Hey everyone! Check out our new paper on the evolution of cranial kinesis in birds out in PNAS! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We used 3D muscle modeling, linkage mechanics, and phylo methods to investigate feeding across the dino-bird transition 🦖🐦‍⬛(1/?)

🚨 Cretaceous bird diets varied as much as modern #bird diets & both evolved over similar time spans @eLife 🚨 Synthesis of @PaleoCase’s PhD work supervised by me & @BeekGeak in collaboration w/ #XLWang & #XTZheng: elifesciences.org/articles/89871 #fossils @CUHKScience @CUHKofficial #biodiversity
Case Vincent Miller, PhD@PaleoCase

#Enantiornithine birds were the dominant birds of the #Cretaceous, and our new study suggests that their #diets were as varied as living birds! Not only that, but they evolved this #diversity in #diet at a rate comparable to that of modern birds! (1/17)

Another job opening! I am hiring a postdoc in my lab at University College London to work on developing new phylogenetic comparative methods for modeling the evolution of complex phenotypes! Details here: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Any of my geology faculty friends have ig/met petrology and/or remote sensing course materials they’d be willing to share with a lovely friend of mine in her first year of being a professor? Thanks in advance, from both me and @lisgallant!

Having just finished a #PhD with Jen as co-supervisor I can confirm she's great to work under. If you want to #FindAPhD and have any love of #birds , #FEA , and even #biomechanics and #FunctionalMorphology in general I highly recommend you apply 🙂🦜
