Take part in activities celebrating World Anatomy Day! Join us on 18 October and find out how our museum is used for cutting-edge approaches to study ecology, evolution and skeletal anatomy.

New paper out today with the amazing @apwoodbailey.bsky.social all about the unusual leporid intracranial joint.

This is a horrible smear campaign. @toriherridge.bsky.social is highly qualified to comment on the de-extinction debate and as someone who's published and co-supervised with her, I can confidently say you'd be hard pushed to find anyone with more academic integrity.

Yes, supposedly

Why does this dwarf goat look so goofy? If you want to be the person that finds out, why not apply for this funded PhD with me at UCL, @evoswami.bsky.social at the NHM and Jesse Hennekam at Maastricht: tinyurl.com/mphf2hd9
