Directors

Expressions of interest: Director at MPI EvolBio (f/m/d) — We invite expressions of interest from distinguished scientists in evolutionary biology with a bold, long-term research vision that complements our Institute. More information: www.evolbio.mpg.de/3856225/Dire...

coffee breaks inspire the coolest things, no? It certainly inspired this wonderful project – a kids book on a robin that takes you under its wing on its journey to their wintering grounds. gorgeously illustrated @co-la.bsky.social and beautifully written by a #dreamteam within @sfb1372.bsky.social

Professorship in plant genetics.
The Botanical Institute at Kiel University is advertising a W2 professorship. Great opportunity to do plant research in the north of Germany. See:

Our new paper is out now!
We show the non-image forming role of #Rhodopsin7 in #Drosophila, expanding our understanding of #opsins beyond classical vision.
This work highlights how #Rh7 contributes to extra-retinal light sensing and plays a role in behavioral light responses.

Excited to share that senior postdoc Sören Häfker @awi.de just secured one of the highly competitive @erc.europa.eu ‬ @ercgrantees.bsky.social #ERCStG grants to pioneer work decoding the molecular clockwork driving rhythmicity of krill in the #marine #foodweb! More on BICLOPS here: bit.ly/4lYpBq0

Die Mücke und der Mond Die Meeresmücke Clunio marinus im Rhythmus der Gezeiten

Here is a nice piece on #Clunio #biology and #rhythms by @ulrikegebhardt.bsky.social
- including some of our #research @mpi-evolbio.bsky.social
with @juleneumann.bsky.social and @kokkonut.bsky.social.

Research by Dr David Wilcockson from our Department of Life Sciences has helped identify the cells responsible for the biological clocks of tiny beach-dwelling crustaceans which allow them to keep time with the tides.

Curious how the #moon is perceived, controls #development, and may drive #speciation in a #marine #insect?

I am so excited for the next adventure @aberuni.bsky.social funded by @dfg.de where I will continue to sway with the tides and work with David Wilcockson on 🦀 Stay tuned!

Today is my official farewell from @mpi-evolbio.bsky.social & @clocksevolution.bsky.social 🦟🌕 where I have spent almost 8 years of my scientific life. I grew up here - from being an intern, all the way to postdoc. I am grateful to a plethora of fantastic people who supported me along the way ♥️

Very pleased to say we have an Assistant Professor job opening (tenure track) in the Department of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin! 😀
www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOA399/a... - deadline is August 19th! Please repost!

Happy to share that we just published two papers from an exciting and fruitful collaboration with Hanna Kokko, involving Runa Ekrem, Alec Jacobsen and Lotte de Vries!

thanks a lot to all who attended, and made it such a wonderful event - full of cool science, great talks & posters, thought provoking discussions, lovely chats with wonderful peope, beautiful and very hot venue ☀️

bonus content: artsy highlight by Lukas Weiss - his programme summary in snippets 🦄🧬🧪

Yay! Thank you so much for the initiative, Drew! 🧶

Had an amazing time at Gordon Neuroethology! Thought it would be useful to link up attendees so I made a starter pack. I'm going to tag everyone I added to crowdsource this - please reply/message me with all the others I missed!

On the Essential Principles and Practice of Circadian Biology: A Road Map – Simple Book Publishing Circadian Biology is about the adaptation of life to our rotating world, to the Earth’s 24-hour rhythm of day and night. Not surprisingly, the field has attracted considerable popular and scientific ...

#Circadian #Biology has grown into an incredibly broad field, one that you can now learn the fundamentals of through a clear, concise, and expertly written book. For free.

#Moonstruck #Midges: Introducing Clunio marinus
#Clunio is a midge and a truly #marine #insect. You can find it on the #European #Atlantic #coast in the #intertidal zone. This is the region between the low #tide and high tide, alternating between marine and terrestrial conditions.

This week, the Clunios @clocksevolution.bsky.social had the pleasure of hosting @clairemerot.bsky.social and hear about her awesome research on the role of inversions in adaptive evolution! We explored the baltic sea and found wrackbeds full of seaweed flies. Thanks again for visiting us, Claire!

An incredible opportunity! 📰🎉 Join our research group exploring social questions, work with an amazing supervisor, and live in Japan for a few years while you're at it! 🇯🇵🍜

A big thanks to @oikosjournal.bsky.social for choosing a picture of our mice as the cover of this month's issue!

Also how cool is this session title: „Krogh’s Many Marvelous Animals“
Could not be a better fit for our little moonstruck-🦟

I am over the moon to talk at this years GRC Neuroethology: Behavior, Evolution and Neurobiology in beautiful Tuscany! 🌕 Many thanks to the fantastic organizers putting together a spectacular program ♥️ Come join us!

I wrote my B.Sc thesis on little terns and have a lot of video footage of various behaviours. Probably not the best quality for flight as this was not my main focus. I am sure there are professional wildlife photographers who could help out better but feel free to DM me 🪶

Hello Bsky!

Today I voted.
In one of the most important elections of my young life.
I feel so anxious about what is going on in the world right now that I could not wait till Sunday.
I put on my most red lipstick and went to the town hall to cast my vote (yes, in Germany you can vote whenever!)
Please world.
