Que nos contan o ADN antigo e os herbarios sobre os bosques amazónicos? 🌳🧬 No #ConCienciasCreativas do pasado venres, o grupo GIBE mostrou como se ensambla ADN de restos aqueolóxicos precolombinos para estudar o domesticación de árbores tropicais e o seu papel na regulación do clima

Que nos contan o ADN antigo e os herbarios sobre os bosques amazónicos? 🌳🧬 No #ConCienciasCreativas do pasado venres, o grupo GIBE mostrou como se ensambla ADN de mostras modernas, históricas e precolombinas para estudar o cultivo de árbores de Inga. @udc.gal @sebot.bsky.social @sebicop.bsky.social

Registration is now open for the course PRINCIPLES OF EVOLUTION which will take place in Doñana National Park from 11–22 January 2027

Marta Riutort se jubila después de una larga trayectoria en la UB. Pionera en la aplicación de técnicas moleculares al estudio de filogenias de platelmintos, su trabajo ha contribuido de forma decisiva a reconstruir su historia evolutiva, especialmente de los triclados o planarias

‼️ Postdoc position open. We study how protein metabolism controls time. If you’re excited by this question, we’d love to hear from you! We’re looking for a motivated & collaborative researcher with a strong track record. 📅 30 September 2026 📢 Please share Apply here 👇👇

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...

New #preprint from @isabelalmudi.bsky.social group @geneticsub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social @ub.edu out now @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social on the evolutionary novelty of mayfly turbanate eyes 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature. Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Almudi #EED2026: the new male-specific eye evolved with gene duplication (dsx), specialisation and co-option of the gene regulatory network. The new dsx is Y-linked, thus new eye only in males.

Almudi #EED2026: single-cell of mayfly early nymph head: 7 eye-related clusters. Most clusters are male-biased: more of the same types of eye development cells, to make the extra TurbEye. The gene regulatory network of TurbEye have some novel interactions between TFs.

Isabel Almudi: Cleon dipterum mayflies lay eggs in water, which hatch immediately. At hatching, males and females have the same eyes, then during nymph stages the males develop an extra eye on top of the head. #EED2026

Don't miss "S12- Genomics in Evo-Devo - And what next?" this morning. Chaired by @nturetz.bsky.social we want to highlight, which approaches should/could follow the #genomics era. @isabelalmudi.bsky.social, @emiliapsantos.bsky.social, @margaridamcm.bsky.social, @renskevroomans.bsky.social #EED2026
