The Back2Sea project explores how mammals have adapted their backbones during their return to aquatic environments. By examining vertebral structure and function, the project aims to understand the evolutionary changes associated with these transitions from land to water.
Unravelling adaptations and evolutionary impacts of major ecological transitions remains a central theme in evolutionary biology.
Secondary invasions of the aquatic realm by land-dwelling tetrapods are one such example, involving a shift from limb-based to axial-driven locomotion and accompanying reorganization of the postcranial skeleton.
Modifications of limbs to flippers are well documented, yet, adaptations of the backbone associated with these transitions remain poorly understood.
