something that's also fun about this is that the final 'received' date is my birthday 😌
The work I did as an undergrad with @eegcam.bsky.social @mikleonardi.bsky.social is finally out, modelling the ecological niche of leopards to understand how African and Asian populations differ in their climatic distributions! (1/3) 🐆
We found that Asian populations show lots of overlap with the niche of the African leopard, suggesting that as leopards moved out of Africa ~400kya, their existing flexibility allowed them to spread far and wide without major ecological changes 🌍
got to talk about sloths! at the NHM!
Not remotely morphology or biomechanics related, but I had a great time working on this and I'm really proud of it as my first paper 🤓
Interested in the functional morphology of mammal heads and want to come join us in Liverpool? Apply for this exciting new PhD project with Alana!
