Now you see it, now you don't: the vomeronasal organ of bats. Just out in The Anatomical Record with Sharlene Santana Thomas Eiting and Abigail Curtis (she/her) See anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Grateful to the coverage by UF College of Liberal Arts and Sciences of the work that Amanda Subalusky and I do. For a rapid dive into our world, check out the video! 🙏 UF Department of Biology FLORIDA UF Biodiversity Institute UF Center for African Studies University of Florida International Center news.clas.ufl.edu/animal-microbi…

Check out this #shark skin-tooth rainbow! Isabella Campos, our summer U.S. National Science Foundation #REU student, made this awesome video of a CT-scanned segment of catshark skin with denticles. The big denticles are first to form on the dorsal surface of the shark baby! 🦈🦷🌈 #teetheverywhere #babyshark

Such an odd fish. The Bristlenose or Bushynose Ancistrus armored catfish (Loricariidae). The males have elaborate fleshy tentacle-like projections (bristles) on the head. Wesley Dillard studies the development of odontodes; tooth-like structures that cover the body and fins. 😻

Introducing the Paleo-FISHES Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) The Paleo(biology/oceanography) - Fossil Ichthyoliths, Sedimentary History, and Ecological Studies Lab focuses on how fish, sharks and marine ecosystems interact environmental changes through (deep) time. www2.whoi.edu/site/paleofish…

The last few days of #OMIBS2024 has been all Fluorescence, FRET, FLIM, Fourier transforms and PSFs. We built another scope… fluorescence this time. Here’s an image of us with our microscope then an FFT image of that image! Optical Microscopy Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)

Check out this bearded dragon embryo (~30 days old) imaged with light sheet fluorescence microscopy 🦎🔬

I'm thrilled to reveal the cover of my new book, coming Feb. 2025! ENDS OF THE EARTH: Journeys to Polar Regions in Search of Life, the Cosmos, and our Future. Preorder here: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/692649/e… 1/4

Cool shot of a baby chain catshark (Scyliorhinus retifer) by Ella Nicklin showing off its amazing bristle-like coat of skin teeth.. there are thousands of erupted dermal denticles covering the body. Each one is made of the hardest materials in nature and ready for action!⛓️😸🦈

Everyone, meet Colin. Colin is the holotype of a new species of long-nosed chimaera 👻🦈- the Australiasian Narrow-nosed Spookfish #sharkscience doi.org/10.1007/s10641…

Ever wondered how stem cells ensure a balance between cell fates in the gut?⚖️Turns out, they’ve got rhythm!🎶Our latest research reveals that NOTCH-driven oscillations regulate stem/progenitor cell abundance and specify secretory subtypes. Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fabulous work on a frog novelty by Gayani Senevirathne royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Excited about this one. Patterns of dermal denticle loss in sharks! Less than 6% of the sharks skin surface undergoes replacement of lost denticles! Congrats to Dylan Wainwright Molly K. Gabler-Smith, Ph.D. georgelauder and team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jm…

My department at UMass Boston is searching for an Assistant Professor of Biology in marine ecology (or evolution), broadly defined. More details here: employmentopportunities.umb.edu/boston/en-us/j…. Please RT & share.

New Paper Alert. Ella Nicklin leads our new paper in Developmental Biology Evolution, development, and regeneration of tooth-like epithelial appendages in sharks. What do all 'odontodes' have in common? Is a tooth, just a tooth? #sharks #teeth #skinteeth sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Are you a Developmental Biologist going on the job market? Consider applying to University of Michigan Department of Cell and Developmental Biology! UMCDB

First author paper is out, ft. some pretty uCT scans I've been sitting on! Excited to see this one through with our team. Where do "odontodes" come from? What are they made of? How do they develop and regenerate in #sharks? #teeth #denticles #odontodes #evodevo

Toothy skin! Perfectly uniform skin denticles of the juvenile Nurse Shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum). These flat 'skin-teeth' give these sharks a super smooth surface, for drag reduction or relaxing in tropical warm waters? Ella Nicklin Florida Museum #shark #skinteeth #denticles
