A recent study showed that horses appeared later (50 Mya) than what we previously thought (56 Mya) 🐎 Indeed, Hyracotherium (aka Eohippus - dawn horse) and Pliolophus are not horses nor even hippomorphs in this lattest phylogeny 🤯 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Right on time for #FossilFriday my lattest article is now online! 🎉 doi.org/10.1111/joa.... We propose a standardized methodological framework to study enamel histology in extinct species and identifiy enamel increments correctly, step by step.

If you missed my first poster Yesterday at the #SVP2025 come and see the 2nd one this afternoon! It’s about Notoungulates and enamel histology 🦷

Out now in Biology Letters, my latest paper tackles an apparently simple question: how many characters are needed to reconstruct a phylogeny? TL;DR: in most cases between 100 and 500, more than a substantial portion of morphological datasets, but the story is more complex... doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

New paper out! It was an honor to collaborate with the legend Leah Krubitzer on this review to show that paleontologists and neurobiologists working together can only improve our understanding of brain evolution 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s44... Full access to the paper: rdcu.be/eK167

Je partage ici le message d'un collègue argentin a qui je demandais des news. Glaçant 😱! La Méthode Milei (bel euphémisme gerbant) démantèle éducation&recherche, cible les savoirs qui comme aux US, gênent politiquement: climat&écologie, justice env. Le fascisme s'installe. Sommes-ns a l'abri en 🇪🇺?
