We've just been features in a New Scientist article. It's in print and on the website at: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18728-achilles-tendon-is-key-to-evolution-of-human-running.html

25th March 2010

Two new papers have just come out:

Karl T. Bates; Phillip L. Manning; Lee Margetts; William I. Sellers (2010) Sensitivity Analysis in Evolutionary Robotic Simulations of Bipedal Dinosaur Running. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 30:458-466.

and

William Irvin Sellers & Todd C. Pataky & Paolo Caravaggi & Robin Huw Crompton (2010) Evolutionary Robotic Approaches in Primate Gait Analysis. International Journal of Primatology 31:321-338

The models for this latter paper are available at http://www.animalsimulation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54

15th January 2010

We've just put up some CT data on the main web site. A black throated diver, a barn owl and two Rodriguez fruit bats. There are a couple of other tiny bats that were obviously in the bag when we did the scanning. These are Seba's short-tailed bats. Anyway if you want to see them go to http://www.animalsimulation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=16&Itemid=19

The University was keen to put out a press release on the dinosaur papers so here it is:

The most amusing coverage is by the Manchester Evening News including photographs and movies:
