🚨Another little promotional piece, this time from our collaborators in Utah. I hope this blog post will help, even in a small way, to raise awareness among Utahns about the fantastic Cambrian paleontological archive their state holds. @NHMU @BLMUtah nhmu.utah.edu/articles/2024/…

Delighted to share our new perspective article @JEvBio: rising evidence suggests unexpectedly robust link btw micro- and macroevolution. It challenges past views of evolution and calls for interdisciplinary research. #Evolution #EvoDevo #Paleontology 1/7

Side-resting evolved many times in #bivalves . Within some species individuals lie indifferently on either their right or left (randomly pleurothetic), whereas in others they lie consistently on one side (left-pleurothetic or right-pleurothetic).

🪸🐟Our new paper is out in @ConLetters this week. In it, we review and discuss in a broader context one of the most fundamental paradigms in reef management and conservation—the parrotfish paradigm: doi.org/10.1111/conl.13058

Snails 🐚 are slow, but they can evolve fast! Our new paper shows how one ecotype evolved into another on a tiny island 🏝️ within 30 years - and that we could predict changes at the phenotypic, but also at the genetic 🧬 level. 1/3

Ever wondered if moths and butterflies are distinct phylogenetic groups? It turns out that butterflies form a monophyletic group, but moths don't. Butterflies are actually nested within moth branches on the phylogenetic tree. #2024MMM pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…
ALT Dated evolutionary tree of butterfly and moth relationships. The tree shows that butterflies (Papilionoidea) form a monophyletic group (ie a group that consists of all the species that share a single common ancestor, and no species that are not descended from that ancestor) with its origin dating to the Cretaceous Period. Moths are not a monophyletic group, as the figure shows Papilionoidea butterflies nested within the branches of different moth taxa.
