Potomstwo w skrzelach. Ewolucyjny sukces małży z czasów dinozaurów - Serwis Naukowy UW

W skamieniałościach małży sprzed 125 milionów lat zachowały się skrzela - struktury delikatne niemal jak skrzydła motyla. Co więcej, przetrwały także ślady tego, w jaki sposób małże opiekowały się pot...

Interpreting Biotic Interactions in the Fossil Record: Evidence and Evolutionary Significance

Fossil biotic interactions (fBIs) provide a critical but underutilized window into the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of life through time. Unlike modern ecological data, the fossil record captu...

🍄 FunDive Webinar summer break Due to summer break, there will be no webinar in July. We will come back at the end of August, Tuesday 25.08 at 8:00 PM CET. Have a great summer!

This is what happens when you look under rocks in the bushes on holidays. You find something interesting, and then it turns out it's not good news for the endemic snails... More in the latest publication with @lgasiorowski.bsky.social in the journal BioInvasions Records: doi.org/10.3391/bir....

Divergent evolution of the Wnt signaling system in flatworms

Regenerative capacity varies widely across flatworms (Platyhelminthes). Whereas catenulids, microstomids and planarians can regenerate a complete head de novo, other flatworms cannot. This striking di...

biorxiv.org

Probably flatworms are not the first animal group that comes to your mind when you think about coloniality. However, some of them can form colony-like linear chains composed of zooids. Here, we investigate why and how those chains are formed in the genus Stenostomum: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Cieplejsze oceany, mniejsze zwierzęta. Przełom w badaniach nad efektem Liliputa - Serwis Naukowy UW

Gdy oceany się ogrzewają, niektóre zamieszkujące je organizmy stają się mniejsze. Najnowsze badania pokazują, że ten zapisany w skamieniałościach wzorzec powtarza się od setek milionów lat. Czy powinn...
