Interim profesor for Paleozoology at University of Bonn. Paleontologist, vertebrate morphologist, and everything teeth. Wear, form, function, diet reconstruction, tribology, and mostly dental microwear texture. Working on archosaurs, lepidosaurs, mammals....From Hamburg to Mainz to Tokyo to Kiel to Bonn :)

I am very happy to announce that I am starting a new position as Interim Professor (German: "Vertretungsprofessorin") at the University of Bonn!
This is an excellent opportunity to broaden my teaching skills and develop an interdisciplinary research focus on paleobiology of tetrapods. Let's go!

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.

Collection visit @UniHalle in the Zentralmagazin Naturwissenschaftlicher Sammlungen for my master student's project! Had such a warm welcome, great staff and exciting material to work with! Also saw the really cool, historic zoology collection! #domestication #microwear 🦷#teeth #dentalwear

Happy international women's day! My university is celebrating with the women's talk marathon, where female scientists from all disciplines present themselves and their research. I was happy to be part of it talking about teeth 🦷 #InternationalWomensDay #caukiel #WomenInScience

Just out for #FossilFriday !🦕🌿New research employing DMTA on ornithopods reveals shifts in dental microwear during the Cretaceous. Phytolith-rich angiosperms may be the key to these changes. #DinosaurDiet #Evolution #Paleontology #microwear https://doi.org/10.1111/pala.12681

First application of #DentalMicrowear texture analysis to infer #theropod feeding #ecology: Daniela Winkler et al. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pala.12632

By taking 3D images of individual teeth and analyzing the pattern of marks scratched into them, researchers could reason which #dinosaurs may have frequently crunched on hard bone and which may have regularly eaten softer foods and prey.

Dinosaur teeth reveal what they didn't eat

Scratches on dinosaur teeth could reveal what they really ate. For the first time, dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has been used to infer the feeding habits of large theropods, including Allosaurus and T. rex.

New paper out! Dental microwear texture analysis (#DMTA) of #theropods indicates ontogenetic niche shift, but no frequent osteophagy in #tyrannosaurs. Thanks for the great collaboration GSFS University of Tokyo, University of Mainz, LIB Hamburg!

My first post ("Tröt") here! Hope some people came over from twitter, where I am still as @laellyn1.

We just published a great collaboration between several dental #microwear texture researchers on comparability of #SSFA in Toothfrax and #MountainMaps!
Please check it out, this is important for future studies, as Toothfrax will not be updated and maintained!
