Our new manuscript on the carnivorans of Madagascar is now published in @RSocPublishing! With @UWBiology's undergrad Tate Linden and @RGGSatAMNH's John Flynn, we examined skull evolution and lineage diversification of this endemic clade. 🧵1/x royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

The #TeamSquirrel triology is complete! Led by undergrad @AbbyEBurtner, we (with D Grossnickle & @SESantanaM) tested the selective regimes acting on mammalian limbs to examine the gliding-to-flying hypothesis in the origin of bat flight. 🧵1/n @thePeerJ peerj.com/articles/17824/

So great to get the two research groups together! The combination of @OMAC_evolution @NSF and @ERC_Research @Tied2Teeth is a force to be reckoned with!
