Investigating Olfaction in Mammalian Evolution with Amira Software

Dr. Quentin Martinez uses Amira Software combined with X-ray microtomography to investigate the evolution of olfactory organs in amphibious mammals. Amira Software allows him to visualize, segment, and quantify olfactory structures in museum specimens without damaging them. His research has demonstrated that amphibious mammals have reduced olfactory capacities compared to their terrestrial relatives, highlighting a pattern of convergent evolution.
