Congratulations @dannyrhoda.bsky.social on defending your PhD yesterday at University of Chicago!!

My paper on Mesocyon is finally out! This will be part of a special issue on John Day Fossils Beds National Monument. Art by Kaori Chambers www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

this is ofc stephen jay gould making me cry about some rocks 🥲

Hey y'all. I'm a month late to this, but I wanted to share that one of my PhD chapters was published in Systematic Biology with my advisor, Frank Burbrink. Here, we explore how ecological opportunity influences phenotypic evolution in North American natricid snakes. 🧵/8

Vous voulez faire une thèse sur l'évolution de la tête des squamates au Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle? C'est par ici: adum.fr/as/ed/voirpr... Interested in a PhD on the evolution of the head shape of squamates at the Museum of Natural History of Paris? Here you go: adum.fr/as/ed/voirpr...

Nice new study by Martinez & Jenkins on procolophonid #parareptile tooth morphology & dietary #evolution ⬇️ Great to see their quantitative comparison to living reptiles 🦎 to infer procolophonid feeding habits 🍽️ #Paleontology #Science #Permian #Triassic www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

🚨New paper alert🚨 Check out our new paper on the biomechanics of hearing in our cynodont ancestors! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... (1/n)

Congratulations to UMMP Associate Research Scientist Miriam Zelditch on the release of the third edition of the indispensable "Geometric Morphometrics for Biologists" (a.k.a. the green book)! #FossilFriday

No better reason to join Bluesky then to say the first chapter of my PhD is out as a preprint! New surgeonfish phylogeny, ecomorphological relationships, evolutionary shape correlations-with NEW method to accurately account for phylogenetic covariation among shapes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper alert!!!🚨 in our new study we find that Antarctic icefishes added a new module in their skulls during their adaptive radiation special shout out to @mayaranevesbio.bsky.social who led this project! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I'm so excited to share my latest paper out now! How did the ancestors of mammals make the switch from sprawling to upright, taking over the world in the process? Spoiler alert; it's complicated! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

I am looking for a PhD candidate to work on the morphological and functional evolution of the head shape of limbless squamates. The project will involve evolutionary biology, experimental and computational biomechanics, and a lot of scaly animals!!! More info here: adum.fr/as/ed/voirpr...
