Check out our 2026 subject collection, showcasing recent papers in @dev-journal.bsky.social on evolutionary developmental biology: journals.biologists.com/dev/collecti...
It has been curated to support the 2026 Euro-Evo-Devo conference in Glasgow, UK. #EED2026
Huisken lab is at #EED2026! @metteh-thorsager.bsky.social & @bekeloh.bsky.social will show how we use #Flamingo #light-sheet microscopy to address biological questions in the annelid #Platynereis, with imaging of the developing nervous system as an example (Platy Satellite Meeting & Poster P146).
Do you know an outstanding aquarist?
We're hiring a Senior Aquarist to help run our cephalopod facility at Columbia University. Our team maintains a colony of 250+ cuttlefish, develops new husbandry techniques (inc transgenics) & studies cuttlefish camouflage and social behavior. 1/3

A larval #octopus hitches a ride on a #pyrosome.
While the octopus is pelagic in this early life-stage, it will occasionally grab on to drifting objects and animals.
Shot using scuba, while drifting far offshore over deep water, at night, off Tulamben, Bali.

โจRare model organisms can teach us how to build a body differently. In snail embryos blastomeres can be as big as the rest of the embryo! ๐Phrontis vibex blastula stained for tubulin (gray), phalloidin (blue) and histone (magenta). ๐ฌ
