Wysocki Contributes to Sabretooth Reference

M. Aleksander Wysocki, a doctoral student in the computational cell biology, anatomy and pathology program studying under assistant professor Jack Tseng, PhD, wrote a chapter for the peer-reviewed book, published by Johns Hopkins University Press.

Intended to be definitive reference on these iconic Pleistocene mammals, the book:

• covers all major aspects of the animal's natural history, evolution, phylogenetic relationships, anatomy, biomechanics, and ecology,
• traces all three Smilodon species across both North and South America,
• brings together original, unpublished research with historical accounts of Smilodon's discovery in nineteenth-century Brazil.
