⚠️For PhDs who are thinking about jumping ship and diving into industry: Industry isn't necessarily better than academia. I have straddled both worlds. Here are 5 MYTHS about academia vs. industry:
THE BIGGEST FRESHWATER DOLPHIN INHABITED THE PERUVIAN AMAZONIA 16 MILLION YEARS AGO. Just published in @ScienceAdvances we introduce you to Pebanista yacuruna and a problem: Why? it is the closest relative of the South Asian river dolphins (g. Platanista). science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Confirmed after a long time... There are now 14 species of extant #otters around the world!!! 🦦🌎 The Neotropical otter splits into Lontra longicaudis (South America) and Lontra annectens (Mesoamerica) #mammals #carnivora #taxonomy #JournalofMammalogy academic.oup.com/jmammal/articl…
Different ecological and #phylogenetic effects led to distinct #evolutionary patterns among the different skeletal components in #carnivorans. Read the full #BiologyLetters paper ‘Uncovering the mosaic evolution of the carnivoran skeletal system’ ow.ly/7VUT50QKJlk
Collyer and Adams 2024 Evol Biol "argue that a formal hypothesis-testing framework for measurement error in morphometric data is lacking". They develop formal methods to evaluate systematic and random error in morph! link.springer.com/article/10.100…
It's a wrap! 🎉🎉🎉 With the completion of #oVertTCN, the doors of natural history museum collections have been digitally unlocked allowing scientists, educators, artists & the public to interact with specimens in ways never before possible. Story: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/scient…
Do you work with traits? Would you like to create these fancy plots but they are too complex? You can do them now (along with other analyses) with 'funspace', an R package created with @GiacomoPugliel1 and Nicola Pavanetto.
Excited that our first @OMAC_evolution paper is out in @RSocPublishing Biology Letters! Here, we test for distinct modes of evolution among the cranial, appendicular and vertebral regions in extant carnivoran skeletons. 1/x 🧵 w/ @Tseng_ZJ & @LHlusko royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
Qué genial! Un paquete de R llamado MCFLY que permite modelar gradientes de diversidad a lo largo de la evolución de un grupo monofilético... Sería como "viajar" en el tiempo y espacio, en un sentido eco-evolutivo jeje Perfecto el nombre 😆

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9
One of the coolest things about the new version of rphylopic is that you can see in RStudio viewer all the silhouettes associated with a species. I'll do a blog post on how to do use this package to put silhouettes in a plot. But check how it looks! See the first silhouette
🐻Un estudio de #WCS y Pro Carnívoros ha identificado que las yungas, pajonales altoandinos y bosques húmedos en #Puno se encuentran bien conservados y son clave para proteger al #osoandino en Perú y la región. 🔹Lee la nota bit.ly/osoandino_mt
Species distribution models (SDMs) require many complex decisions which often lack best practices. @BLeroyEcology establishes new best practices for presence-only SDMs doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…

How did sabertooth bending mechanics change during their months-long eruption? I attempted to answer this using good ol' beam theory and finite element simulations. Please enjoy this #OpenAccess work, part of a special issue organized by @TIPollock, Werdelin, @AdamHRose! 🗡️🐈
