The lighthouse of Þrídrangar was built in 1939 (!) and has been an inspiration for many. It even includes a helipad! The orcas can often be seen near Þrídrangar particularly in the early part of the summer. 📷 by Sara Tavares

.Deborah Vicari 's first paper from her PhD has just been selected to be the EDITORS CHOICE for the journal this month, features on the homepage and is now open access!!! 🐳 Go check out her awesome work on whale skulls here > cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

We are pleased to announce that our paper has been selected to be the EDITORS CHOICE for this month and it is now #OpenAccess. We analyzed 3D skull variation in false killer whales from a population that was stranded in 1927 in Scotland at Natural History Museum cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Hey #whale Tweeps, help me identify this bone! Looks like... A skull? Part of a skull? This #shark biologist is stumped and equally amazed 🐳

Great to see LJMU Biology research featured as Editor's Choice in Canadian Science Publishing ⬇ Take a look at their findings from analysing 3D skull variations between male and female false killer whales. Deborah Vicari #ecology #EvolutionaryAnthropology

Happy Friday! Woke up to a "Your paper was accepted" email 🥳🥳🥳 Stay tuned for some 👣 news... Deborah Vicari Matteo Belvedere Isabelle De Groote

Our new paper dropped today! We discuss 17 trackways from Formby Point, England (total 181 footprints!) discovered during field seasons in 2016-2018! What's even better? ALL 3D data is open access! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S23… Deborah Vicari Matteo Belvedere Isabelle De Groote 1/n

We are pleased to share our new publication on the hybrid NARLUGA. We studied its morphology to understand which was its dominant phenotype. The 3D skull of the NARLUGA can be downloaded from the supporting information. #openaccess #NHMD journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

I have been interviewed by Erica Wirth for her podcast Breaching Extinction about our recent publication on the Narluga skull Morphology. Listen now wherever you stream podcasts! anchor.fm/breachingextin…
