Great collaboration with @etschopp (FU Berlin), Andre Saleiro (University NOVA, Lisbon) & partners from LIB Hamburg! Niche partitioning in 3 Jurassic sauropod faunas revealed using dental microwear texture analysis.
We find hints of migratory behaviour for camarasaurids, and a distinct habitat effect for sauropods from Tendaguru - likely due to sand from a nearby desert that settled on forage plants.
