We are based in the Department of Zoology and University Museum of Zoology Cambridge working on how ecology impacts evolution from the first animals to our modern oceans

Fantastic time at #BES2025 @britishecologicalsociety.org talking community ecology past and present! From the early animals of the #Ediacaran time period with modern corals and rainforests
A great talk from Yarong about using Bayesian network analysis to reveal multi-scale community dynamics in the Ediacaran Shibantan Biota. #PalAss2025 @thepalass.bsky.social

This #PrideMonth here is our Progress flag made from photographs we took of marine invertebrates: soft corals, nudibranchs and octopus with many thanks to James Reimer for the blue ringed octopus

New paper alert! 🚨 🐌
We studied historic Antarctic fossils from the Zinsmeister Collection to assess whether the K-Pg extinction, as recorded on Seymour Island, was sudden or gradual. We found that benthic life thrived in the 4 million years before the K-Pg.

Malaria was fundamental in shaping the course of human evolution, @camzoology.bsky.social researchers have found.
Between 74,000 and 5,000 years ago, early humans in Africa avoided high-risk malaria areas, shaping the population structure seen today.

A study in Nature shows that the single-celled form of a tiny, aquatic organism can turn into a multicellular version by three different routes. The discovery adds insight to the possible origins of multicellular life, suggesting a previously unrecognized degree of flexibility. 🧪

The choanoflagellate Choanoeca flexa forms motile and contractile cell monolayers purely clonally, purely aggregatively or through a combination of both processes depending on environmental conditions.
