Pleased to share our latest special issue: Feeding biomechanics in vertebrates & beyond! The issue brings together studies spanning insects, fishes & mammals to explore feeding biomechanics anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494... Guest Editors: Böhmer & Winkler

So proud of our Summer Veterinary Research Scholars! Today they gave their practice poster presentations before heading off to present their research at an upcoming national conference. Great work and safe travels to Isabel Piccinini, JC Cruz & Jessica Cavaliere! @squeacslab.bsky.social

African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) paper now in @anatrecord.bsky.social's Feeding Biomechanics Special Issue! Using dissection & diceCT, we show powerful bites aren't just about bigger muscles—muscle architecture, skull mechanics & fascia may be key🐺 anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Honored to have been part of this award-winning special issue and grateful to see our work recognized with a 2026 APEX Award for Publication Excellence! Congratulations to the guest editors, authors, reviewers, and everyone who contributed to highlighting the incredible fossil record of China

The Anatomical Record@anatrecord.bsky.social · last wk.

AR has received an APEX Award for Publication Excellence for the special issue "Looking into Chinese Fossils: Paleobiology, Evolution, and Biodiversity", which showcases exceptional fossil discoveries from China—from ancient dinosaurs to insects anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494...

📢 Call for Papers: The Anatomical Record is seeking submissions for a Special Issue on Strepsirrhine Anatomy, Ecology, and Evolution. We welcome original research, reviews & commentaries exploring strepsirrhine functional anatomy, phenotypic plasticity & evolutionary history 🐒 📅 Deadline: November 1

Excited to receive print copies of the latest issue of Lithodendron, which includes our recent article on Campanian Ophiomorpha fossils from the Menefee Fm.-Cliff House Sandstone transition, San Juan Basin, New Mexico! Link to the article: petrifiedforestfieldinstitute.org/lithodendron...

Excellent time at San Diego Natural History Museum's "Nat at Night" event last weekend, featuring dire wolves, Ankylosaurus, Lambeosaurus, assorted turtles, grey whales, and more! 🦖🐢🐋

Check out our new August issue! anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494... The cover features a new 3D anatomical atlas of the heads of the veiled chameleon, Chamaeleo calyptratus by Alice Leavey et al.: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

⭐ We're pleased to share that our Impact Factor has increased to 2.6! While IF is only one bibliometric measure of journal influence, it's still encouraging to see this positive trajectory. Thank you to our authors, reviewers, editorial board members & readers for their contributions and support!

📢Call for Papers! Following up on our successful session at the recent GSA Rocky Mountain section meeting, we're excited to announce we're assembling a Special Issue of The Anatomical Record: The Campanian Crucible: A synthesis of vertebrate paleobiogeography and ecosystem dynamics in Laramidia

🦈 San Juan Basin Paleo Project's outreach fossil prep activity at the latest SPS meeting was a great time! Ben Goode gave an excellent presentation on our recent Cliff House research. Then we set up a hands-on activity where attendees could prep & extract fossil teeth from blocks we collected

📣 New issue out now! The Anatomical Record (Vol. 309, Issue 7) From duck-billed dinosaur bone microstructure 🦖 to dire wolf debates 🐺 and rare cetacean anatomy 🐬—explore the latest in evolutionary & integrative anatomy. 🔗 anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494...

🐉 Had a blast doing STEM outreach at Phoenix Fan Fusion! We brought real animal skulls for a “Predator vs Prey” challenge & 3D‑printed a Gungan, Predator alien & dragon‑looking (but real!) Pachycephalosaurus. Turns out Predator isn’t built for predation…and Gungans are basically all cartilage!

Excited to share the Menefee Paleontology Project’s latest publication! 🦐 We explored Upper Cretaceous Cliff House Sandstone in NM San Juan Basin & uncovered new insights into ancient marine ecosystems preserved in this dynamic coastal environment: petrifiedforestfieldinstitute.org/lithodendron...

Our June issue is now out! anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494... The cover article by Taylor et al. features a new bone and cartilage staining protocol for large avian specimens: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The Menefee Paleo Project wrapped up our awesome 3-week New Mexico research trip with a productive collections visit at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. We even met a few San Juan Basin celebrities, the holotypes of Bistahieversor and Menefeeceratops!

Our second week in the field kicked off with a move up-section into the Cliff House Sandstone. We focused on a gorgeous marine assemblage packed with chondrichthyans, marine reptiles (incl mosasaurs) & bony fishes Huge thanks to Bravo Crew for the muscle, sharp eyes, and great energy all week!

Super proud of the Menefee Paleo project crew who did an awesome job presenting at the GSA Rocky Mountain section meeting!

What a fantastic few days at GSA Rocky Mountain Section meeting! Our Campanian Crucible session delivered ten sharp, engaging talks spanning new geochronology, dinosaurs, turtles, and Campanian mammals, and 4 excellent posters. Huge thanks to all presenters, poster authors, and attendees!

The Menefee Paleo Project just wrapped up an incredible first week of 2026 fieldwork with our awesome crew. Huge thanks to the amazing Menefee team for the hard work, good humor, & long days under the sun of the New Mexico badlands. Can’t wait to welcome the Week 2 Bravo crew! #Menefee2026

🦖 2026 Field season is almost here for the Menefee Paleontological Project! 🐊 We're heading out to San Juan Basin, NM this weekend, where we’ll be working on Campanian fauna from Menefee & Cliff House Sandstone Fms. Hoping to find more dinos, crocs, sharks, mosasaurs, and of course, turtles! 🐢

Excited to share that the Menefee Paleo Project has several abstracts accepted for the Campanian Crucible session at the Geological Society of America (GSA) Rocky Mountain Section Meeting in Albuquerque this May!

Congratulations to Courtney Miller for winning American Association for Anatomy 2026 Early Career Publication award in The Anatomical Record for her paper, Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Excited to invite everyone to our session at GSA “The Campanian Crucible: A synthesis of vertebrate paleobiogeography and ecosystem dynamics in Laramidia" 🗓️ Tuesday, May 19 ⏰ 8:00–11:40 AM 📍 Alvarado C 🏔️ GSA Rocky Mountain Section Meeting, Albuquerque Awesome logo design by @tuttran.bsky.social 🤘

Shout out to my awesome Midwestern University research students who rocked their presentations at the Anatomy Connected conference last week! #Anatomy26

And that’s a wrap on Anatomy Connected 2026! Thanks to @anatomyorg.bsky.social for another amazing conference. It’s always an honor to represent @anatrecord.bsky.social, and a joy to hear about the latest exciting research in our field and connect with colleagues and friends.

Great symposium at Anatomy Connected yesterday on navigating the publication landscape and ethical publishing behavior by the 3 @anatomyorg.bsky.social journals. Thanks to all who came out! @anatrecord.bsky.social @asejournal.bsky.social @organjm.bsky.social

Proud of my Midwestern University research students who did a fabulous job presenting their research at the on-campus Kenneth A Suarez Research Day on Friday!

Fun visit last week to the American Museum of Natural History! Such impressive displays of giant fossil turtles, dinos, and more. #FossilFriday

🐢 I had a fantastic time visiting Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai University and giving a guest lecture on turtle evolution! Turtle evolution provides a unique window into the biology of skeletal form, function, and adaptation
