Population sizes of T. rex cannot be precisely estimated escholarship.org/uc/item/8mj401… via eScholarship the editor refused when I asked to call this "hands off T-rex"
Shai Meiri ChappleLab Dr Marco Camaiti Jules Farquhar SSE Throughout the phylogeny, cathemerality and nocturnality are strongly associated with limb reduction or loss, fossorial habits, and warm temperatures. Like our good friend Chalcides sepsoides, a sand burrowing, limb-reduced nocturnal species from the deserts of Israel (8/n)
Shai Meiri ChappleLab Dr Marco Camaiti Jules Farquhar SSE The nocturnal and diurnal lineages then showed up later, possibly coinciding with shifting climatic patterns durings the Paleogene. Finally, we ended up with a lot more diurnal skink species, leading to our common view of skinks nowadays. (10/n)
Shai Meiri ChappleLab Dr Marco Camaiti Jules Farquhar SSE So once again, skinks come out as a pretty fascinating group of animals! Immensly variable in biology, with a lot of interesting evolutionary tales to tell. (11/n)
