Another new paper looking at how both the size of an animal and its diet together influence skull shape - this time in rodents! 🐭💀 Well done team! Vera Weisbecker (she/her on Kaurna land) Ariel Marcy @TGuillerme onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Hey Skullywags! Dr Rex here. If you think skulls are cool, check out this video on crocodile biting 💀💀💀💀🐊🐊🐊🐊 The biomechanics of crocodile bites youtu.be/OIHJLRKckS8?si… via YouTube

The boxthorn bed and breakfast? Our new paper, published in CSIRO wildlife research shows that Stick nest rats preferentially eat invasive boxthorn rather than native vegetation on Australia’s Reevesby Island publish.csiro.au/wr/Fulltext/WR…

Like rodents? New video just dropped on their crazy skulls! 🐀🐁🐭🐹💀💀💀💀 youtu.be/G2Klf3lRSGI?si…

No luck on the DECRA. Moving on 🕺

The latest video just dropped (link in bio). We take a look at how missing teeth in the ancestors of the marsupial lion made evolution produce one of the most weird and powerful skulls known to science! 🤓💀 Artwork by Rudolph Hima, Music by Max Brhon

New video dropped, where I turn myself into a giant - for science! 🤓💀 youtube.com/watch?v=lvvF6J…

New study! Measaurements of deer skulls from 38 species (300 individuals) show that larger species have more diverse skull ecomorphology. Author concludes that size imposes ecological constraints 💀🤓 mdpi.com/2948940 #mdpifossstud via Fossil Studies MDPI #skull #science

Knowing what an animal eats can help biologists find it – especially when a species is as elusive as this one. @KarlVernes D. Rex Mitchell Vera Weisbecker (she/her on Kaurna land) Flinders University Newsroom @uninewengland theconversation.com/presumed-extin…

For any researchers that study skull function using comparative finite element analysis, our new paper presenting a framework for scaling muscle forces to adequately represent the hypothesis is extremely important journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Some interesting findings from our new methods paper. We used the skull of the extinct desert rat-kangaroo as a case study and discovered some important details about its feeding habits Vera Weisbecker (she/her on Kaurna land) TheSkullywagLab theconversation.com/presumed-extin… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

A new episode of Monster ID just dropped! This time, the lab identifies the Beast of Tenby 💀 youtu.be/Tr_yG9DoYJs?si… #skull #science

Just made this for The Skullywag Lab website I'm building Come sit by the fire and enjoy some skulls 💀🤓

New episode on ant and termite-eating animal skulls 💀💀💀 The feeding anatomy of these species is pretty bonkers tbh. Happy to finally explore it a bit youtu.be/Qt2iqUwujhY?si…

What if the Rancor in Star Wars was a domesticated breed similar to a pug or a bulldog? In the latest video from The Skullywag Lab, I "un-pug" the Rancor to see what a wild, undomesticated Rancor ancestor might look like! #skull #science #starwars youtu.be/di40LOfgSoA?si…

I only played a very small role in this PNASNews article by Dr. Abby Grace Drake, Jonathan B. Losos, et al., but it's cool, so please check it out! "Copy-cat evolution: Divergence and convergence within and between cat and dog breeds." doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
