Hey there, I am looking for a project management tool, ideally something that can deal with both dry and wet lab approaches. Any tips? Thanks!!!

What happens when evolution adds an extra pair of eyes? Male mayflies evolve an extra pair of dorsal compound eyes, the Turbanate eyes, thought to help males detect females during mating swarms. we have investigate how this remarkable evolutionary novelty develops. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very cool new pre-print from @rmash.bsky.social and team “…parental care shapes the storage, expression and release of genetic variation…” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Parental care is a genetic capacitor

Parental care is widespread across the animal kingdom and plays a critical role in offspring development. Yet, its broader genetic and evolutionary impacts remain underexplored. Here, using the bipare...
