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 🐳

Descubierta en el yacimiento conquense de Las Hoyas una nueva especie de ave del Cretácico con pico dentado. Se asemeja a un martín pescador y entronca con el grupo biológico de los 'Longipterygidae', que hasta ahora solo se habían documentado en China

By dressing it in its plumage, we gave it this appearance thanks to the incredible paleoart by Roc Olivé, with the help of paleo-ornithologist Juan Benito.

Here you can check out the original article, published in the #SwissJournalofPalaeontology 👇 sjp.pensoft.net/article/1828...

An isolated skull from Las Hoyas (Early Cretaceous, Spain) informs the early evolution towards elongated rostra in enantiornithine birds (Aves, Ornithothoraces)

The fossil record of Early Cretaceous enantiornithine birds from the Iberian Peninsula is the most significant in the world outside of China. Despite its historical relevance, taxonomic diversity, and...

Say👋 to *Gorgonavis alcyone*, the newest enantiornithine bird from the Early Cretaceous of Spain✨🐦 We welcome here the 1st adult cranial remains of a bird from the fossil site of Las Hoyas, and the 1st longipterygid out of China... Thread!!🧵👇 Paleart by Roc Olivé

These microevolutionary trends mirror patterns seen across millions of years of squamate evolution, highlighting tooth complexity as a powerful link between micro and macroevolution 🔗 Read more 👇

Recently published #AmniotaLabCollab!  How does development shape evolution? Using 3D skull data, this study shows that neural crest cells drive rapid skull changes within species of lizards.

More #AmniotaLab research!  Using micro-CT scans, Tomás Fornari and Johannes Müller show that the skull bones 🦴 of fully aquatic frogs 🐸 carry signals of both shared lifestyle and deep evolutionary history👇

New #AmniotaLab research! How well do computer models really predict bite force in living animals? 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 has just published this paper from her PhD, testing digital jaw models against real bite-force measurements in #lizards 🦎

#News&Views in @nature.com from Faysal Bibi spotlights a fascinating study: Ancient Arabia wasn’t always dry🏜️ Wetter periods over the past 7 million years may have opened key migration routes for animals and early humans 🚶‍♀️🌍 🔗https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00905-7

A wetter ancient Arabia could have enabled easier intercontinental species dispersal

Recurrent humid phases in Arabia over the past seven million years could have influenced how species, including human ancestors, moved between continents.
