📢Fresh from the press:
Lots of fieldwork and bitten fingers lead to a #biteforce database of 654 #insect species! Check out the results of the great team effort of the @BlankeLab @ScientificData:

An updated version of the Stack cropping and rotation macro for Imagej/Fiji is out!
This free script allows cropping of a rotated Region-Of-Interest (ROI) and down-scaling of results to a user-defined stack size. And it comes with a GUI!

This year's Phylogenetic Symposium will take place @UniBonn with exciting keynote speakers discussing "Macroevolutionary Dynamics" to reach a more integrative understanding of interspecific variation! Register till the end of September (!) at tiny.one/PS2022! #PS2022

Dear students and colleagues,
after a two year break, you can plan again for the Phylogenetic Symposium! 18th to 20th of November 2022 at the University of Bonn. Check out and register at: evolution.uni-bonn.de/en/phy…

Two years in the making, my take at illustrating bird phylogeny: deviantart.com/albertonykus/…

Amazing to see the final product of an amazing project that members of the @DNArthropods lab first heard of (and saw the work while in the field) back in 2019!
@Peter_Th_R is sharing his HUGE dataset of insect bite force measurements at #ICE2022

The ability to ‘bite hard’ is beneficial for crushing food & winning in fights but is costly. @Peter_Th_R & @BlankeLab at @UniBonn present a mobile system for measuring & analysing small animal bite force to learn more about their evolution. Read more: britishecologicalsociety.org…

Today I had the great pleasure to meet @AnthonyHerrel @Le_Museum and get some salamander bite force data to compare with my insect measurements! All snakes failed to cooperate though 😋

Ever wanted to measure and analyse bite forces of small animals? Check out our #forceX setup and #forceR package that just came out @MethodsEcolEvol: bit.ly/3bp7TgY

Sucking #millipedes: Similar to some insects and other arthropods, millipedes ingest liquid food using a sucking pump. Sucking pumps has thus evolved independently in different groups of arthropods. See publication: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

#blog: In this special memorial post, we pay tribute to Dr. Christian Peeters @bullant56, who died a little over a year ago. Friends and colleagues of Christian share some memories, stories, and pictures @CorrieMoreau @ant_explorer @EvanEconomo @rkellerp blog.myrmecologicalnews.org/…

Are you using #Checkpoint to place your #landmarks? Our new macro lets you create Checkpoint files (ckpt) directly from within @FijiSc / #ImageJ, so you can skip the Checkpoint import procedure! Check it out @github: github.com/Peter-T-Ruehr/che…

Are you using #Checkpoint in your #GeometricMorphometrics workflow? Our new script lets you import #landmarks directly from Checkpoint files (*.ckpt) into #RStats, so you can skip the Checkpoint export procedure! Check it out @github: github.com/Peter-T-Ruehr/che…

Exciting new project on defensive gland evolution in stick insects starting soon at @UGoe_AEB and @uniGoettingen. Thanks to #DFG for funding!
