Evolution of the bird skeleton is more than the sum of its parts. Highlights: -High resolution CT scans of 330 bird species -More than 250,000 points clicked -Structural scales ranging from local shape variation of individual bones, up to the whole* skeleton (*many parts)

Guillermo Navalón@GNavalon

Very excited to see our work published in @Nature! We present 1 of the most comprehensive characterisations of 3D #shape across (almost) the whole #skeleton in a group of land #vertebrates. Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Correction: 230 bird sampled, not 330. But in fact, I scanned more than 500 birds in preparation for the work. My arm aches from opening and closeing the big lead (Pb) doors of the scanner.

Thanks Arnau for writing an excellent summary of our new lizard discovery!

This week's #FossilFriday is our tiny wee lizard from #Skye, Bellairsia gracilis. The skull is amazing - only the tip of the snout is missing, worn away by the hungry sea. You can download meshes and CT data for this specimen from @MorphoSource via: morphosource.org/projects/00000…

@JamesAl04100080 True. And if you like that, you should check out a frogmouth skeleton.

Passerines have a ridiculously big head compared to their body.

Today in @Nature we published a spectacular near-complete stem squamate skeleton from Middle #Jurassic of #Scotland! 😍 Bellairsia gracilis is the most complete fossil lizard of this age in the world, & helps us understand the origins of the group. [1/8] nature.com/articles/s4158…

We found this tiny fossil lizard, 170 million years old. It is a close outgroup of the squamate crown-group, based on exceptional synchrotron tomography. nature.com/articles/s4158… Thanls to great collaborators, Mateusz Talanda, Elsa Panciroli, Vincent Fernandez, Susan Evans.

Funny story... Paper here: rdcu.be/cYkmZ

Dr Elsa Panciroli@gsciencelady

I found the wee fossil of Bellairsia (just 6cm long!) in 2016 on my first ever fieldwork to the #IsleofSkye with @BensonLabOxford, Stig Walsh (@NtlMuseumsScot), & @ButlerLabBham. 'It's just a splodge of algae', they said. But it has teeth, I replied... 😆 [4/8]

@BensonLabOxford This looks great. And that seems to be two papers in today's Nature with you as senior author (albeit with different initials). Cause for celebration, I'm sure. Congratulations!

Things you probably didn't know about the semicircular canals of turtles: (1) Turtles have large semicircular canals, proportionally similar to birds. (2) Turtle canal shapes have much to do with skull aspect ratio, and nothing to do with locomotion. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Palaobiologists must analytically address the spatial sturcture of our main dataset – The Fossil Record. Here are some tools that help you do this! Gwen did an amazing job.
