Glad to see published a new #GRAVIBONE paper, which is the first paper from @clementine-tetaert.bsky.social, co-1st with @camillebader.bsky.social, and with Charlene Verbeke, on ankle bone adaptation to heavy weight in proboscideans. Congrats!! Well done!

Very glad that our new #GRAVIBONE paper led by C. Etienne is out. It describes microanatomical adaptations in the forelimb long bones in rhinos (with high resolution scans of these large bones) & notably introduces our new approach for trabecular bone mapping. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
