What do u get when you seclude 200 science comms in a small town in Northern Italy for 72 hh? You get Folle di Scienza & Strambinaria, two fantastic events by Frame Divagazioni Scientifiche.
We attended last weekend and got the chance to talk about WWA with many colleagues 🥹🫶🐜🖥️🧬 #SciComm #bugsky
It’s almost time for the Genomics for Biodiversity Conference — happening next week!

A vectorial digital drawing of a Siliqua patula, or Pacific Razor Clam, set against a pale blue background. The clam is shown extending its large, fleshy pale cream-colored siphon from one end of its shell. The shell itself is long, narrow, and slightly curved, with a glossy appearance. It is colored in shades of golden-brown and tan, featuring distinct concentric growth rings that run perpendicular to its length. The text "invertobter2025 - Day 12" is in the bottom right corner.
Particularly happy to see #bivalves! My PhD was almost entirely on bivalve #genomics, so Ive been drawing them for papers (self-promotion below) #MarineLife🖥️🧬

Tho this the first w/ soft parts too, instead of only the shell!
Day 12 of #invertober2025 is the Pacific razor clam
A vectorial digital drawing of a Formica paralugubris ant (a species of Wood Ant), viewed from above and set against a pale blue background. The ant has a distinct color pattern: the head is predominantly dark brown/black with some reddish-brown markings. The thorax and petiole are a bright orange-red/dark rust color, and the large abdomen is a solid dark brown/black. The legs are also dark brown/black. The text "invertobter2025 - Day 13 EXTRA" is in the bottom right corner.
2/2🧵But lets showcase an outstanding project about #ant #genomics: @woodwideants.bsky.social #bugsky🖥️🧬
Have a look at our social profiles and website: loads of science, #SciComm & teaching!
And for the #invertober community, a little EXTRA for Day13: Formica paralugubris, or the red wood ant!
A vectorial digital drawing of a Camponotus consobrinus ant, or Banded Sugar Ant, viewed from above and set against a pale blue background. The ant has a two-tone coloration: the head is black, the entire thorax and petiole are a bright yellow-orange/amber, and the large abdomen is primarily black with a clear, prominent yellow-orange band across the top of the gaster. The legs are dark. The text "invertobter2025 - Day 13" is in the bottom right corner.
1/2🧵Had a little PTSD for this pal👀
Lately Ive been working on #ant #genomics, and made some plates of ant morphology for #SciComm and teaching (EXTRA contents below).
Now for Day13 of #invertober2025 —the banded sugar ant— I... *exaptated* those drawings.

We produced complete genomes for 2 Xenarthra and placed them in a mammalian comparative framework. We found that Xenarthra harbour the largest number of retrocopies in mammals! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Graphical summary of the paper, showin several plots from the manuscript, including a phylogenetic tree of bivalves.
2nd paper outta my PhD is NOW PUBLISHED😭
🧬🖥️ 🦑Here we show how comparative #genomics 🧬 is a powerful tool to detect putative #SexDetermination genes: Dmrt1L & SoxH from #bivalves 🦪 share evolutionary patterns with Sry from #mammals 🐗 but not with genes from
#drosophila 🪰

'It is obvious that having your paper published in the same issue as a paper that gets 700 citations will have no influence on the quality & reception of your work, but that’s precisely the logic that publishers are trying to feed authors when they promote the impact factors of their journals.'

After the last Summer sampling our #ants have been sent to the sequencing facility. Almost ready to upgrade the assembly to chromosome level, finalizing the #referencegenome.
