🚨New ChaSE paper!🚨 'Slimehead Size Through Time'. Led by Masters student Chloe Griffiths, we used #chalk collections @nhm-london.bsky.social of the 🐟 genus Hoplopteryx & stable isotope analyses @ucl.ac.uk to see how fish body size varied with #Cretaceous climate change. 🌡📏 doi.org/10.1002/ece3...
Slimehead Size Through Time: Testing the Temperature–Size Relationship in Late Cretaceous Trachichthyidae
In this study, we use the extensive fossil record of the extinct Late Cretaceous Trachichthyid fish genus, Hoplopteryx, from the British Chalk Group to explore how this family responded to past clima...

Morphological change in an isolated population of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in Britain | Royal Society Open Science
The mechanical properties of dietary items are known to influence skull morphology,
either through evolution or by phenotypic plasticity. Here, we investigated the impact
of supplementary feeding of p...
