New #GRAVIBONE paper from @rl-evobio.bsky.social showing how partial long bone analyses in 3DGM reveal a hidden modularity in the evolution of the sauropod bauplan from their bipedal cousins, with L. Partout & H. Mallison. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

🚨 Job alert! #PhD in #Biomechanics × #Neuroscience to study birdsong 🎵🐤 @mecadev.bsky.social and @neuropsi.bsky.social We are pre-selecting a candidate by April 15 to compete to InLife & IPV 2026 doctoral program (interview: May 20) 🔗 Full offer: sites.google.com/site/pauline... Please share!

Glad to see published a new #GRAVIBONE paper, which is the first paper from @clementine-tetaert.bsky.social, co-1st with @camillebader.bsky.social, and with Charlene Verbeke, on ankle bone adaptation to heavy weight in proboscideans. Congrats!! Well done! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Le hennissement du cheval cache deux sons distincts : un son grave et un son très aigu. Comment un animal aussi imposant réussit-il à produire une vocalisation à une fréquence aussi élevée ? Une nouvelle étude révèle que ses cordes vocales vibrent tandis que son larynx siffle. 🐎

🚨🦕 New dino paper alert! My co-authors Ronan Allain @houssayecnrs.bsky.social and I are pleased to inform the community that we’ve just published a new study on the locomotion of the ornithopods Iguanodon, Ouranosaurus and Lurdusaurus in @fr.pensoft.net We show that… ⬇️

Every other summer we run a fish biomechanics course at Friday Harbor Labs. It is an awesome opportunity to learn the tools of biovisualization while experiencing the rich fish diversity of the Salish Sea. Come join us! 🧪

SEB Florence will be having an exciting workshop on the new EXN - European XROMM Network! We're collecting information from those interested in attending, participating, and being looped in! Please share and DM me if you'd like to be on our mailing list! www.sebiology.org/events/seb-a...

Out in @nature.com today, we shake up the ornithischian family tree. Remember those weird Late Cretaceous iguanodontians, the rhabdodontids? Well they're weird because they aren't iguanodontians. They're ceratopsians. Well, at least some of them are... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As always, @arielcamp.bsky.social did a splendid job transcribing @kelseytstilson.bsky.social's oral presentation when he visited her lab as part of the @britishcouncil.bsky.social 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 Springboard program!

Yes, there were early plans to feature the Dodo (and the Solitaire) in Prehistoric Planet Ice Age.... What do we know about the life appearance of this remarkable bird? Actually a surprising amount, check this out... tetzoo.com/blog/2020/7/... #dodo #birds #ornithology

NEW METHODS ARTICLE: Phylogenetic GLMMs open doors to study evolution of discrete traits. We show how binary models extend to ordinal & nominal traits, using bird data, and provide tutorials to make these methods accessible to evolutionary biologists: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... Mizuno et al.

Check out our cover article by @timjanicke.bsky.social and colleagues about the role of sexual selection in animal speciation. academic.oup.com/evlett/artic.... The beautiful illustration is by Katharina Bóth.

Your body has tendons, your robots should too! Our new paper in Advanced Science highlights how adding tendons to muscle-powered “biohybrid” robots makes them 11X stronger. Check out this great MIT News feature of our work: news.mit.edu/2025/artific... #biohybrid #robotics #biomaterials

Joints aren’t just bones 🦴 Ligaments shape how vertebrates move New study by @oliverdemuth.bsky.social et al in @jexpbiol.bsky.social combines in silico & ex vivo #XROMM of the partridge shoulder to show how ligaments constrain motion 🐦 👉 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

🎶🐦 Happy to see @kelseytstilson.bsky.social share our #birdsong #biomechanics work at @bangoruniversity.bsky.social, during a visit to @kriscran.bsky.social lab as part of the UK–France 🇬🇧🇫🇷 Springboard Programme Now heading on to @arielcamp.bsky.social for the next round of scientific exchange

Louis XV’s rhinoceros enters the digital age 🦏✨ Thanks to the #e-COL+ project, its skeleton and taxidermy have been digitised in #3D, bringing together two historic @mnhn.fr treasures in a unique digital model! Full story here (also in English): ➡️ ecolplus.fr/le-rhinocero...

Capturing animal #3D movement is tricky — multiple cameras, precise calibration, complex setups and analyses 🙃 Can’t wait to try this new single-camera method, making lab and wildlife motion studies simpler and cheaper! Published in #OpenAccess in Movement Ecology : 👉 doi.org/10.1186/s404...

New study in @currentbiology.bsky.social reveals pterosaur brains evolved rapidly at the origin of flight — unlike the gradual reshaping seen in birds. Most complete lagerpetid brain cast shows side‑placed optic lobes like pterosaurs and bird precursors 🧠 👉 www.cell.com/current-biol...

#Birds vs #bats: both fly, but birds do more! 🦇 🐦 The bat wing ties arms & legs together, so they can’t diversify as much as birds. Check the nice study in @natecoevo.nature.com with beautiful visuals 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The palaeonto & geological collections of LGL-TPE (lgltpe.fr/tous-platefo...) are being modernised to make their treasures more accessible thanks to @e-colplus.bsky.social V. Genillon (M1 TPE, UCBL/ENS Lyon) is contributing to the digitisation of #Afrotheria, including sirenians and proboscideans.

Nice summary of many years of research on babies' cries by @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social and his team. "Caring is a skill that is honed through practice, and it physically reshapes the brain of any dedicated caregiver, male or female." theconversation.com/what-babies-...

I’ve released a tool to sketch and edit phylogenetic trees! yawak.jp/PhyloWeaver/ Load a Newick file and intuitively add/remove/resize branches. Useful for quick conceptual trees, extracting subtrees, or turning ideas into Newick.

10 years ago, the London NHM cleverly manufactured a controversy when they announced they'd be replacing Dippy the Diplodocus in their main hall with a blue whale skeleton. Long story short, the whale rules, in spite of its notable handicap of not being a dinosaur. 🧵
