Platypus (Platypi?) hairs have never-before-seen, hollow, meatball-shaped melanosomes that apparently serve no function in color! wild stuff from EON PhD student Jess Dobson

Nice article in @newscientist on Jess's @JesssDob new paper on iridescent mammals!

We are very excited to share our new paper in Science! We show that a diverse group of Jurassic and Cretaceous mammals all had darkly-colored fur.
Well how did we do this? Let' start at the beginning!

Iridescence is everywhere, sometimes in unexpected places like the sesame seed-sized eggs of stick insects! Our new paper, led by @GerbenDebruyn, shows that this color is produced by thin-film interference by a nanoscale outer layer, and functions in ??

For the color nerds, egg lovers, or anyone who enjoys a good evolutionary mystery—join me at #ICE2024 on Monday 11:30 (Room C-2) for my egg-citing talk: ‘From Camouflage to Thermoregulation: Multiple selection pressures shape the reflectance of Stick and Leaf insect eggs.’

Wonderful set of drawings by @TillySScott to summarise the last day of talks. I love mine, thank you🥳

The last set of talks from @EMPSEB29 last week! All in the field of evolutionary ecology. Genome assembly of an Andrena bee and gene expansion; mammalian colour @JesssDob; allopatric speciation; adaptive sulfur uptake @ShuklaVarsa & stressors of global pest mite @GulsamalA

@GulsamalA Thank you! So pleased to hear you enjoyed it!🦊🐼 you did a great job organising it too!

Due to organizational work, I missed many presentations, couldn’t talk to most participants. However, I was impressed by everyone’s passion for their research. One of them is @JesssDob shared findings on evolution of color in mammals. Now I know, mammals are cool and colorful 🐆

If we asked you what is the color of mammals. You will say it is brown. It it's not true. With Jessica Dobson @JesssDob, we see the drivers of mammalian colour evolution. #EMPSEB29

Thanks for having me @EMPSEB29! An incredible week with great talks. Super happy to have been awarded best poster, and runner up best presentation🦊🐼🐯

Two fully-funded interdisciplinary PhD positions available in our lab! One on mechanisms of color production in diverse animals (🐦⬛🕷️🐟), one on acoustic camouflage in moths. Please RT or apply here:

Sunbirds are both speciose and colourful. Are these linked?
In our new article together with @SvanaRogalla, @GerbenDebruyn, @NickJMatzke, @mdshawkey and others not on X we explore this idea.
