Through geometric morphometrics and R-based modeling, this tool enables the adjustment of morphospace parameters to simulate shape transitions. Working in progess

The rphylopic package allows users to add silhouettes of organisms from the PhyloPic database to plots generated in base R and ggplot2.

Very happy to present a poster this evening at @sebiology.bsky.social conference in Florence! I will be talking about preliminary results on the role of larynx and hyoid in birds vocal complexity, as part of my PhD work. 🦜🎶

New in @journalofanatomy.bsky.social 70201 "Musculo-skeletal variation in the forelimb of two highly specialised diggers (genus Talpa)" cross-team collaboration for ISYEB ! Klein, E., Houssin, C., Delapre, A., Nicolas, V., Cornette, R. @isyeb.mnhn.fr et al. doi-org.inee.bib.cnrs.fr/10.1111/joa....

Nouvel article #MECADEV avec R. Allemand @remi-allemand.bsky.social et A. Herrel @anthony-herrel.bsky.social et al. sur les endocrânes des lézards sans pattes. Des museaux qui se ressemblent, des endocrânes qui divergent. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

The final chapter of my PhD is out!! What happens when graviportal taxa get dwarfed? We explore this in dwarf elephantids from the Mediterranean Sea, looking at the inner and outer anatomy of limb long bones. 🐘📄 With @houssayecnrs.bsky.social and U. B. Göhlich #GRAVIBONE doi.org/10.1111/pala...

New blog post! 🚨 Nyniane Steinkampf–Pellecuer, Idriss Pelletan and Pauline Provini tell us the story behind their new paper 'SOUPE: An R package to test and optimise the phylogenetic and ecological representativeness of a taxonomic sample' Read here👇

Very glad that our new #GRAVIBONE paper led by C. Etienne is out. It describes microanatomical adaptations in the forelimb long bones in rhinos (with high resolution scans of these large bones) & notably introduces our new approach for trabecular bone mapping. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper, 1st paper from Roman Ocana, on the effects of captivity on the microanatomy of the talus in the wild boar, with Thomas Cucchi & @camillebader.bsky.social. Congrats Roman!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

My first paper is out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1111/2041... With @idriss-pelletan.bsky.social and @paulineprovini.bsky.social, we developed SOUPE, a new method and R package to evaluate the phylogenetic representativeness of taxonomic samples, and help create optimized samples.
