I'm looking for PhD students to join the lab starting August 2026. We study the evolution of insect chemical signals combining evolutionary biology, chemical ecology, molecular biology, behavior, and genetics. More info here: https://t.co/uXGhUy5ZZc

‘Solar-powered’ sea slugs have specialized depots in their cells that store photosynthetic equipment looted from algae https://t.co/FWgC5RRBVh

Microbiomes shape our biology from gut-brain, skin, immunology, and more. Here, Rebecka Sepela et al explores octopus “taste by touch” sensation to ask how environmental microbiomes drive animal behavior. @CellPressNews, @MCB_Harvard, @MBLScience https://t.co/mxfkgoAVDA

Don't miss out working with one of the best and kindest scientists I know!! Neil Rosser’s lab at the University of Miami is currently recruiting graduate students interested in the evolution of tropical biodiversity https://t.co/qDmOAaMEPy

Speaking of flipping rocks, here’s our latest from the Ediacaran of South Australia! This new taxon, Quaestio simpsonorum, demonstrates that although the first animals can sometimes look a little like aliens, they provide really exciting insights into metazoan evolution!

Congratulations to #WPY60's Behaviour: Invertebrates winner! 🐜 Ingo Arndt (Germany) watched as red wood ants carved an already dead blue ground beetle into pieces small enough to fit through the entrance to their nest.

How do organisms evolve new traits and behaviors? In @AnnualReviews, @wendyssae surveys major sensory receptor families to uncover evolutionary patterns of sensation driving diversification and speciation. https://t.co/bfXLK98mQ6

Herbaria are invaluable repositories of biodiversity that serve as crucial resources for scientific research, conservation efforts, and education. Show your support to save the @DukeU Herbarium: https://t.co/QghmuBCA63

It's heartbreaking to see how war continues in Ukraine and Gaza. How do we seed human empathy more broadly?

Duke's destroying a globally recognized generational legacy. I know 15 biology faculty and curators who trained at Duke's herbarium, just in my 10 years there. 2023's Climate Commitment "for life"? A budget is a moral document and Duke has shown its cards.

Very disappointed to learn that @univgroningen is blocking funding for @MEME_evobio , jeopardising a programme that attracted many young researchers to evolutionary biology — especially those from the Global South
