Fresh ink! We look at how the skulls of rock-wallabies change with size and how size influences jaw anatomy and biting ability The tiniest species seem to be particularly good at biting @WeisbeckerLab @MegL_Martin royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

But this review isn't just about skulls. We show how phylogenetic tests of allometry can be a problem when size correlates with phylogeny. As one reviewer said, it's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater! @DrEmSherratt @WeisbeckerLab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…
