Really cool work on sabre teeth here; produced by a fantastic group at @BristolPalaeo! Congrats to all authors. Great stuff! 😁🐅🦷

New paper about the functioning of saber teeth led by the amazing @TIPollock 🥳 combining 3DGM with biomechanical testing we identified functional optimality as a key driver underpinning the repeated evolution of extreme saber-tooth morphologies 🔪🦁 cell.com/current-biolog…

How do you test just how lethal the extraordinarily long canines of sabre-toothed cats like Smilodon were?

Sabre teeth are a classic example of convergence. Our new study, integrating 3D shape, biomechanics, and optimality modelling, helps explain why: revealing that functional optimality was a key driver behind the repeated evolution of extreme sabre-tooth morphologies🔪🦷 Link⬇️

For centuries, paleontologists have had to rely on intuition re whether reconstructed joint poses "look right." Today in @NatureComms: we created a way to formalize & test that intuition, & discovered that articular surface interactions distinguish locomotor poses in dinosaurs 🧵

Just trying something fun - the reconstructed evolutionary pathway of the jaw, from the ancestor of modern crocs to the American Alligator

Check out our new preprint and this awesome thread by @phyloprog on the use of chronospaces to assess the impact of methodological choices over time calibration of phylogenetic trees! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… github.com/mongiardino/ch…
Nicolás Mongiardino Koch@phyloprog

I am really happy to share a preprint that @millacarmonia and I just released, including our new R package chronospace, which includes novel tools to explore and visualize sensitivity in the estimation of divergence times 1/x biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A new monographic study led by our student @nicolas_brualla sheds light on the diversity and evolution of the vocal apparatus in bats 🦇. This study provides a robust foundation for future research into the evolution of echolocation in bats. Open access! doi.org/10.1093/zoolin…

Exploring biomechanics of Proterochampsa sheds light on unique features compared to modern crocs. Despite differences in adductor chamber, Proterochampsa's bite forces rival Alligator, revealing adaptations in S. Amer. archosauromorphs Simão-Oliveira et al doi.org/10.1002/ar.253…

A week ago I passed my PhD Viva!! Firstly, I would like to thank the examiners for the great discussion and their suggestions, and my supervisors Davide Pisani, @glpcjd @anariesgogil for guiding me through this marvelous and difficult journey on sponges' evolution! #PhDone
