A new special issue of Philosophical Transactions B takes on one of science’s biggest questions: how life begins. Rather than retracing Earth’s history, the authors look for the universal conditions — energy, chemistry, information — that could make life possible anywhere. The

Excited that our new paper is featured on the cover of J. R. Soc. Interface! (Rare to see termites there, right?) We show how termites use their antennae and palps to stay in contact while tandem running. https://t.co/sKD9U5lj48

Our new paper in @RSocPublishing is out now We show that modern crocodiles evolved flatter and weaker skulls from domed ancestors to adapt to life in water, trading skull strength for streamlining 🐊 Read here: https://t.co/Acr5tvxP6U

Happy belated #FossilFriday! By analyzing the stable isotopes (carbon and oxygen) from the molars of Palaeoloxodon, we showed that they lived in a C4-dominated ecosystem, similar to the African savanna, in RSOS. Open access: https://t.co/MuGVklZ47i

We discovered a new species Corallizoanthus aureus, from the deep sea off Daito Island in Japan. The bioluminescence behaviour is also documented for the first time in this genus. Details are in @royalsociety Open Science. https://t.co/ngEyI7Woo3

Bioluminescence is a common phenomenon found in many marine environments and has evolved independently dozens of times across the Tree of Life. In Anthozoa, a single origin of bioluminescence in...

Happy #WildWednesday! So happy that our new paper just came out in RSOS today - open access: https://t.co/xGKlT243MI It's pretty wild to know that we had an African-like savanna in the Far East! Second paper from Deep's PhD project - excellent work!

What happens if your asexual reproduction goes wrong? For instance, you can grow a head instead of a tail. But if you're a flatworm, it's not that bad - as we showed in our newest paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: https://t.co/iZNSWMIERj

Awesome paper from Charlie Feigin @LTrobeCalldQust about coat colour patterning in marsupials, uncovering what causes dark fur in some quolls and white fur in marsupial moles! @UniMelb @BioSci_UniMelb

Pigmentation in mammalian hair follicles is governed in part by interactions between agouti signalling protein (ASIP) and the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). The most common coat colours in mammals...
