Thanks to @LeverhulmeTrust for supporting this research and letting us share more about it! We're really excited to figure out how the neck is moving and contributing to feeding on land and water.
Replying to @LeverhulmeTrust
Using advanced 3D imaging, @CampAriel and Daniel Schwarz explore the diversity of salamander necks to reveal their crucial role in the evolution of terrestrial feeding and land-dwelling vertebrates: leverhulme.ac.uk/research-pr… @LivEvoBiomech

Beautiful artwork of a beautiful fish! Like a cross between a pufferfish and a frogfish...I love it🥹
This bright red creature from a squishy toy’s fever dream was recently filmed by a ROV around a seamount near Chile as part of a #Falkortoo expedition gathering data for the #Seabed30 project. #fishart #scientificillustration #seatoad #toadfish #deepsea #exploration #oceannews
