3 in a row and more to come! Another student's thesis @BoehmerGroup @kieluni is published! Quantification of disparity in the mammalian head-#neck system. 🧵[1/2] Böhmer & Ocak 2024 J Morphology Covariation in the craniocervical junction of #Carnivora doi.org/10.1002/jmor.70009

Our results show that the form of the first cervical #vertebra, in particular, is related to the respective function. Amongst others, predator species (large prey) have an atlas with large muscle attachment surfaces to enable powerful movements of the head-#neck system. 🧵[2/2]

🚨 New Paper 🚨 Our team @NYITAnatomy used #microCT and #GMM to examine how changes in muscle loading affects skull development in chicks. This one is particularly special because it marks the first experimental #embryology study out of my lab 🐣 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

🦴Check out our new paper describing the internal anatomy of the long-necked tanysaurians, showing that bizarre inner vertebral anatomy is not restricted to dinosaurs and pterosaurs. This is part of the PhD work of Adam Rytel. Watch out for much more! doi.org/10.1093/zoolinnean/z…

Excited for this one to get published! @rfelice and I investigate how integration and evolutionary rate influence the evolution of the avian neck, and it's #OpenAccess @CIA_UCL @BMCBiology bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/ar… (DM for PDF)

🐀🦷Dental microwear patterns in rats vary by tooth position and bite force. As rats mature, M3 becomes more engaged in chewing w/bite force 1.4x higher than M1. Important to use fully occluded teeth in dietary reconstructions By @laellyn1, @VertEvo et al: doi.org/10.1002/ar.25595

#DMTA and quantitative #muscle #dissections reveal differences in microwear between younger and older #rats. Our study led by Winkler @laellyn1 highlights the need to consider both tooth position and developmental stage when using #tooth wear patterns to reconstruct diet. [2/2]

A recent study by @tito_aureliano et al. evaluated the changes in the skeleton of dinosaurs of the bird lineage. It detected a progressive increase in pneumatization from the ceratosaur lineage to the branch that includes raptors. Read more here: doi.org/10.1111/joa.14113
