In our December cover article, @SavannahSciArt describes a novel atympanic middle ear system in chameleons. Some chameleons hear using their pterygoid bone instead of an eardrum. This has evolved at least 4 times! More here: doi.org/10.1002/ar.24879 #chameleon #diceCT #hearing

Fossils need people! ❤️ @IMNH208 & @isubiology; @burkemuseum & @UWBiology; and @UMMNH / @UMichPaleo group shots from last week’s #2022SVP. Really need to get a @FieldMuseum group shot next time! @SVP_vertpaleo (with special thanks to @TomKaye_)

While bats reign over spooky season, they're around all year long and far more fascinating (and far cuter) than they get credit for. @UW professor Sharlene Santana shares what she loves about these flying mammals. @burkemuseum @UWBiology

Minute #Cambrian #fossils, representing among the oldest ecdysozoans, have been associated with #Kinorhyncha, though they have also been allied with priapulids in other studies. However, if correct, they are the only #fossil representatives of this phylum. #FossilFriday
