Dr Ercoli is an Associate Researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), working at the Instituto de Ecorregiones Andinas (INECOA, UNJu-CONICET), Jujuy, Argentina. He specializes in topics related to comparative anatomy, functional morphology, and paleobiology of South American mammals. More specifically, Dr Ercoli is currently working on the myology and osteology of the cranium and postcranium of living and extinct mammals, including ungulates, rodents, and carnivores.
Jamie A. MacLaren, PhD, Department of Biology, Universiteit Antwerpen, and Department of Geology, Université de Liège, Belgium
Dr Jamie MacLaren is a FWO Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Functional Morphology Lab (Department of Biology, Universiteit Antwerpen) and Honorary Research Associate at the Evolution and Diversity Dynamics Lab (Université de Liège), based in Belgium. He specializes in research on comparative anatomy, functional morphology, biomechanics, and paleobiology, predominantly on mammals and reptiles. Currently, Dr MacLaren works on quantitative osteology, musculature, and evolution of the feeding and locomotor systems of living and extinct mammals (specializing in ungulates), in addition to using 3D scanning, morphometry, and biomechanical analyses working on extinct and extant carnivorans, squamates, and a range of secondarily aquatic tetrapods.
