hi folks ! My name is Austin (He/They). My field is evolutionary biology and I study the evolution of dental complexity in mammals ! My focus is hoofed mammals and carnivorans. I love reading in the park, hiking, and attending local drag shows.
Follow me for memes and STEMbo shenanigans :)

Artiodactyls are the most diverse large herbivore clade alive today. To maximize plant consumption, they have evolved molar-like premolars. @aus10ash.bsky.social and @jmtheodor.bsky.social here show that molarized premolars in artiodactyls may actually be patterned as molars.
Happy to say that @aus10ash.bsky.social's MSc work on patterning at the p4/m1 boundary is out: link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...
