New paper out in Methods in Ecology and Evolution 🎉🎉🎉! I present Integration_Patterns, an R framework for comparing covariation patterns across groups (1/6) Open access: doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Comparing morphological integration patterns across groups using angular distances between <fc>PLS</fc> covariation axes

Morphological integration describes coordinated covariation among traits arising from shared developmental, functional, or genetic interactions and plays an important role in shaping evolutionary ...

We use data from ~2,000 individuals and 41 species to show that factors such as encephalization and bipedalism explain why at population level we are so predominantly right-handed (no other primate species shows it this strongly) www.ox.ac.uk/news/2026-05... @oxford-anthro.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

We are looking for a DNA lab manager! The position is for a Senior Scientist (maternity replacement) in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology here in Vienna. Come and work with us in the wonderful fields of ancient DNA and archaeology!! 🧬💀 Link below: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Senior-S...

We discovered a nearly complete bison skeleton in the Sima de Arrafela (Urbasa-Andia Natural Park, Navarre). Dated to ~4000 BP, the remains include a Chalcolithic copper arrowhead embedded between the ribs. This is the most recent bison found in the Iberian Peninsula www.youtube.com/watch?v=GELB...

📣 New Paper Alert! 🤲👣 Delighted to share our work on the coevolution of hands and feet in modern humans. We find strong integration between autopods, with feet driving the process, likely in response to functional pressures linked to bipedalism. doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...

This week I had the opportunity to speak about challenges in reconstructing hominin pelvic remains, at the University of Cambridge. This was possible thanks to the organization of an AMAZING workshop by my dear colleagues @juliaramendi.bsky.social and @mikelarlegi.bsky.social (1/n).

Only one month to go until the symposium "From Anatomy to Behaviour: Challenges and Solutions in Studying Hominin Postcranial Evolution" ☺️ Sign up to attend in person, or contact us to join online. Find more info here: 👇 www.eventbrite.com/e/from-anato...

From Anatomy to Behaviour

Join us to explore the challenges and solutions provided by virtual anatomy techniques in the study of hominin postcranial evolution.
