Mathilde, Lionel and Fred sampled the xenarthran collection at the Natural History Museum in London
Mathilde and Fred visited Lionel for a week during his sabbatical at the Natural History Museum in London (NHMUK) to sample the impressive xenarthran collection under the auspices of curator Roberto Portela Miguez. The museum skin samples will be used in ongoing genome-wide species delimitation studies in armadillos, anteaters, and sloths. #NHMUK #Morphology #Genomics #Museomics #Collections #Museum #Armadillos #Anteaters #Sloths
