🔬 Sabies que…?

🧬 El Cloeon dipterum és una espècie d’efímera molt comuna i interessant dins de l’ordre Ephemeroptera i de la família Baetidae. És una de les efímeres més conegudes d’Europa i s’utilitza com a espècie model per estudiar el desenvolupament d’aquests insectes aquàtics. 1/2

A toolkit for testing membrane-localising tags across species Transgenic markers and tools have revolutionised how we study cells and developing organisms. Some of the elements needed to construct those tools are universally applicable (e.g. fluorescent proteins...

How can we see the cells that make up a living organism? Membrane-localising tags can drive fluorescent proteins to the cell's outer membrane, making their outlines visible. But the tags don't work well in all organisms. How do you find one for your species of interest? 🧵

Congrats! Beutiful work 😍

Revised evolutionary relationships within Brachycera and the early origin of bicoid in flies Mulhair et al. uncover a functional bicoid in non-cyclorrhaphan flies, pushing the gene's origin back by ∼20 million years. Reassessing the Diptera phylogeny using the largest dataset to date permits ...

Latest work out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social

We find the fly development gene bicoid is much older than previously thought (~20 million yrs older!) 🪰🧬

To pinpoint its origins we tackled the Diptera phylogeny, providing some resolution (many open questions remain).

Last day to send an abstract for the next sesbe meeting in Valencia! Don't miss the oportunity

One mother for two species via obligate cross-species cloning in ants - Nature In a case of obligate cross-species cloning, female ants of Messor ibericus need to clone males of Messor structor to obtain sperm for producing the worker caste, resulting in males from the same mother having distinct genomes and morphologies.

[13/14]🐜 🧬 Esto convierte a ambos copartícipes en pareja sexual obligada, y esta reproducción de un genoma foráneo dentro del ciclo de vida de la especie domesticadora recuerda a procesos evolutivamente tan lejanos como la domesticación de orgánulos dentro de las células eucariotas.

⏰Only two days left for abstract submission!

📌 The X Meeting of the Spanish Society for Evolutionary Biology @sesbe-org.bsky.social
will take place January 21–23, 2026, in vibrant Valencia, Eastern Spain 🇪🇸☀️🌊

Check all the info at sesbe2026.es, and follow us for updates!

Deadline tomorrow, hurry up 😀!

Interested in understanding how new cell types evolve? Consider joining our group for a PhD!

Huge congrats!!

One week to apply for our fully funded PhD position in Norway! This is a really exciting project in collab. with University of Helsinki and Benchmark Genetics.

Samples are ready - you do (read: learn) everything - functional genomics, bioinformatics, genotype-phenotype associations 🤩

Please RT!

We are very pleased to announce our joint meeting with the German @gfeev.bsky.social and the Dutch Developmental Biology Societies, which will take place in Potsdam from the 10-13th of March 2026. Registration is now open! www.uni-potsdam.de/en/gfe-meeti...

Next March 2026 the joint meeting of the @sebioldev.bsky.social @gfeev.bsky.social and Dutch societies for #DevBio will take for place in Potsdam. From the @geneticsub.bsky.social it counts with the participation of @sofiajaraujo.bsky.social as organizer & @isabelalmudi.bsky.social as a speaker
