Cool new insights into some weird fossil mammals from Madagascar 😎 locomotor behaviour of subfossil Malagasy sloth-lemurs (Strepsirrhini: Indriidae) and koala-lemurs (Strepsirrhini: Megaladapidae): new insights from limb trabecular bone url: academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/a...

Finally out! Trabecular structure in tamarins changes depending on their leaping distance! A collaboration with U. Nguyen, @fabioalfieri2.bsky.social, A. Licht and @johnnyakatura.bsky.social, using my #R package "indianabones". (1/2) #primates #BioAnth #bones #science đŸ§Ș🐒🩮đŸș doi.org/10.1002/ajpa...

I don't think that the reviewers asking me for higher animal numbers really understand how many 40 goats are. Do you know the CHAOS that comes with dealing with 40 GOATS in an experimental setting! Mice people cannot comprehend. 3 goats alone ate a tarp, a clock, and 2 expensive accelerometers!
Very proud of the first paper of the PhD project of Adrian Scheidt.
Our work on mammalian hallucal grasping, led by Irene Montañez-Rivera during her time in the @johnnyakatura.bsky.social group, is out now in iScience. A true team effort; thanks to the whole crew for inviting me to contribute a small piece! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

I’m very happy to share that our work on bone inner structure of Madagascar’s subfossil sloth- and koala-lemurs is finally out 🩮🐒 on @zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social A big thank you to co-authors @julsam.bsky.social Carla ArgilĂ©s EsturgĂł and Damiano Marchi! academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/a... 1/6
New paper out! 🩮🐒 In the trabecular bone of tamarin limbs, we found that beyond non-locomotor factors, leaping distance leaves a signal! Thanks to @aveneziano.bsky.social, and colleagues from the lab led by @johnnyakatura.bsky.social Open Access on American Journal of Biological Anthropology

@johnnyakatura.bsky.social et al., investigate the scaling of internal joint distance (IJD), a surrogate measure for cartilage thickness, across small- to medium-sized mammals. Elbow position had no significant effect on IJD and used these data to model the range of motion (ROM) at the elbow joint
