Our new 🦕 paper led by @es-ucl.bsky.social PhD student Sam Beeston shows that pneumaticity extends far into the tail in multiple sauropod dinosaur lineages, including brachiosaurids, suggesting that its evolution was probably complex across the clade: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper @thepalass.bsky.social led by PhD student Ana Laura Paiva (with @pedrolgodoy.bsky.social, @paleodaniel.bsky.social & others) estimating body size in notosuchian crocodylomorphs, with implications for extinction selectivity across the K/Pg mass extinction: doi.org/10.1111/pala...
Privileged to have had the chance to discuss my work with the global crocodylian conservation community at the 28th IUCN SSC Crocodile Specialist Group Working Meeting in Agadir, Morocco last week. Thrilled to have been awarded first prize for my talk on our Cuban crocodile research 🐊 #CSG2026
🚨 New croc paper alert!
Another study led by Ana Laura Paiva (PhD student I co-supervise with Max Langer) is out today in Palaeontology!
We revisit a classic question with new tools: how big were notosuchians, really? 🐊📏
