VAMP_Palaeo specimens out in the world being fabulous. If you want to see more 3D scans and of fossil lungfish (& much more besides) head to sites.flinders.edu.au/vamp/ 👀

Jack O’Connor of Evans EvoMorph Lab has been creating some striking skeletal reconstructions & animations of extinct Australian megafauna using VAMP_Palaeo scans. See Thylacoleo here: sketchfab.com/3d-models/thyl…

Shared this before but sharing again because it's that good! I will be citing this a lot in my next couple of papers and probably long after.

#NewPaper supported by NIF Monash Biomedical Imaging Mike de Veer:

Hanging on and digging deep: comparative forelimb myology of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) and common wombat (Vombatus ursinus) from authors Dr Hazel L Richards, Justin W Adams and Alistair Evans

New research out! We found that red kangaroos living with dingoes grow up faster than red kangaroos that live safe behind the dingo fence 🦘🦘🦘

Does the Dingo-proof fence cause red kangaroos to switch their growth patterns? Potentially so, as we show in our OA article academic.oup.com/jmammal/advanc… – our write-up in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand theconversation.com/an-exciting-po…. D.
