Very glad that our new #GRAVIBONE paper led by C. Etienne is out. It describes microanatomical adaptations in the forelimb long bones in rhinos (with high resolution scans of these large bones) & notably introduces our new approach for trabecular bone mapping. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
New paper out in @journalofanatomy.bsky.social ! With @CyrilETIENNE and @houssayecnrs.bsky.social, we explored how limb bone inner structure varies across bovids of different sizes and habitats.
