Happy to share our latest paper! We combine nanoindentation and biomechanical modelling to investigate skull bone stiffness in Gallotia lizards, including extinct giant species, and its implications for palaeobiological inference. 📰 doi.org/10.3897/sjp....

Last PhD conference: SEB @sebiology.bsky.social in Florence. Had a great time alongside @johnnyakatura.bsky.social's lab! John also presented a great poster on our FEA project with Lisa Kean, in collaboration with Jordi @featunning.bsky.social Bonus: the Pisa natural history museum was incredible 🐳
Some days at TU Delft expanding knowledge and searching for new ideas and inspiration.
🦷🔬 Looking for PhD candidates with an engineering or a biological background. Fully funded PhD at @universitatURV on biomechanics & mechanical properties of vertebrate teeth ➡️Call opens in May here: www.urv.cat/en/research/... ➡️DM or email me for info.
Brand new paper about meshing in computational fluid dynamics simulations for organic geometries in paleobiology published in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social offering both practical guidance and structured comparison of meshing techniques in #CFD ➡️https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.70146
Tomorrow Friday at the #sebconference @sebiology.bsky.social I will be talking in the Open Biomechanics session about a new state-of-the-art computational biomechanics workflow to elucidate the kinetic nature of lizards during biting including suture and kinesis.
We have a poster with @fortunypaleobio.bsky.social @laiagarto.bsky.social in #sebconference @sebiology.bsky.social about nanoindentations in Gallotia skulls. Come and visit us!
Looking for postdoc candidates interested in #morphology #biomechanics #FEA to join a project on lepidosaur cranial kinesis in biology and engineering with me and @fortunypaleobio.bsky.social. Great opportunity to dive into state-of-the art interdisciplinary research! 📩 jordi.marce@urv.cat
With @tpuschel.bsky.social we wrote this text on #FEA models in #biomechanics: Models aren’t reality, just tools for specific questions. Comparing different models outside their context? Like apples & oranges. 📓Read more 👇
Saying what is better when comparing apples and oranges
" Models are not literal representations of reality but provide simplifications or substitutes of the events, scenarios or behaviours that are being studied or predicted. All models make...

We with @fortunypaleobio.bsky.social are presenting our last work in #PalAss24 using combined computational models in lizards to study cranial kinesis in Gallotias. #FEA #Musculoskeletal #Biomechanics
You can find in @peerj.bsky.social a review of non-linear Finite Element Analysis #FEA that can be helpful in #Anthropology #EvolutionaryStudies #Paleontology #Zoology and #Biomechanics ➡ peerj.com/articles/13890
Are you interested in learning about how engineering and physics can be applied to study the motions of #plants, #invertebrates, and #animals? Here's a non-exhaustive list of Comparative Biomechanists to get started! 🦋 🐟 🦎 🌿 🧪 go.bsky.app/HvHFgvB Apologies for any that I may have been missed.
