We are so excited to welcome Marcos Simoes-Costa to UC Davis next week for the Joint Seminars in Molecular Biology where he will talk about “Metabolic Control of the Neural Crest Epigenome.” The seminar will be on Tuesday 4/16 at 1:10 PM in Green Hall 1022. Please join us!

Thrilled to share a *NEW PRE-PRINT* I’ve been working on for the last few years! Michael Sheehan, W. Freiwald, and I describe the neural correlates of individual facial recognition in a social wasp, Polistes fuscatus. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

Controlled failure: The building designed to limit catastrophe. New design - inspired by lizard tails - could save lives by isolating collapsing sections of damaged buildings nature.com/articles/d4158…

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).

1/10 ⏰⏰ The final version of our #anglerfish #evolution paper is out Current Biology ! In it, we demonstrate how this clade rapidly assembled a unique trait-sexual parasitism-and secondarily invaded the open ocean in a manner reminiscent of whales! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

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

Now out OA and in its final version Current Biology: Pheromone representation in the ant antennal lobe changes with age. Lead by Taylor, with crucial assistance from Lindsey Lopes and Dominic Frank Rockefeller University. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

✨Huge✨ congratulations to Kaylin Chong on the publication of her 1st paper on the evolution of 🕷️ eye size in Current Biology yesterday! 🎉 Full 🧵 later but if allometry, kooky eyes & comparative phylogenetic methods float your boat, look no further 👀 cell.com/current-biolog…

When it comes to climate change research, a lot of the news is bad. But MBL The Grass Foundation Fellow Aalok Varma, UC San Diego, is taking a deeper look at some organisms that are doing well in the face of climate change—cephalopods. mbl.edu/news/what-can-…

Most incredible science discovery this decade! Changes every textbook. Manganese nodules produce oxygen in the #deepsea!!? ⁦These are the nodules targeted for mining… they make oxygen… 😳🤯⁩ ⁦The Deep-Sea Podcast⁩ ⁦Deep-Sea Biology Society⁩ ⁦Rebecca Morelle⁩ bbc.com/news/articles/…
