The final chapter of my PhD is out!!
What happens when graviportal taxa get dwarfed? We explore this in dwarf elephantids from the Mediterranean Sea, looking at the inner and outer anatomy of limb long bones. 🐘📄

Terrestrial vertebrates rely on their skeleton to provide structural support and allow the movement of the body. Heavy, graviportal taxa, such as extant elephants, exhibit numerous adaptive features ....doi.org
🦴 How do proboscidean bones support such massive weight?
Chapter 3 of my PhD is out, a new paper diving into their bone microanatomy!

Oh! Another paper! From @camillebader.bsky.social Camille Bader's PhD, with Alexandra Houssaye @houssayecnrs.bsky.social. Elephant limb bone microanatomy reflects bone function and posture.

Glad to see published a new #GRAVIBONE paper, which is the first paper from @clementine-tetaert.bsky.social, co-1st with @camillebader.bsky.social, and with Charlene Verbeke, on ankle bone adaptation to heavy weight in proboscideans. Congrats!! Well done!

Bone anatomy reflects the mechanical and functional constraints to which the skeleton is subjected. In graviportal taxa, the primary constraint is gravity, requiring specific adaptations in bone struc...
It was a great honor and an adventure to work together with @camillebader.bsky.social on this unique Deinotherium limb bone. The analysis helped us better understand how the inner structure of this giant’s bones adapted to its enormous size. (Art: Tibor Pecsics - @griffworkshop5)

With @idriss-pelletan.bsky.social and @paulineprovini.bsky.social, we developed SOUPE, a new method and R package to evaluate the phylogenetic representativeness of taxonomic samples, and help create optimized samples.
