Today, Tòt Senar and Maria Rosselló were at the Science Fair showing how cute our mayflies are IRBioUB

We will open soon a position for a bioinformatician to work in our European Research Council (ERC) project on the origin of new organs during insect's conquest of the sky at GeneticsUB IRBioUB in beautiful Barcelona. Contact us if you R interested, more info: mayflyecoevodevo.com/joinus please rt!

📢📆10 days to apply! Bioinformatician position in the lab. If you are interested in insect evolution please, check: mayflyecoevodevo.com/joinus at GeneticsUB IRBioUB in Barcelona

I'm extremely honoured to attend to #ICIV23 and to being able to present a cute mayfly poster!

Great symposium organised by IRBioUB at Facultat de Biologia UB in which Antoni Ruiz and Tòt Senar presented their work on #evodevo and #mayflies 🤩 GeneticsUB SESBE

We humans, and many other animal species are bad at regenerating lost or damaged organs. But there are some organisms that regenerate pretty well. Why that difference? And how do regenerators manage to achieve this feat? Centro Andaluz de Biología del Desarrollo GeneticsUB CSIC IRBioUB SEBD

Liderado por Tòt Senar, hemos escrito esta revisión sobre los ojos de los insectos y su evolución

🚨Great news🚨 Our latest preprint is out on BioRxiv: "Gene regulatory dynamics during the development of a paleopteran insect, the mayfly Cloeon dipterum." biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We used ATAC-seq to explore gene regulation in mayfly embryos. Curious? Read on! 🧵

🧵 Descobreix com estem explorant la regulació gènica en les efímeres i desxifrant l'origen de les ales dels insectes! Fa poc al laboratori hem publicat un nou preprint. Vols saber-ne més? Aquí tens un petit fil explicatiu en català.

THIS IS NOT A FISH! This is an open ocean sea slug called Phylliroe. Phyliroe swims like a fish, hunts like a fish, and eats like a fish. This is an example of "convergent evolution," when animals do similar things nature selects similar body types.

Back to Barcelona after #EED2024 in Helsinki the whole week!

The remarkable wings of Ryothemis fuliginosa, the butterfly dragonfly. While most of the time they look a dark black, they shimmer with iridescence when viewed from above. Males display this iridescence to eachother when fighting.

Here's your regular reminder that the Diamondback Squid (Thysanoteuthis rhombus) lays eggs in these massive egg masses that look like giant pink slinkies. These egg masses can be .6 to 1.8 m in length with a diameter of 11 to 30 cm and they can contain 35,000 to 75,000 eggs!

📢 The Almudi lab is looking for a #PhD candidate to work on phenotypic plasticity & sex determination using #mayflies. If you'd like to join us in vibrant Barcelona, check here: mayflyecoevodevo.com/joinus IRBioUB SESBE SEBD Euro Evo Devo 2024 LifeHUB.CSIC Genoma Hub CSIC IBUB-UB

Still some days to apply to this 4-years PhD position to join our lab and enjoy working with #mayflies, phenotypic plasticity and sex determination 👇

Very proud of Carlos Martín-Blanco who defended his PhD yesterday. We will miss Carlos deeply and we wish him all the best for his next step in Paris
