Very happy to share our latest work on small mammalsâ hallucal ability! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
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.

Super cool charity cross of the MNHN we did with some colleagues and students this Sunday morning in the Jardin des Plantes of Paris đââïž. The sun was here to cheer us âïžđ. @cdelrio.bsky.social @mat-bod-evo-23.bsky.social @cr2p.bsky.social @mnhn.fr
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

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