Congrats Sophia! Well done!!

Nice to see another paper out using samples from the chalk project I worked on last year @nhm.org. Well done Chloe & team!

Research out that I was involved in at the @nhm.org under the @chalksea.bsky.social project!

I had a great time sampling chalk specimens for this project.

Congrats @plesiosarahs.bsky.social and co.!!

Congrats Amber!!

Highly recommend working with Phil!

Human-fed red squirrels in Britain develop weaker jaws and flatter skulls A large team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in the U.K. has found evidence that red squirrels fed by humans in a town on England's west coast lost muscle mass and experienced changes to the shape of their skulls.

Human-fed red squirrels in Britain developed weaker jaws and flatter skulls due to a diet of soft-shelled peanuts, highlighting the potential negative impact of human intervention on wildlife. doi.org/g8zxdx

New paper in @royalsocietypublishing.org Open Science: peanut feeding may have altered the morphology of red squirrel skulls and jaws: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

A huge thanks to all my collaborators and the National Museum of Scotland. Particularly to my supervisor Phil Cox for taking the lead on this while I worked full-time and finished my thesis! So happy to have it finally out!

Morphological change in an isolated population of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in Britain | Royal Society Open Science The mechanical properties of dietary items are known to influence skull morphology, either through evolution or by phenotypic plasticity. Here, we investigated the impact of supplementary feeding of p...
