How does the BL change through time? Is the evolution polarity the same in different families? We used to explore shape variation of the inner ear, and test evolutionary rates within phylogeny for significant shifts cute illustration 🙂

We have a new paper out today in CR How to retrodeform asymmetrical fossils (such as limb bones) using 3D geometric morphometrics and thin plate splines (TPS), accounting for intraspecific morphological variation. https://t.co/w8AhcSbobe

After months of segmenting, landmarking, & coding, I'm pleased to announce that I'll be presenting some dissertation results at next week. I'm in the DVM Best Student Poster Session, Tues 3:30-4:30. Stop by to chat about geometric morphometrics & axial regionalization!

By analysing the 3D fang models using and measuring the sharpness in key functional areas we were able to observe the variation present across different diets and across the venomous snake families.

I really want to do a plate with all approx. 16 taxa in the neotropical Dendropsophus leucophyllatus group (Clown Treefrogs) They are such charismatic treefrogs, they differ in details of color pattern and morphometrics. Here is a WIP
