There have been lots of advances in palaeornithology over the last few years. In this invited review (thanks @Tweetisaurus and @NHMdinolab) we discuss recent discoveries bearing on the origin of the bird brain, shoulder, palate, and air-filled skeleton. https://t.co/OR4X5hN8qH

Just finished some fantastic fieldwork in Fiji with Victor Bonito at Reef Explorer Fiji. We have started out a long-term project looking at soft corals on the reef flats mapping out multiple plots from four different sites to see how their ecological dynamics change through time.

💡How does light help you survive? What adaptations do you go through with the changes of the seasons?
