Deeply saddened to learn this 🐃🐏🐂🐐

Sad news. Vrba was a great scientist and a wonderful person.

Yesterday, we celebrated #11F, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, at CEIP Humberto Juanes and CEIP García Barbón. #11FUVigo Día Mujer y Ciencia

Vrba was right! "The impact of fragmentation on species biogeography is linked to the ecological characteristics of species, with more climate specialist species occurring in biomes that suffered high fragmentation rates in the last 5 million years" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

New paper co-led by Maddy Lang and myself, providing the most comprehensive analysis of the evolution of olfactory bulb size in living and fossil euarchontoglirans. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar…

Our paper on the biogeographic origin of Fijian iguanas was published in PNASNews! We provide phylogenomic, fossil, and geologic evidence that iguanas rafted over 8000km from North America to Fiji. Let me know if you’d like a copy! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

New publication (Part 1) with 久保　麦野 ! Bone Histology Suggests Insularity and Sex Differences in Japanese Sika Deer Growth This study analyzes bone microstructure in sika deer from various islands across Japan. While mainland populations show clear sex-based growth

Wonderful collaboration with Shoji_Hayashi to prove the usefulness of bone histological analysis in revealing the life history of extant wild mammals!🦌🦴🔬

📢 New paper out! (Part 2) This project is a collaboration with 久保　麦野 and my lab students! The bone histology of the Amami rabbit is just like that of reptiles — many growth marks, even in juveniles…! The Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi) grows at an exceptionally slow

New paper out! (Part 3) Another great collaboration with 久保　麦野, Dr Daniela E Winkler, and my lab students! We used tooth microwear—a paleontology method—to reveal dietary differences in the Amami rabbit and Ryukyu long-haired rat! Beautiful illustration by Kanon Tanaka_田中花音_博物マニア6月7.8日 — thank
