Still time to submit abstracts —due March 16!— for our Comparative #Cartilage & #Bone Biology (CCBB) conference (ccbb-conference.com). A forward-thinking, interactive and inclusive conference for lovers of skeletal (and dental) tissues. Cutting edge work on #skeletalbiology, intimate discussions and great wine in southern France, 10-13 June, 2025. We’re raising funds to keep registration costs low, especially for junior researchers. DM me with questions!

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 ?? resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ph…

Don't forget to register. Abstract deadline is approaching for the #morphology Meeting 2025 in Kiel (happening this february) zoologisches-museum.uni-kiel.de/de/tagung

The last session of #DZG2024 is running. In this #multidisciplinary session of the subject groups, #morphology is represented by Beny Wipfler with amazing insights into the #tracheal systems of #insects

Organised by @sci_SB and Inon Scharf

#DZG2024 Satellite symposia are happing today in advance of the annual meeting of the DZG. Lots of great insights into behavioral tactics and morphological adaptations in the symposium on #predator-#prey-#interactions. Right now Stano Pekar on #spider predators

New paper! Our stick insects have weird chromosome segregation. The major centromere protein, CenH3, binds to the autosomes in a monocentric pattern, but in a holocentric pattern on the X. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

The #YRMM24 #Morphology Meeting of the German Zoological Society sadly finds an end. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you to all participants and organizers.

Particularly to @sibdaman and @Heethoff

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
