So happy to share my first PhD chapter! First digital brain endocast of Hoplitomeryx matthei - a strange five-horned ruminant from Gargano paleo-island (Italy).
Full study: doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Unlike M. balearicus, H. matthei underwent only a minor brain size reduction. Different islands = different evolutionary pathways!

Each new fossil endocast helps us learn more about the intriguing phenomenon of island brain evolution! Huge thanks to @IslandEvolution; @GeorgiosLyras; @mennecart_b; @gregoire_metais; @Rozzi_Roberto and everyone who contributed to making this study possible! 🙏

Congratulations, @PiedStone! 🎉🎉 #proud_PhD_advisor
I had the great pleasure of attending the APF annual congress in #Lille last week! Deeply honored to have received the award for the best talk on an ongoing PhD 🦌🧠🏝
Many thanks to the organizers and to the inspiring researchers I had the chance to meet and learn from!

Thrilled to announce that my first Master's paper on the astragalus of ruminants has been published! 🦒🐐🦌nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

3D geometric morphometrics reveal how phylogeny, allometry, and locomotor adaptations shape the morphology of the ruminant astragalus, highlighting its integrated nature and evolutionary constraints.🦒🐐@PiedStone @CirsiumFerox @mennecart_b nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Had a great week CT scanning insular artiodactyls at @Naturalis_Sci with @PiedStone & @IslandEvolution! Always a joy to visit these amazing collections #island #dwarfism 🏝️🐐🦌 #brain #evolution 🧠 #fossils🦴 #CTscanning 🩻 #Dubois

The skull of the small ruminant Hoplitomeryx (Pleistocene of Italy) has such a Sauron vibe ! #fossilfriday
#FossilFriday These days I've had the opportunity to work on ruminant fossils from the Quatrehomme collection housed at the Musée La Monnaye in Meung sur Loire. A very pleasant experience ! 🦌🦒🦬

#FossilFriday Very happy to announce our new paper is out !! Do you like #saber-tooth? Want to learn more about their #evolution? Have a look at our article on the life history of the iconic saber-toothed #ruminant aka. the #Moschidae

IT IS OUT! As long as we have started studying animals, the simple question “what’s the heaviest animal that ever lived?” had a simple answer: the blue whale…well, not any more E.
Celebratory thread for our paper just out @Nature

#FossilFriday Working in the collections, what a lovely way to spend time during a gray rainy day !! @DamienG43277000 and @PiedStone working at the NMB #Basel and NMBe #Bern on #fossil ruminants :) 🦌🐃🦒
Thank you @grumpyDrFabre @CirsiumFerox and colleagues for this time :)
