"Warm bloodedness does not make you a differently shaped shark," Sternes continued. "I encourage others to explore ideas about its body shape, and to search for the ultimate treasure of a preserved Megalodon fossil. Meanwhile, this result clears up some confusion about previous findings and ...
We showed, with experiments and computer simulations, that Giraffa has unusually low overall leverage (“effective mechanical advantage”; EMA) for its forelimbs during walking (and presumably all gaits/speeds); and even its cousin Okapia does, to a degree; and the extinct giant giraffid Sivath...
And it makes possible the usual kinds of 3D biomechanical analyses that my group does — stay tuned for that. So there you have it. Hippos, early archosaurs, rhinos, earlier and later theropod dinosaurs, and elephants. Lots of locomotor anatomy, biomechanics and evolution. This pretty much ...
Another big predator from the distant past that few people have heard of isMegalodon, the biggest shark that ever existed. Megalodon may have been over 60 feet long (18.2 meters) and had teeth 7 inches long (about 18 centimeters), making the great white shark of today look like a dwarf ...
(and presumably all gaits/speeds); and even its cousinOkapiadoes, to a degree; and the extinct giant giraffidSivatheriumtoo. This is because of its long limbs, which one might look at and call it “cursorial adaptation” but our analysis reveals the tradeoffs of that; as limb length ...
But today I want to turn the lens on the post’s title topic. What does a“typical” weekdayin my life look like, with a focus on the academic/science aspects? There is no such “typical” ideal; every day is very different, but a Platonic abstraction will be heuristic. Let the clo...
