The origin of placental mammal life histories

The jungle is quiet. Slinking through the understory towards a break in the trees is a small, dog-like animal. Its ears perk up as an unfamiliar grunt breaks the silence. … Continue reading The origin of placental mammal life histories

Some fog and gloomy weather here in Toronto has me thinking of #scotland.
Some of our earliest cousins were born ready-to-go and grew up twice as fast as today’s mammals, giving them an edge after the dinosaur extinction.
I had such an amazing time at #SADP2022!
To each their own, but I really enjoyed watching #jurassicworlddominion ! It was great seeing feathered dinosaurs and having the whole cast together! On a personal level, I’m really proud to have collaborated on research with both of the amazing consultants, @steve.brusatte and @jackhornersdinovision, especially because it was a project on tyrannosaurs!
Just back from #newmexico fieldwork, where I was digging for mammals instead of #dinosaurs. Amazing finds, people, and landscapes all around.
Incredibly excited to announce that our paper on the new Scottish pterosaur, Dearc sgiathanach (Scottish Gaelic, pronounced “jark ski-an-ack), was published this morning!
