@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.

[Meta-morphosis @Kafka_project]

@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....

Over a week ago, the whole team took part in Museum Nacht 2024 @NMBern . Take a look at the photos of our stand (credit Nelly Rodriguez) and, most importantly, take our QUIZZ to find out what your salamander spirit is!👉👉👉 https://t.co/cwOalkpJmy

Lab retreat day 2: team building with presentation of the research of each lab member and hiking again! This time we saw not only alpine salamanders but also grass snake and larval stages of alpine newts.

Lab retreat with the meta-morphosis team, not bad for a first day.

This week @i_tsst ,@Morgane_Fo and @lelouppe were ct-scanning European populations of salamanders from @MuseumGeneve collections with @CKyriakouli and @GSFerreiraBio and...... they break a new record!!!!!! Over 270 specimens in less than 4 days!🦎🦴💀

[Meta-morphosis @Kafka_project]

This week, @Morgane_Fo is at the Association paléontologique française in Villers-sur-mer to present the Meta-morphosis project. If you're around, come and have a chat with her if you'd like to know more about the project.
