The META-morphosis project is investigating how life cycle variation drives biodiversity in changing environment over time and space.
ERC-2021-STG SERI-funded
The ERC-SERI funded Starting grant META-MORPHOSIS project officially started a week ago!!! Look at the new logo with a crested newt and the city of Bern on its crest! This logo is the result of a brainstorming between @lelouppe and @grumpyDrFabre
Wanna know more about our project? Check out the great documentary made by @pateixidor ! @nmbe@unibern@Morgane_Fo @lelouppe @grumpyDrFabre @i_tsst @GSFerreiraBio https://t.co/niuEW90pWM
@lelouppe , @i_tsst , @Morgane_Fo and @grumpyDrFabre all presented their work on the META-MORPHOSIS project. Lots of feedback and good questions from the community.
The @WCHerp in Borneo was a blast!!! Our symposium on developmental herpetology was a huge success! Many thanks to @TianaKohlsdorf, @danpaluh and @grumpyDrFabre for organising it and to all the speakers for their fantastic talks!
@i_tsst and @Morgane_Fo will present their first PhD results on the impact of size and development on feeding strategy in axolotl and on the impact of life cycle on sexual dimorphism in fire salamanders respectively. Date and time to be determined....
The Meta-morphosis Lab is ready to go to @WCHerp in Borneo! If you're in the area, you can come and see our symposium on ‘Developmental herpetology: Linking ecology, development, and evolution’ organised by @grumpyDrFabre , @danpaluh and @TianaKohlsdorf.
Otherwise, @grumpyDrFabre will present her preliminary results on the '50 shades of metamorphosis: impact of life cycles variation on morphological diversity in salamanders and newts' on Wednesday 7 August Meeting Room 10 at 11AM
Friday author spotlight on @grumpyDrFabre , co author of

Feeding the beasts day 2 and 3: filming adults of torrent salamanders, smallmouth salamanders, seal salamanders... and many more larval stages!!!! Look at this beauties!
The Metamorphosis team is nicely welcomed at the airport by Air France. On our way to visit Ron Bonett and film a lot of salamanders !!!! Tulsa Oklahoma here we go!!!!🦎🤠🇺🇸
