Several years in the making with two of the biggest brains in the field! Vera Weisbecker (she/her on Kaurna land) Emma Sherratt We unpack the who, the what, the where, the when, and the how of mammalian skull proportions and how they change with size across species. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…

But this review isn't just about skulls. We show how phylogenetic tests of allometry can be a problem when size correlates with phylogeny. As one reviewer said, it's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater! Emma Sherratt Vera Weisbecker (she/her on Kaurna land) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…
