#ENDLESSHERPS Most Beautiful: Amphibians and non-avian reptiles as models for evolutionary developmental biology! An incredible symposium sponsored by @SSAR! Check it out at #SSAR2024 at UMich!

7 years of #overtTCN digitization efforts has produced > 25K datasets from >13K vertebrate specimens. It's been an incredible experience with amazing collaborators. While the project is oVer(t), it's just the beginning of an amazing shift in accessibility of musuem collections.

I'm SO proud to announce - THE #oVertTCN PAPER IS OUT! We wanted to scan all the vertebrates & wow did we give it a red hot crack!

Here's the infographic from the paper. I used survey data, MorphoSource reports, & the oVert archives to put it together

It's a wrap! 🎉🎉🎉 With the completion of #oVertTCN , the doors of natural history museum collections have been digitally unlocked allowing scientists, educators, artists & the public to interact with specimens in ways never before possible.

What better way to celebrate the #oVertTCN paper in American Institute of Biological Sciences today (academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…) than with this ridiculous montage of amazing imagery from Ed Stanley Dr. Jaimi Gray Zach Randall and more.

Very excited to share a huge project that's been a long time in the making. Interested in squamate macroevolution? Curious about how snakes fit into the broader ecological context of squamates? Looking for a new squamate phylogeny? Check out our new work: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Let's into the fascinating world of tadpole evolution at the II International Symposium on Tadpole Evolution! Check out the complete program available on our homepage. Attention!!! Our schedule is in Berlin time (GMT+).

'SquamBase' — a database containing information on multiple key traits for all 11,744 recognised species of squamates worldwide.

18 years of work by Shai Meiri — quite a feat

Daniel Paluh has been investigating the evolution, development and ecology of amphibians. Watch his lecture on February 21th at 1:30 p.m.

.University of Dayton senior Madeline Brinkman worked with Asst. Professor Daniel Paluh to study developmental evidence for the re-evolution of frog teeth through the Dean's Summer Fellowship program: udayton.co/YNh #WeSoar

I am so happy yo share this new paper! We found 28 Million years old fossils of the “Caribbean Amphinians 🎵🎶” in Florida 🦴🐸 doi.org/10.1093/zoolin…

Now published in a food processing special issue at Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, Evan Economo and my review of ant feeding structure and function. Open access! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

The two last days have been incredible for me. Getting the chance to teach ENM to PhD students at my former Univeristy in Yaounde 1 together with Katie Allen. All I wish is to do it again very soon…

🚨 State of the World's Amphibians is out! 🚨

We're thrilled to announce the launch of the 2nd Global Amphibian Assessment.

A great, fully-funded MS position to work on patch-nosed salamanders @ Clemson University with Dr. Cathy Jachowski, but also working closely with our lab here at KSU. Share with folks who might be interested! wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/m-s-assis…

Thanks to Daytonlibrary Wilmington-Stroop Branch for hosting our University of Dayton Biology outreach event focused on local amphibians!
