This work was done while I was at @ucl-c4ia.bsky.social with Dr Laura Porro, @eloygl.bsky.social and @anthony-herrel.bsky.social.

The manuscript will soon be published in the @anatrecord.bsky.social (DOI: 10.1002/ar.70077)

@leaveylab.bsky.social: evolutionary biologist with a go-get-em attitude, I'm yet to see a task she wasn't willing to conquer. I worked w Alice on #diceCT frog legs, & now she's shining in her postdoc on chameleons! She's been busy publishing her PhD research: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Frog Fibres: What Muscle Architecture Can Tell Us About Anuran Locomotor Function
Our study utilises a new, automated approach to digitally extracting muscle fibres from μCT data, allowing us to present the first digital analysis of muscle fibre architecture in frogs, including so...
