Testing heterochrony: Connecting skull shape ontogeny and evolution of feeding adaptations in baleen whales

A. Lanzetti, R. Portela-Miguez, V. Fernandez, A. Goswami

This study quantifies skull shape ontogeny in baleen whales to test heterochronic processes in their evolution of feeding adaptations.

The ontogeny of asymmetry in echolocating whales

A. Lanzetti, E. J. Coombs, R. Portela-Miguez, V. Fernandez, A. Goswami

This study investigates the ontogeny of skull asymmetry in echolocating whales, finding that developmental shifts lead to convergent high asymmetry despite phylogenetic differences.

A distinct growth physiology enhances bacterial growth under rapid nutrient fluctuations

J. Nguyen, V. Fernandez, S. Pontrelli, U. Sauer, M. Ackermann, R. Stocker

This study shows that E. coli grown in fluctuating nutrient environments has a distinct physiology that reduces growth rate loss compared to steady environments with the same average nutrient concentration.

Reptile-like physiology in Early Jurassic stem-mammals

E. Newham, P. G. Gill, P. Brewer, M. J. Benton, V. Fernandez, N. J. Gostling, D. Haberthür, T. Kankaanpaa, A. Kallonen, C. Navarro, A. Pacureanu, B. Zeller-Plumhoff, K. Richards, K. Robson-Brown, P. Schneider, , I. J. Corfe

The paper uses synchrotron X-ray imaging to show Early Jurassic stem-mammals had lifespans and femoral blood flow rates similar to reptiles, indicating reptile-like physiology rather than endothermic metabolism.

Three-dimensional characterisation of osteocyte volumes at multiple scales, and its relationship with bone biology and genome evolution in ray-finned fishes

D. Davesne, A. D. Schmitt, V. Fernandez, R. B. J. Benson, S. Sanchez

This study measures osteocyte volumes in ray-finned fishes using 3D imaging and finds genome size correlates with osteocyte volume across species.
