🚨 Wereldwijd neemt het aantal insecten in hoog tempo af. 🚨 In ons onderzoek (@ScienceMagazine) keken wij naar het effect van niet-dodelijke (subletale) hoeveelheden van >1000 verschillende #pesticiden op het gedrag en de ontwikkeling van #insecten. 🧵👇 (1/8)

Had a blast at #EED2024, met wonderful people, had memorable discussions, and learned a ton from all the fascinating talks! Thanks to the organisers for this smoothly organised conference, looking forward to the next edition!

Excited for tomorrow after such a great start at #EED2024! #cowsaresecondarycarnivores

Rumour* has it Frank Herbert was inspired to create the Dune sandworms after seeing the mouths of Allodiplogaster sudhausi under a microscope. *This rumour can't be confirmed and may or may not have originated from this tweet.

@haihuybmp @gunsnrosesgirl3 It's also a (land) planarian. They're everywhere!

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Similar to flatworms, this hammerhead worm also has the same ability to regenerate 🔥 📹 NicMalexandre twitter.com/NicMAlexandre/…

Planarians are small flatworms found globally, exhibit remarkable regenerative abilities. If cut into pieces, each segment can regenerate into a complete worm offering potential for medical advancements in regenerative medicine twitter.com/omg_interestin…

So excited to see the work I contributed to during my MSc come out. Huge applause to Audrey for improving and expanding those beginnings into this beautiful study. Thank you Mike for starting this project with me and including me to the end!

New preprint! :-D With @xux41423947 @JinghengChen @ Shibo Hou @ Jie Du @bartpannebakker @ Bas Zwaan @ Joost van den Heuvel @Jackson_Champer

"Grub's up!" Asian Hornet larvae and pupae became the second most important species in the diet of Honey Buzzards in southwestern Europe just 4 years after the invasive wasp species appeared in the area 👉 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… @IanRHartley @tandfonline #BirdStudy

Had a great time at #SMBE2023! Inspiring talks and amazing people! Lots to think about now for #planarian size evolution! Also definitely prettiest conference location I've been to, many thanks to the organisers!

Rolling out the red carpet this #FlatwormFriday for the Diversibipalium multilineatum. Not just a globetrotter from Japan to Europe, but a real 'long-distance' runner too. Maybe their length helps with the jet lag! 🪱✈️ #AlienSpecies

#WormWranglers at #BlackForest. We were having a lot of fun at the DB Unit Retreat! Thanks the amazing organizing team, including @AleReversi @DrMattBenton @vincentflora @jordivangestel @noa_ottilie!!!

Are you a graduate student or a post-doc with a STEM background? #EMBOPlasticity will uncover how the dynamic interplay between organisms and their changing environment impacts developmental processes and evolutionary novelty 🦠🔬📊 ✍🏽 Apply by 2 May! 🔎 s.embl.org/ptd23-01

Also big thanks to both reviewers, we've made some significant improvements on our original preprint. Notably, with the more realistic parameterisation of resistance alleles, our conclusion on the viability of gene drives in Eusocial wasps has become less gloomy!

My first ever first-author paper has now officially been published!!! Thank you @GregorGorjanc for the opportunity, and thank you @Nicky_Faber_, @BenTaylorEvo, and @Harpur for your vital contribution! Read our improvements at: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Tasmanian flatworms are part of an EMBL researcher’s collection for studying principles that control animal body size. Hanh Vu's research group uses comparative genomic approaches to understand genetic and environmental regulation of planarian body size. embl.org/news/picture-o…
