Daddy-longlegs were thought to have only one pair of eyes. until now 🤯! We report today in @CurrentBiology that extant daddy-longlegs have additional vestigial eyes seen in four-eyed fossil relatives. Vestigial organs, fossils and evodevo!!🌈.👀👀👀.

The discovery that lumps of metal on the seafloor produce oxygen raises questions over plans to mine the deep ocean.

This is an exciting direction to study the role of gene duplication in evolution! Ohno's ideas put to test.

It’s nuts! The ancestor of earthworms and leeches shattered and rearranged their chromosomes completely. They got the colorful play-dough that most animal phyla retain and mixed them into a purple/brown mess (we've all been there).
In one week, our paper on clitellate 🪱evolution came out on @biorxivpreprint on May 15th (left fig below), May 18th from @YJ_Luo (bottom-right), and yesterday @Rosamygale (top-right). As Dian-Han Kuo said, clitellate annelids are suddenly the hot topic! URLs in reply.

This paper features gene expression data in pseudoscorpions (!), solifuges (!), pycnogonids, mites, ticks, and daddy longlegs! It's a truly remarkable feat of comparative chelicerate evodevo!.

How do arachnids make the "knee" in their legs? .Very happy to be part of this study led by my former mentee Ben Klementz (grad @ the Sharma lab @UWiBio). Amazing collaboration with researchers in Australia, Austria, and Argentina. @labre_arg @univienna
