New paper in Paleobiology! We explore how headshield processes in ostracoderms functioned like control surfaces on planes — helping these early vertebrates stabilize and maneuver in water. CFD + fossil fish = 🦴✈️💨 @8VicenteSanchez @OSanisidro @Macro_Fun Thread 👇

We were very lucky to have our colleague Juan Cantalapiedra (@singerstone) visiting us for a very exciting collaboration! Yesterday we enjoyed his great talk on megaherbivore macroevolution 🦣🌿 Looking forward to more work together! @ICBiBE_UV

Back home from #PalAss24, where I presented an exciting project I've been working on with @Ferron_HG, Elsa Leflaëc @Macro_Fun and Óscar Sanisidro on the evolution of headshield morphology and hydrodynamics in early vertebrates!

🌟 Exciting news! Elena will be joining our team to work on her MSci thesis, exploring the aerodynamics of lepidopteran wing scales and their fascinating role in the context of angiosperm coevolution. 🦋🌺 #Evolution #Biomechanics #Lepidoptera
