Tooth or dare : what tool to study carnivoran teeth ?
A new study on the lower dentition of carnivorans helps clarify which aspects of their ecology and evolutionary history are captured by different methods of dental shape analysis.

A new study on European fossils reveals strong changes in body mass in predatory mammals occurred mainly after major environmental shifts.
An international team has identified an evolutionary constraint in mammals that allows them to use the same tooth for two distinct functions.
Discover how our researchers bring the remnants of the past to life to understand how our ancestors hunted, what fossils of extinct animals and plants reveal, and what our oldest DNA still tells us about ourselves.
A new study compares the bite efficiency of fossil reptiles using advanced engineering simulations.
A new study develops equations to estimate the size of large marine predators from incomplete fossil skeletons.
A study led by ULiège enriches our understanding of the Earth's past and documents the mechanisms leading to evolutionary convergence.
Research carried out at the University of Liège's EDDyLab has made it possible to trace the evolutionary convergence of these groups using 3D models.
Rebecca Bennion's doctoral research sheds new light on the ecology of this enigmatic genre.
By creating 3D models of the bones, palaeontologist Rebecca Bannion (EDDYLab-UR Geology) was able to calculate the volume of this sea giant.
This is a major discovery in which the EDDyLab and the RBINS participated and which proves the ability of the first Devonian woody trees to adapt to drought.
A study carried out by researchers at the EDDyLab of the ULiège provides a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of sabre-toothed carnivore bites.
