Nossa pesquisa saiu na @pesquisafapesp.bsky.social hoje! Gostei muito do enfoque do texto, explicou não só o estudo em si, mas também um pouco do processo por trás. Super indico a leitura! :) agencia.fapesp.br/fossil-encon...

80-million-year-old snake fossil sheds light on why lizards lost their limbs and started slitheringSnakes lost their limbs millions of years ago to become undulating, scaly tubes of muscles. Scientists are finally figuring out why.theconversation.comSo, I will take the opportunity to write about our paper on the new fossil snake 🐍 from Brazil out in @nature.com today. Tiago wrote on the science itself here 👇 so I will tell a bit about the behind the scene stages, especially segmentation and anatomical interpretation bsky.app/profile/trsi...
Tiago SimõesProud to share our latest paper in out in Nature today on the origin of #snakes. We present Tametara mirim, an articulated 3D preserved stem snake from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil. Tametara helped us re-tell the story of snake origins in a novel way... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our work is out! Meet Tametara mirim, a new fossil snake 🐍 from Brazil that has challenged our views on early snake evolution! A jewel 💎 from the Cretaceous brought to you by an amazing team of colleagues among which @trsimoes.bsky.social and @nicolasdipoi.bsky.social! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Darren NaishHere's a thread of #books I've recently got hold of. I'm obsessed with zoology, and all are animal books. We start with Des Thompson and Ingvar Byrkjedal's Shorebirds of 2001. On first glance, it looks like one of those photo-themed bird books that contain minimal info, but...
