Mitchell D, Wroe S, Martin M, Weisbecker V
J Exp Biol . 2025 Jan; 228(4). PMID: 39817439
Comparative finite element analysis often involves standardising aspects of models to test equivalent loading scenarios across species. However, regarding feeding biomechanics of the vertebrate skull, what is considered 'equivalent' can...

Sansalone G, Wroe S, Coates G, Attard M, Fruciano C
Nat Commun . 2024 Apr; 15(1):3275. PMID: 38627430
Functional trade-offs can affect patterns of morphological and ecological evolution as well as the magnitude of morphological changes through evolutionary time. Using morpho-functional landscape modelling on the cranium of 132...

Bicknell R, Schmidt M, Rahman I, Edgecombe G, Gutarra S, Daley A, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2023 Jul; 290(2002):20230638. PMID: 37403497
The stem-group euarthropod is one of the largest Cambrian animals and is often considered the quintessential apex predator of its time. This radiodont is commonly interpreted as a demersal hunter,...

Sansalone G, Profico A, Wroe S, Allen K, Ledogar J, Ledogar S, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol . 2023 Jan; 7(1):42-50. PMID: 36604552
There is controversy around the mechanisms that guided the change in brain shape during the evolution of modern humans. It has long been held that different cortical areas evolved independently...

Bicknell R, Simone Y, van der Meijden A, Wroe S, Edgecombe G, Paterson J
PeerJ . 2022 Dec; 10:e14515. PMID: 36523454
Eurypterids (sea scorpions) are extinct aquatic chelicerates. Within this group, members of Pterygotidae represent some of the largest known marine arthropods. Representatives of this family all have hypertrophied, anteriorly-directed chelicerae...

Cooper J, Hutchinson J, Bernvi D, Cliff G, Wilson R, Dicken M, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 Aug; 8(33):eabm9424. PMID: 35977007
Although shark teeth are abundant in the fossil record, their bodies are rarely preserved. Thus, our understanding of the anatomy of the extinct remains rudimentary. We used an exceptionally well-preserved...

Hu H, Wang Y, McDonald P, Wroe S, OConnor J, Bjarnason A, et al.
Elife . 2022 Aug; 11. PMID: 35971758
The Early Cretaceous diversification of birds was a major event in the history of terrestrial ecosystems, occurring during the earliest phase of the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution, long before the origin...

Mitchell D, Wroe S, Ravosa M, Menegaz R
Integr Org Biol . 2021 Dec; 3(1):obab030. PMID: 34888486
The rescue and rehabilitation of young fauna is of substantial importance to conservation. However, it has been suggested that incongruous diets offered in captive environments may alter craniofacial morphology and...

Bicknell R, Holmes J, Edgecombe G, Losso S, Ortega-Hernandez J, Wroe S, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2021 Jan; 288(1943):20202075. PMID: 33499790
Durophagy arose in the Cambrian and greatly influenced the diversification of biomineralized defensive structures throughout the Phanerozoic. Spinose gnathobases on protopodites of Cambrian euarthropod limbs are considered key innovations for...

Weisbecker V, Rowe T, Wroe S, Macrini T, Garland K, Travouillon K, et al.
Evolution . 2021 Jan; 75(3):625-640. PMID: 33483947
Little is known about how the large brains of mammals are accommodated into the dazzling diversity of their skulls. It has been suggested that brain shape is influenced by relative...
