A nice way to end the week - my latest paper with @konowlab.bsky.social is out in early access! What's behind bite force in rodents? They can change muscle anatomy, mechanics, *and* molecular composition to make more force www.nature.com/articles/s42...
Multi-scale analysis of the rodent craniofacial system reveals correlated bite force adaptations at the molecular, muscular and skeletal scales, that further correlate with feeding ecology.
