Do tropical biomes drive greater skull diversity in flying squirrels? 🐿️

@paleoiris.bsky.social from #AmniotaLab led this study to test it!
Diet shapes skulls, but tropical biomes don’t show extra disparity. extreme niche specialization might matter more!

Background Species richness increases gradually as latitude decreases, however, the explanation for this phenomenon remains unclear. Ecological hypotheses suggest that greater niche diversity in tropi...
