After 3 years of culminated data, I'm proud to present our most recent paper: Anatomical variation in the external vasculature of the human heart: A cadaveric investigation of dominance in coronary artery branching and cardiac venous drainage Congrats to all! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper alert from the SQuEACs lab! My students report on two unique cases of anatomical variation in the human lumbar plexus. #anatomy www.cureus.com/articles/392...

what is environmental variability and how can you measure it? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @mingpapilio.bsky.social

Thanks to all who listened to our talk! It was great to be part of such an excellent session. #ICVM2025

The SQuEACs lab has been busy since #SICB2025 writing papers, making posters, and scanning more things. Sometimes it’s nice to get out to nature though.

Mustelid nap time! Look at those toe beans 😍

Exciting fellowship with the USGS for graduate students on diverse knowledgr systems in climate adaptation. Just make sure your projects include Indigenous data sovereignty ! www.usgs.gov/programs/cli...

We did and we love them!

Megan Hostetter taught #SICB2025 yesterday about the central nervous system of the river frog tadpole and how its development may be altered from exposure to heavy metals.

So proud of the SQuEACs lab this week at #SICB2025. Yesterday, Sofia Barajas presented on evolution and variation in the PAX6 gene of gnathostomes. Fish and amphibians are doing some crazy things!

Congratulations to Kory Evans @sternarchella.bsky.social, winner of this year’s @J_Exp_Biol sponsored Carl Gans Award at #SICB2025. His #biomechanics research examines the role of modularity in the evolution of the #fish skull. Don't miss his talk: 7 Jan at 13:30 in Marquis D Please repost

Intraspecific variation for the win!

#SICB2025 if you’re interested in mammals and what they’ve taught us about organismal focused evolution, come check out our DPCB chair’s special session and the amazing talks within!

SQuEACs lab kicked off day 4 of #SICB2025 in the DPCB chair’s special session discussing variation in the vestibular system of river otters.

#SICB2025 thanks for a great discussion at our DPCB Ask an Expert Booth. We’re thrilled to have so many wonderful experts the rest of the week! Come chat with us about stays, R, morphometric, trees and more!

#SICB2025 ever wonder how heavy metals alter DNA in wild populations of frogs? Come see Rafa Rios’s poster today!

SQuEACs lab is being represented today at #SICB2025 by Hansan Jones talking about his awesome work on variation in the vestibular system of river otters. Come check Out his poster.

Thanks to all #SICB2025 attendees to our @nocturnetwork.bsky.social CT workshop! If you missed the workshop but have CT questions or want cool swag check out our booth!

#SICB2025 starts today! Kicking off with our @nocturnetwork.bsky.social workshop. Can’t wait to see everyone there and chat CT!

New year means a new bird list! I successfully had my highest year yet last here of 292 species. Let’s make this year 300! #birding

Happy new year to all! May it be full of mustelids, science, love and happiness.

Packs bags and binoculars

Otters! At the Tianyu Lights Festival

No surprise here if otters save the world!

2 pine martens in my feed in 1 day! It is my birthday! I dare anyone to boop that snoot though 💕

I have studied pine martens for years and only ever seen 1 in the wild. Elusive and wonderful little tube monsters.

Yep

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Happy Sunday to everyone. May it be full of bright colors and flowers

AZ winter hasn’t exactly hit yet so I give you #garden #flowers. This giant is a Hong Kong orchid.

This startling is stunning! I need to start making poster themes off birds I think 🧐

#SICB2025 is coming up! the SQuEACs lab is making talks and posters! Here's a glimpse at some of the awesome work done by my veterinary student, Megan, who is describing variation in #brain morphology among wild populations of Lithobates #tadpoles.

The SQuEACs lab was busy this week submitting abstracts to #anatomyconnected2025 if you’re attending come learn about #environmental effects on otter inner ears, variation in #BMP4 genes from #heavymetals and human carotid artery variation!

New #ColorsOfSkullAnatomy #3Dmodel drop! If you've attended one of my workshops you'll recognise this #rattlesnake! You can view it here: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/rattlesnake-... & on Sketchfab here: skfb.ly/psEUY Download via #MorphoSource here: www.morphosource.org/concern/medi...

Phoenix #desertbotanicalgarden had an amazing holiday light event tonight (and all month) full of live music, dance and art. Truly a wonderful experience.

Omg it’s #friday that’s all I have to say about that. Here’s a cute otter to kick off your #weekend

Happy #weasel #wednesday. Check out this cutie! Pine martens are the coolest, occupying a unique niche in the trees and on the ground. My lab has focused on understanding their genetics and morphological evolution through time.

And now for something completely different, but still brains... I'm thrilled to have been a part of this study looking at microbial presence within the human brain and its link to #Alzheimer's disease. #brain #science www.mdpi.com/2076-3425/14...

#SICB2025 if you use CT data come check out our @nocturnetwork.bsky.social booth, where we will have resources available for making your CT data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable #FAIR. See the link on where to find us and what we're about. sicb2025.expofp.com?nocturn-non-...

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)

Thank you for all who signed up for our #SICB2025 workshop. We're now at capacity. If you're interested in the workshop, but didn't get registered in time we'll be hosting a booth in the vendor area where we'll be providing @nocturnetwork.bsky.social resources and swag. Come check it out!

While I study mustelids, wolves are by far my favorite animals. Just stunning and so vital for the ecosystem.

It's my final plug. We have 2 spots left in this workshop so if you're attending #SICB2025 and work with or want to work with CT data register below!

My first watermelon of the season (and ever actually )! It was sweet but not overly so and full of seeds for next year 💕 this is a crimson sweet watermelon. Seeds from Native Seeds www.nativeseeds.org/products/ts263

Some days it’s the little things that make you pause and bring joy. This morning it’s peach blossoms in my yard. #gardening #blooms Happy Thanksgiving
