I ❤️ marsupials, especially weird fossils, but I can't deny they aren't as diverse as placentals. Our new paper, out today & led by , uses jaw shape to show they also evolve more slowly, likely due to developmental constraints https://t.co/8GbDV2GarN

Our new paper is out ! The broadest 3D study of & skull diversity to date, sampling 391 species including stars & we show that skull evolution slowed down dramatically as birds took off. Check it out: https://t.co/O6bK6J9hc1 https://t.co/qz45SCGIa3

We then use those detailed data to reconstruct which parts of the skull evolve quickly (red dots) or more slowly (blue dots) & how different skull shapes relate to diet & habitat. In snakes, the fastest & most extreme changes happen in the parts that control opening their mouths!

To make this high resolution estimate of the ancestral snake, digitised ~1000 landmarks on over 180 skulls of living and extinct snakes, lizards, and their close relatives to analyse how the shape of the skull has evolved over 200 million years

Excited for today’s symposium by & ! Come to Ballroom C at 9:30am for lab member Carla Bardua’s talk about her PhD work on high-density phenomic analyses of the amphibian skull & hear more about how we collect & analyse data like this:
