What an amazing week at #EED2024. Here the current and former @MSarsCentre members in Helsinki 😎

Göttinger Hornklee auf Wikipedia 🥳 Hornklee (Lotus corniculatus) ist 1 der ökologisch wertvollsten heimischen Pflanzenarten - über 60 Wildbienenarten sammeln an ihm Pollen.🐝 Das Hornklee-Beet im Alten Botanischen Garten der @uniGoettingen dient bei Wikipedia als Illustration!

link.springer.com/article/10.100… Finally out, Milly Johnson's first work on the boring bryozoan genus Immergentia!

We have the Platynereis dumerilii, P. megalops, and P. massiliensis draft genomes out as a preprint! There is much left to improve but we are excited to share these genomes with our community and beyond.

And that's a wrap of our wonderful Platynereis Satellite! Look at this lovely group of people (Platynereis and friends)! Many thanks to other annelid researchers for joining us and blowing our minds with their cool species! #EED2024 #WormWednesday #Platynereis

Phylogenomic reconstruction influenced by assembly and annotation parameters: Using whole genome data to unravel the relationships of Spionidae (Annelida), by @BogantesVik @kmkocot @Ken_Halanych onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

For a special #WormWednesday - A big thread about our new paper in @CurrentBiology about the amazing eyes of alciopids! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… /1

At the beginning of last year, Xiaoyu Yang came with a @AvHStiftung fellowship and a beautiful Cambrian annelid fossil to our department. Have a look what it means for annelid evolution, with @MTAguado and @conrad_helm royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Finally out. Two years ago we rediscovered Monobryozoon ambulans from its type locality, Helgoland. Read more about its morphology and phylogenetic position here. with @SH_Decker @ahmedjoudahnass and Christian Baranyi

The #YRMM24 poster price goes to Michael Csader.

Congratulations to @IBarutia for the voted best talk @YRMM24

@morphonews Second day morning plenary by Simon Poppinga - how plants catch animals - amazing! #YRMM24

It was a great pleasure to be at @YRMM24, as always with fantastic talks and great discussions. I am very delighted of how warmly our locust ears (@soundlabJena) were received! Thanks to all! @Heethoff and @sibdaman many special thanks for the organization! @morphonews

Another candidate to human-mediated transport: molecular evidence confirms that Alitta succinea (Nereididae: Annelida) is a widespread species link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The @UGoe_AEB phylogenomics master course is starting today, featuring Thilo Schulze, @hyperion96 and @ferenc_kagan

March against the far right unites 15,000 people in small Goettingen. Hundreds of thousands protest across Germany. #noafd #wirsindmehr

Today we have @Hejnol_Lab and his MicroZoo as guest in the @UGoe_AEB seminar

Wanninger lab gets the sting: first paper of our lab on cnidarians! Big congrats to our Masters student Klara who revealed neurogenesis in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea. Great collaboration with ⁦⁦@HausdesMeeres⁩ and ⁦@zoovienna⁩ 👇👇 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
