Happy to see this beautiful work out and honoured to be part of it!

Thrilled to present our comparative study on the evolution of zygotic genome activation (ZGA)!! 🥚🧬

Amazing PhD work of @campobes.bsky.social together with @fedemantica.bsky.social and many collaborators! @melisupf.bsky.social @crg.eu. Thread below 1/15

Diversity of ZGA onset in animal model organisms

ZGA is a universal and essential transition in animal development, by which embryos take control of their own gene expression. Despite its importance, ZGA has well been characterized in only a handful of model organisms, where both the timing and the identity of the genes involved greatly vary. 2/15

Excellent first keynote talk by Pau Carazo @paucarazo.bsky.social from the university of Valencia on how temperature drives the divergent evolution of sexual conflict in #Drosophila chaired by @gonzalezlabbcn.bsky.social #DrosoSpain2026

@pedromartinezserra.bsky.social presenting cool work on tunicate phylogeny and more during the annual seminar in Natural Sciences at the Museum here in Tromsø

Registration for the 19th meeting of the #SEBD is now open! Please join us at El Rompido for 3 days full of excellent #DevBio and plenty of opportunities to present your work at #SEBD2026 share.google/2llY3VlS5fQA...

The @geneticsub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social was represented this week at #BSDB2026 @bsdb.bsky.social by @isabelalmudi.bsky.social who presented her latest results on gene duplication and co-option of doublesex in the origin of the really amazing male specific visual system of mayflies!

#SEBD board members @isabelalmudi.bsky.social and @trayon.bsky.social were this week at #BSDB2026 @bsdb.bsky.social meeting “Molecules to Morphogens” at Warwick, presenting their latest results

Wow!! Great news! Congrats 😍

Huge congrats!

This was a great meeting! What a fantastic way to celebrate #DevBio with our #GfE and #DSDB colleagues at #GfESEBDDSBD2026 Thank you all for the #science , the discussions and all the fun! See you all again soon! #GfE2026

[1/14] 🥚🧬 La mayoría de aves proporcionan algún grado de cuidado parental a su descendencia, una inversión (tiempo, energía, exposición a depredadores…) muy elevada para mejorar la supervivencia de su descendencia.

That's it: #GfE2026 #GfESEBDDSDB2026 is over. Thanks for the science, talks, posters, chairing, discussions, helpers in back & front. See you latest at #GfE2028 for more #DevBio & oidsks for all the fish, plants, mice, worm, flies, frogs, squids, brown algae, human, -oids, whatnots and you.

The @geneticsub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social was very well represented at this week’s joint meeting of the @sebioldev.bsky.social @gfeev.bsky.social and DSDB meeting in Potsdam with talks by @isabelalmudi.bsky.social @sofiajaraujo.bsky.social @araujolabub.bsky.social

[1/11]🧽🧬¿De dónde venimos los animales? Uno de los objetivos de la biología es reconstruir el Árbol de la Vida. La revolución de los análisis genómicos ha permitido resolver las relaciones de muchos organismos, pero otros quedan aún sin resolver, incluyendo algunos episodios evolutivos clave.

Macro photograph, in top view, of two insects standing on a cluster of small, 4-petalled white flowers. Both insects have a red head and thorax and black at their back ends. The beetle on the right is slightly broader, and has a narrow white line separating the red and black parts of its body, as to suggest a narrow ant waist.

Model and mimic: a clever longhorn beetle (Euderces reichei, at right) tries its best to look like a local carpenter ant, Campontous decipiens, as they both feed on a spring dogwood flower. Brackenridge Field Laboratory, Texas.

Gene regulatory dynamics during the development of a paleopteran insect, the mayfly Cloeon dipterum Summary: New genomic resources using ATAC-seq reveal the dynamics of gene regulation during embryogenesis of the mayfly Cloeon dipterum, offering insights into insect development and evolution.

Mayflies are sexually dimorphic, with males having an extra set of 'turban'-like eyes. @isabelalmudi.bsky.social shows that turban eyes develop by adapting existing eye gene networks, likely downstream of an extra sex-determining gene found only in males. #gfe2026

At the #GfESEBDDSBD2026 EvoDevo session we start with a talk by Isabel Almudi @isabelalmudi.bsky.social from @geneticsub.bsky.social and #SEBD board member #GfE2026

joint meeting of the German, Spanish and dutch societies for developmental biology 2026

it’s already … tomorrow?!
Who is heading to #gfe2026 in Potsdam? Looking forward to seeing you all and to discuss your science. #devbio

Kicking off #gfe2026 meeting with a great historical perspective on Potsdam followed by the Keynote Lecture by Thomas Bosh.

Thomas shows us that eukaryotes are holobionts/meta organisms that do-evolved with species-specific microbiota.

Welcome to the GfE Meeting 2026 joint with DSDB and SEBD in Potsdam. Salim Seyfried opens the #gfe2026 conference at Uni Potsdam. Let’s have amazing 4 days of science.

It has been a great start to our Development & Regeneration joint meeting #GfESEBDDSDB2026 with a great keynote and two fantastic sessions on Fertilization and early development! @sebioldev.bsky.social @gfeev.bsky.social

Our society is well represented in this first flash-talk session with talks by Jorge Mañes-García (from @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social) and Isabel Pérez-Ferrer (from @eloisaherrera.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social) #GfESEBDDSDB2026 #gfe2026

What a way to start the second day of #GfESEBDDSDB2026 ! A Keynote lecture by Isabel Fariñas @farinaslab.bsky.social introduced by our president Eloisa Herrera @eloisaherrera.bsky.social

We continue the morning with a session on “Forces define form - mechanobiology” with 2 #SEBD representatives, Jerome Solom from Biofisika Institute (CSIC, EHU) and Cielo Centola from @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social
