Overview

Nathan P. Myhrvold is affiliated with Microsoft in the United States. Their research spans multiple fields, primarily focusing on Physics and Astronomy as well as Earth and Planetary Sciences. Within these domains, their work extensively covers subfields including Astronomy and Astrophysics, Paleontology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

The main topics that characterize their research output include Paleontology and Evolutionary Biology, Evolution and Paleontology Studies, Astro and Planetary Science, Turtle Biology and Conservation, Stellar, Planetary, and Galactic Studies, Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, and Ichthyology and Marine Biology.

Myhrvold has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Yixing Xu, Dhileep Sivam, Kaspar Mueller, Daniel Olsen, and Bainan Xia, each of whom has coauthored a dozen publications with them.

The scientist's recent publications highlight contributions to both paleontological and broader scientific inquiries. Notable papers include:

  • Growing up Tyrannosaurus rex: Osteohistology refutes the pygmy " Nanotyrannus " and supports ontogenetic niche partitioning in juvenile Tyrannosaurus, 2020, Science Advances
  • Spinosaurus is not an aquatic dinosaur, 2022, eLife
  • Growing up Tyrannosaurus rex: Osteohistology refutes the pygmy " Nanotyrannus " and supports ontogenetic niche partitioning in juvenile Tyrannosaurus, 2020, Global Biodiversity Information Facility
  • Diving dinosaurs? Caveats on the use of bone compactness and pFDA for inferring lifestyle, 2024, PLoS ONE
  • Spinosaurids as 'subaqueous foragers' undermined by selective sampling and problematic statistical inference, 2022, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Publications by Nathan P. Myhrvold have appeared in various venues, with a notable frequency in Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), The Planetary Science Journal, arXiv (Cornell University), and OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University).
