I'm quite happy with this paper - I think it's a relatively accessible read, and includes our most advanced track simulations yet. Thanks to everyone at Palaeontology for making such a nice paper.

This thread is joyful, highly accurate, and includes links to help you acquire your own mavelous biololgy plumage. Thank you for brining wonder to my Tuesday @rebeccarhelm.bsky.social
Biologists must display their most marvelous plumage if they are to be accepted by a flock of fellow biologists.
