Phytotelmata Schlippe Justicia et al. describe small pools of water created by plant structures called ‘phytotelma’ that serve as mini-ecosystems.

You all know how precious and fascinating Phytotelmata are, right?
Right?

Meet our Plenary Speaker Daniela Rößler

Fueled by curiosity and a deep love of natural history Daniela discovered a REM-like sleep state in spiders and uses integrative field, lab and comparative approaches to investigate the function, ecology, and evolution of sleep across the spider tree of life.

New paper out in @behavecol.bsky.social!

Multiple studies show that sexually selected traits such as colours can reflect the presence of pathogens/parasites, but, can defensive coloration do the same? L. Schlippe Justicia, @carodittrich.bsky.social, O. Nokelainen & I tackled that question (1/3)

Having Sir David Attenborough narrate a story based on our findings on the dyeing poison frog was something that I never imagined, even in my wildest dreams. Now it’s happening, in the new BBC series “Parenthood” (Episode on Freshwater)! 🤩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zih...

Most Birds-of-Paradise Are Secretly Biofluorescent, Study Finds Birds-of-paradise have some of the most famous mating displays in the world, but there's more to their colorful rhythmic gymnastics than initially meets the human eye.

“Researchers at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) combed through the available archives and found that all 37 core bird-of-paradise species in Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia are biofluorescent.”
