During its life, the Alpine newt, like many amphibians, goes through several stages. These different stages are associated with significant morphological changes. However, not all populations of the Alpine newt follow this pattern...
From 21 to 23 January, two members of the team, Anne-Claire Fabre and Morgane Fournier, attended the Meeting of the Spanish Society for Evolutionary Biology (SESBE 2026), held in Valencia, Spain. This conference provided an opportunity to catch up with…
From September 20 to 22 2023, the team’s lab retreat took place in Adelboden in Switzerland. The members of the meta-morphosis team were all present (Anne-Claire Fabre, Vivien Louppe, Isabelle Toussaint and Morgane Fournier). Collaborators were also invited to the…
In order to observe the precise morphology of the head bones, we use a micro-computed tomography (micro-CT scanner). This is a 3D imaging technique using x-rays to see inside an object, slice by slice. For our project, we need to…
CT scans are a treasure trove of morphological data, particularly for the skeletal system. In this post we share how we use open-source software to collect landmarks and semilandmarks from CT data.
