We demonstrated the method on Trix (RGM.792000) the rex in the collection of , . Trix has fantastic preservation of the tail vertebrae, allowing us to perform a 3D muscular & ligament reconstruction.

That’s a no brainer , gotta be my family first and foremost (pic courtesy of ). My second has to be stream ecology and the invertebrates that inhabit them

asks how did paired fins emerge over evolution? Fate mapping in the skate embryo indicates an ancestral mesodermal contribution to the jawed vertebrate gill arch skeleton. See recent paper with :

'The neck's best thing'
Azhdarchid Pterosaurs, largest flying animals ever, had much longer necks than giraffes! have just observed a unique structure in vertebrae which 'spoked volumes' & made them possible.

Niv's working hard to put together every bit of clinical evidence she can, mapping entheses expected to be affected. For example, in ALS we often see neck extensor weakness ("dropped head syndrome")- we should be able to see that change quite clearly in the vertebrae! 7/8

My brain is away with early Jurassic marine reptiles this so here's the mural I did of Rhomaleosaurus and friends for in 2018. We put this together pretty quickly - I wanted more fish and invertebrates but time wasn't on our side.

The diplodocus, a large sauropod (long-neck), holds the record for having the longest tail! It sported around 80 caudal vertebra (wayyy more than any other sauropod); some scientists believe it could have used its tail like a whip to hit attacking predators

I officially have a PhD! 🎓🎉 I worked in evo-devo of shark teeth and evolution of vertebral mineralisation in cartilaginous fishes!🦈Still fond of chondrichthyans 😁

Gonna call this done. @/skumhuu 's Leviathantale featuring Oops God Of Reality: Legacy. He's a pikaia, once thought to be the evolutionary source of all vertebrates. (Zom is there too, for size. He's a Stygiomedusa Gigantea)
Original art in the bottom left is Sku's!! For size!!!

What a great end to the week! My student 's new paper is out now in ! We've been working for years on understanding modularity patterns in the vertebrate skull, but how do these patterns stack up within a species? Find out now! https://t.co/eR8vfVVFFM

Phylogeny is one of my favorite subjects. Well of course, I study it. But it also connects you to every species that has ever lived on Earth! I drew this vertebrate phylogeny in 2015 as an undergrad. It needs many updates... https://t.co/JW7e8Z1RRb
