Sérgio's fourth and final PhD paper on modularity of the skull in convergently evolved myrmecophagous placental mammals has just been published in BMC Ecology and Evolution (doi:10.1186/s12862-022-02030-9). In this paper, we show that extreme rostrum elongation and tooth loss in myrmecophagid anteaters have resulted in a shift in intermodule correlations in the proximal region of the rostrum. In contrast, the similarly toothless pangolins show a weaker correlation between the

Sérgio's third PhD paper on comparative masticatory myology in anteaters and its implications for interpreting morphological convergence in myrmecophagous placentals has just been published in PeerJ (https://peerj.com/articles/9690/). This paper is based on both classical and digital dissections using contrast-enhanced µ-CT scanning of masticatory muscles on heads of the pygmy (Cyclopes didactylus), collared (Tamandua tetradactyla) and giant (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) anteater
