Thank you @bettinevv. It wouldn't have been possible without you!

Today #PublicationThursday features an article from the molzoolab (CEGWC) titled *Mitogenome selection in the evolution of key ecological strategies in the ancient hexapod class Collembola*. Read more below @UJScience @MonsantoDaniela @bettinevv europepmc.org/article/pmc/pm…

Selection and ecological strategies in Collembola. A collaboration with global experts, driven by @MonsantoDaniela , @Devinmain, @Shilps07. Key inputs from @wildlifeomics @cjanion @JacoLeRoux01 @peterteskebe, and others. @ujlibscience @UjZoology disq.us/t/4acfvlg

Happy Earth Day from our wonderful urban green space at UJ! #EarthDay2021 #zoology #environment #WeCare

Recent study explores impact of #wind on #plantcommunities 🍃 Wind stress affects #species richness, #vegetation cover, & species composition! #Climatechange impact predictions should consider wind patterns. @UPTuks @unisa @helsinkiuni @MiaMomberg @Gap_10 doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Congratulations to our class of 2020. You did exceptionally well in a very difficult year!

#whoarewe this week features Prof Peter Teske, our go to for all things related to marine genomics! Read about him here

#WhoAreWe Today we feature Devon Main, a #PhD student whose study focusses on the #chameleon genus Bradypodion. Read about his journey below.

Day 3 of prep for #jerusalemachallenge It feels like time is flying and soon we will be doing the final dance. Some are hurting in places they didn't know could hurt, others are living their best life! Thank you to the amazing @bettinevv for pulling us all together to do this!
