Evolution and Development

Welcome to Evolution & Development on X! We are here to promote and serve the wider community of Evo-Devo scientists. #evodevo #devbio @WileyEcolEvol onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/152514…

Feather buds on the wing of the chicken embryo after twelve days of development, captured with light sheet microscopy 🔬🐣

Using an embryo-model to study Hoxb13 regulation and its impact on tail growth. Now @PNASNews 🙏Lucille, Joska, Celia, Hocine et al👍@EPFL @UNIGEnews @cdf1530 @the_Node #InHoxWeTrust pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

At #EMBOtissueRepair this week? Our Senior Editor @amjeve is around to chat about the journal and our publisher @Co_Biologists. To accompany the workshop, we've compiled this collection of the most recent regenerative biology articles in Development: journals.biologists.com/dev/collection…

Apply now for our Undergraduate Diversity at Evolution program! Are you an undergrad interested in ecology, evolution or related fields? This program provides funding, mentoring, and a presentation opportunity at #Evol2025. Apply by January 20! evolutionsociety.org/content/educat… @Evol_mtg

Developmental biology studies result in impactful discoveries in biomedical research. @SocDevBio

JCS-FocalPlane Training Grants are aimed at early-career researchers, working in an area covered by @J_Cell_Sci, who would like to attend a #microscopy training course. The next deadline to apply for up to £1,000 is 22 November. biologists.com/grants/jcs-foc… @focalplane_jcs

New paper: A new motile animal with implications for the evolution of axial polarity from the Ediacaran of South Australia. A great example of the scope of Evolution & Development. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

See our latest work on 'Signatures of convergence in Neotropical cichlid fish' @Marialen91 @sebracamonte doi.org/10.1111/mec.17…

Morphogens in the evolution of size, shape and patterning In this Review, Lewis Mosby, Amy Bowen and @z_hvas @TheCrick @UCL explore how morphogen-mediated patterning evolve and how theory and experiment can be interwoven to bring new perspectives: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

During the land-to-sea transition of #cetaceans (#whales, #dolphins and #porpoises), the hindlimbs were lost and replaced by a tail #fluke. #Genes regulating #limb growth and patterning also govern #evolutionary development of the tail fluke. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7… @l_gavazzi

Congratulations to Denis Duboule @Duboule for being awarded the 2025 ISDB Harrison Medal for his contributions to the understanding of gene regulation, particularly the Hox gene family, and their spatial collinearity in vertebrates 🎉🎉🏅 developmental-biology.org/news/2025-winn…

"What aspects of the environment trigger changes in an organism’s form and physiology and how do organisms sense these?" Núria Ros-Rocher, @juliar_mateu & @MarInvMet report from the #EED2024 symposium 'Environmental Cues for Life Cycle Transitions'👇 thenode.biologists.com/environmental-…

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

Scientific illustration is a great tool to help understand complex topics. I've created an infographic explaining @millieerace's exciting research on zebrafish neural development, which she presented at the @YEN_community 2024 meeting! 🐟🧠 thenode.biologists.com/different-ways…
