Our first paper of the year is out in @NatureEcoEvo ! we explore the interplay between skull patterning and whole-head integration, employing extensive ontogenies alongside multi-tissue data in lizards and snakes @BIOTECH_UH @HiLIFE_helsinki @helsinkiuni nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Researchers from @BIOTECH_UH @helsinkiuni used new methods to study snake evolution. Instead of fossils, they used high-definition 3D models of modern lizard and snake brains and reconstructed the brain shape of early #snakes. @NicolasDiPoi
