This is wild: the authors find evidence for giant, macro-predatory octopuses in Late Cretaceous oceans that might max out at *62 feet long,* comfortably large enough to attack, kill and eat mosasaurs
Top predators drive changes in ecosystem structure. For the last ~370 million years, large-sized vertebrates have dominated the apex of the marine food chain, while invertebrates have served as smalle...
Please check out our pre-print! It was a 3- year high school study. Partially crowd-funded by experiment.com It was a very fun study and I hope it contributes to Wolbachia research in some way. Help us amplify if you can! doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
How do alternative reproductive modes arise?
In this @pnas.org paper, we show that hybridogenesis -where a haploid set of chromosomes is transmitted clonally across generations- acted as an intermediate step between sexual and asexual reproduction in stick insects.

Did you know that many organisms delete parts of their genome during development? To know more please join us at the Roscoff meeting on "Mechanistic and Evolutionary Basis of Programmed DNA Elimination" Sep21- 25, 2026. Please share!

Sex ratio distorters (SRDs) are heritable elements that bias offspring sex ratios to enhance their transmission. In the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare, feminization of genetic males can occu...
