It's been the most fun science I've done for a long time...visiting @ansto.bsky.social synchrotron to scan huge shark heads with @draliceclement.bsky.social

‪[1/n] New paper co-lead by @emmadnn.bsky.social‬ @macroecoevoale.bsky.social‬ and I: we combined fossil occurrences, biogeography and climate modelling to investigate the origins and early evolution of pterosaurs 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Oh like the Ninja Turtle in Go Extinct! Megafauna! I will ruthlessly exploit the opportunity to plug that this and 29 other drawings of Australian (mega)fauna is freely available CC-BY-SA on Wikimedia Commons, link is on: epicaustralia.org.au/resource/goe... @wikimediafoundation.org

Pleased to say that the final chapter of my PhD is out today in Nature Ecology and Evolution: www.nature.com/articles/s41... My favourite bit of science that I've done to date. If you enjoy biogeography, weird reptiles, and the TARDIS, then have a read!

Wildlife belongs in the wild, not hung up on walls as decoration. That's why we're urging Amazon to join Etsy and eBay and stop selling painted woolly bats so their populations can again flourish in the wild — where they belong. Add your voice. ⬇️

🗺️ Ever wander to a new place and think, "Hmm I wonder what birds/plants/[insert favourite taxonomic group] I can find here?" 🔍 We built {infinitylists} 📋 to help nature lovers create personalised, location-based taxon lists! 🌏

And that’s the fourth and final chapter of my PhD published! More wormholes in whale bones, including earliest cetacean occurrence with three ichnospecies. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

What a brilliant idea! Now let's find a way of getting dead white men's names off those charts :-)

Laurel Nave-Powers is scanning sand lance to do cranial morphometrics on different species. She just got her first volume rendering of her own scans. Very exciting. #scanAllFish 🧪

We postponed the deadline to June 22, so there is still a bit less than two weeks to apply!

If government really took this issue seriously it could be fixed very quickly and everyone—most importantly Australia's wildlife and ecosystems—would be far better off www.abc.net.au/news/rural/p...

Decided there's not enough lizards in the #ColorsOfSkullAnatomy collection 🦎 So, new to the gang: Phyllurus platurus (southern leaf tail gecko). An Aussie lizard of course, and one of the 1st specimens I scanned at Florida Museum in 2021 www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/leaftail-gecko-skull-anatomy/

Thylacines. A3 private commission. A pair of Tasmanian wolves chase a pademelon (a sort of Tasmanian wallaby) My first time doing a thylacine. Definitely my first time going a pademelon.

Belated shoutout to @draliceclement.bsky.social for the incredible claw print paper that came out last week in Nature!

Finally decided to claw my back out of social media oblivion...so nice to see all the best people here 🥰.
