Very proud of the first paper of the PhD project of Adrian Scheidt.
Super cool charity cross of the MNHN we did with some colleagues and students this Sunday morning in the Jardin des Plantes of Paris 🏃♀️. The sun was here to cheer us ☀️😃. @cdelrio.bsky.social @mat-bod-evo-23.bsky.social @cr2p.bsky.social @mnhn.fr

Very happy to share our latest work on small mammals’ hallucal ability! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
Happy to share our last article just published in eLife 😁 @johnnyakatura.bsky.social
Our paper, based on a uniquely large dataset of vertical descent behaviours in arboreal mammals, is published in @elife.bsky.social. The findings offer fresh perspectives on reconstructing postures in early primates.

2 PhD Opportunities! 🤩
We are recruiting two highly motivated PhD students to join an ambitious project advancing Robotic Paleontology—a rapidly emerging field that fuses paleontology, biomechanics, simulation, and robotics.

#Communiqué 🗞️ Une étude révèle que les primates arboricoles montrent une diversité de stratégies de descentes verticales, avec des postures redressées, contrairement à d’autres mammifères qui descendent majoritairement la tête la première. 🐒

Pangolins possess a spectacular, dense network of diploic veins for brain drainage!
In our latest study, we show that this pattern may also provide rare morphological evidence linking pangolins and carnivorans in the Ferae clade.

@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

Set to lift off this week, the NASA flight will take astronauts around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years.
Researchers have published the first comparative analysis of downward climbing behaviours across a broad range of small mammal species, with insights into the evolution of primates’ arboreal upright p...

Kinematics and morphology reveal how mammals descend trees safely, showing posture and movement strategies that suggest early upright behaviours in ancestral primates.
