Does a longer snout mean better smell? New CT study of 10 myrmecophagous mammals & relatives found no link b/w elongated snouts & improved olfactory capabilities. But turbinal convergence in aardvarks & armadillos reflects complex ecology Wright et al: doi.org/10.1002/ar.25603

This work could not have been possible without the help of numerous people that help us assembled the dataset over the years. In particular, I would like to thank my coauthors WJ Loughry & C McDonough who dedicated their careers to armadillos and were always supportive of my work
