📢 We have some interesting news! Humberto G. Ferrón recently presented a poster at EAVP, sharing their novel methodological pipeline for studying organismal evolution through marine tetrapods. Stay tuned for further updates in our webpage macrofun.es. Fundación BBVA


Our project on the ecological scenario of early vertebrate evolution will be funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades! 🏆 Announcing three years of funding and a PhD student joining our team! 🎉 Stay tuned as we gear up for the exciting recruitment phase!

🚀 Excited to welcome elsa.leflaec to our research group! Over the next 4 years, she'll be developing her PhD on the agnathan/gnathostome Devonian turnover through a multidisciplinary approach. Eager to see the advancements she'll bring to our field!🐟🐟

A great pleasure to participate in the ISELV 2024 with a keynote on the ecological scenario of early vertebrate evolution 🐟. Macroevolution and Functional morphology

We’re thrilled to welcome Águeda (Sobrino-Martínez, A.) to @MacroFun for her Master’s thesis! She’ll be exploring Riedl’s Burden hypothesis in turtles 🐢 using Anatomical Network Analysis and Geometric Morphometrics. Co-supervised by Humberto G. Ferrón and Βαγγέλης Βλάχος | Evan Vlachos. Best of luck, Águeda! 🚀



Back home from #PalAss24, where I presented an exciting project I've been working on with Humberto G. Ferrón, Elsa Leflaëc Macroevolution and Functional morphology and Óscar Sanisidro on the evolution of headshield morphology and hydrodynamics in early vertebrates!


🚨 PhD Opportunity! 🚨 Join the 'MacroFun' group at Universitat València. 📜 4-year contract (subject to a competitive call). 💡 We’ll support your application & project design! Details: macrofun.es 📩 [email protected] 🗓️ Apply by: Jan 27, 2025 🔄 Please RT & share! 🙏

Muchas gracias a todo el comité organizador del XXIII EJIP 2025 por darme la oportunidad de impartir el workshop de morfometría geométrica a las jóvenes promesas de la paleontología española! 🦴📏



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 = 🦴✈️💨 vincevansan Oscar Sanisidro Macroevolution and Functional morphology Thread 👇
