During some old lockdown times @MorganMakanaO @RianBraig + me investigated the changes in body size and flagellum shape through time (a structure used in mating) of an understudied arthropod group - short tailed whipped scorpions (Schizomida).

Check out this thread on a passion project I did with my good friends @BelojevicJelena and @RianBraig about your new favorite animal, the adorable short-tailed whip scorpion (Schizomida)

So happy to see one of our #ruff females alive and well!

[Jelena Belojevic @BelojevicJelena]

#ruff and #southerndunlin fieldwork can start! After a cold wave in the past days in the #BothnianBay the waders are finally warming and love is in the air 💗 @SimonVandepitte

[Jelena Belojevic @BelojevicJelena]

Can you see what's happening here? #ruff lekking mania has started. Males are really into it! Video by @SimonVandepitte

[Jelena Belojevic @BelojevicJelena]

Some opportunities just present themselves. This Satellite got a copulation for free! #ruffs #lekking #bothnianbay

Shore crabs saw a strong increase in their shield morphology from #Eocene. New findings suggest that this morphological diversity is closely related to ontogeny. Yet variation in shield shape of #Carcinidae adults may result from adaptation to a range of habitats and lifestyles.

Poster is up, here is a spoiler! Looking forward to tonights session. If you're interested in measuring diversity in a different way, come by!

Also, there's crabs!

It was a pleasure to present my work (and lots from a collab with @AnneGHertel) in such a nice behavioral session today! 🕷️〰️ #dzg23

New synthesis paper out in the journal #Oecologia! We reviewed the literature on prey‑attraction strategies in spiders, highlighting the role of a trade-off between foraging & predator avoidance in the evolution of predator-prey interactions 👇

My first #PhD field season on #ruff and #dunlinproject is slowly coming to an end 🙀Two months in #BothnianBay have passed too fast, and it was as fun as it was intense! I have absolutely enjoyed the diversity of tasks, species, and people to work with 1/5

Which wader chick is your favorite? 🐣

Paper out on neuropteran diversity in @SciReports ! We analyse morphological diversity of larval representatives of the group.

[Universität München @LMU_Muenchen]

For #biodiversity #research, it is essential to assess how the diversity of #insects changes over time. LMU scientists have published a study on the biodiversity of larvae from the insect group #neuroptera over the past 100 million years.

Happy to see that the first chapter of my Bachelor thesis is published! 😁

So happy for @BelojevicJelena 🎉

Long-term studies that started in 2002 with southern dunlins and in 2016 with ruffs continue for at least 4 years thanks to @KoneenSaatio @KoivulaKari @chorlnev @BelojevicJelena Mikko Oranen @UniOulu @FSci_UniOulu

Friends and colleagues of mine are selling superb #beetle postcards to support a Ukrainian charity.

All profits will go to UAID (https://t.co/7mgxLMPvX2).

If you want to know a little bit more about our work at the Burgess Shale and inside the @ROMtoronto's fossil collections, @UofTArtSci wrote a spotlight about our research. 500-million-year-old arthropods and exceptional fossil preservation included! https://t.co/ZqagyT8yAk
