What does the relationship between body shape and substrate tell us about limb reduction in skinks? Marco Camaiti et al find environmental adaptation, in particular to substrate, is a major driver of body-shape evolution in skinks. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.111… ChappleLab Alistair Evans

Dramatic evolutionary transitions: Morphological data show that the relationships between limb length and trunk elongation have unique evolutionary patterns across the world's skink clades. doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…

Check out this great new research by Dr Hazel L Richards on the weirdest of weird marsupials!

New paper alert!! We in the Oceania branch of @skinks_IUCN just published a paper in Pacific Conservation Biology CSIRO Publishing on the skinks of Oceania, New Guinea, and Eastern Wallacea publish.csiro.au/PC/PC22034 1/n

More journals should do these ECR features. They're a nice way to publicise research, and researchers!

Interested in the hidden sensory superpowers of limb-reduced skinks? Look no further than our new publication on the inner ears of these critters! doi.org/10.1093/zoolin…

New paper by my colleagues and I on the reproductive anatomy of a leopard seal 🦭 Leopard seal reproduction is mostly unknown. This note from a Monash University dissection discusses the importance of morphology in providing some clues. Open access paper here: doi.org/10.1111/mms.13…

WE ARE ONLINE OMG

🚨🦎Have you been wondering what a skink is? Check out our new paper🦎 🚨 We’re certain that the term “kebabs to noodles continuum” will be widely used by scientists in no time 😂 doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1… ChappleLab @skinks_IUCN Alex Slavenko Dr Marco Camaiti Shai Meiri Reid Tingley

We got the whole gang together (actually a few gangs) for a 9 hour power session to finish off our new team-written review paper on #AI for evolutionary morphology. 50 pages and 6 case studies later, the preprint is out! doi.org/10.32942/X2S315. Website w/ links to tools up soon!

New review paper on using AI to analyse Evolutionary Morphology is officially out! Was great to part of a large collaborative team writing this. academic.oup.com/iob/article/6/…

Our new paper on #AI for evolutionary morphology is out [email protected]! This massive team effort covers the history of AI for studying morphology, reviews new tools, provides many case studies & a prospectus for using AI to progress diverse topics in evolutionary morphology.
