Interested in doing a PhD with @DeepTimeEcology @CamZoology ? we have two great projects - with @DrManica investigating the eco-evolutionary dynamics of Ediacaran early animal communities zoo.cam.ac.uk/2025-26-projec…
Great to be at the Origins Federation 2024 conference hosted by @LeverhulmeCLU talking about our work on #Ediacaran #Cambrian ecological networks
Fantastic to be at the Life in the Planet 2024 conference with @fred_bowyer kicking off with the Ediacaran and Cambrian radiation and the rock record

Delighted that Nile's first paper is now out @NatureEcoEvo nature.com/articles/s41559-0… which investigates the driving forces behind the evolution of early metazoans from the Ediacaran time period ~565 million years ago.

Shrimp glow, did ya know?!!!
So proud of @prawn_princess_ for this review of bioluminescence in deep-sea decapods! We increase previous accounts by 65% and found most common form of GLOW is NOT what we expected. @FIUMarineBio @FIUEnvironment @FIUCASE
