Göttinger Hornklee auf Wikipedia 🥳

Hornklee (Lotus corniculatus) ist 1 der ökologisch wertvollsten heimischen Pflanzenarten - über 60 Wildbienenarten sammeln an ihm Pollen.🐝

Das Hornklee-Beet im Alten Botanischen Garten der @uniGoettingen dient bei Wikipedia als Illustration!

Finally out, Milly Johnson's first work on the boring bryozoan genus Immergentia!

[B. Duygu Özpolat, Ph.D. @biyolokum]

We have the Platynereis dumerilii, P. megalops, and P. massiliensis draft genomes out as a preprint! There is much left to improve but we are excited to share these genomes with our community and beyond.

[B. Duygu Özpolat, Ph.D. @biyolokum]

And that's a wrap of our wonderful Platynereis Satellite! Look at this lovely group of people (Platynereis and friends)! Many thanks to other annelid researchers for joining us and blowing our minds with their cool species! #EED2024 #WormWednesday #Platynereis

At the beginning of last year, Xiaoyu Yang came with a @AvHStiftung fellowship and a beautiful Cambrian annelid fossil to our department. Have a look what it means for annelid evolution, with @MTAguado
and @conrad_helm https://t.co/IAOxKKGdiS

Finally out. Two years ago we rediscovered Monobryozoon ambulans from its type locality, Helgoland. Read more about its morphology and phylogenetic position here. with @SH_Decker @ahmedjoudahnass and Christian Baranyi

Congratulations to @IBarutia for the voted best talk @YRMM24

[Michael Heethoff 📯 @[email protected] @Heethoff]

@morphonews Second day morning plenary by Simon Poppinga - how plants catch animals - amazing! #YRMM24

[Iulia Barutia @IBarutia]

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!

Today we have @Hejnol_Lab and his MicroZoo as guest in the @UGoe_AEB seminar

[Wanninger Lab @WanningerLab]

Wanninger lab gets the sting: first paper of our lab on cnidarians! Big congrats to our Masters student Klara who revealed neurogenesis in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea. Great collaboration with ⁦⁦@HausdesMeeres⁩ and ⁦@zoovienna⁩ 👇👇 https://t.co/pM0LAAHZa7

News about crazy worms and the evolution of their appendages from @UGoe_AEB: Palps across the tree – the neuronal innervation and development of sensory head appendages in Annelida; by @KalkePaul et al.! https://t.co/ccEKTq5qk9

[B. Duygu Özpolat, Ph.D. @biyolokum]

We are very excited to announce the Platynereis Satellite Meeting at the EuroEvoDevo in Finland. Abstracts can be submitted via the meeting registration. We will prioritize Platynereis abstracts but other annelid friends are welcome to submit and attend. @EED2024 #WormWednesday
