"When a batesian mimicry species comes to the party: hello fellow harmful species"
"I found on all-encompassing way to define species" (with desperation "phylogenic" "phenetic" "ecological" "biological" "genetic"
I'm excited to share memes that my students made this year in my undergraduate #Evolution class #popgen #consgen #evolbiol . "When a batesian mimicry species comes to the party: hello fellow harmful species" "I found on all-encompassing way to define species"
Phylogenetic signal of egg-to-adult development times and body mass of dozens of fly species reared on a common media.
Egg-to-adult development times, lipid floating assay of larvae, and body mass of select fly species reared on various media.
The Prop recipe we're using supports a rich microbiota, and when we flip adults on it, some species die to a coinfection(?) that occurs when flipped on the prop recipe, rather than the pathogen we introduced.
One microbiota member we recovered from the Prop recipe was a virulent strain of Providencia rettgeri, a known pathogen of Drosophila. Fly species infected by P. rettgeri previously showed a high phylogenetic signal in infection susceptibility, and P. rettgeri has an interaction of critical importance with a single host gene (Diptericin/Dpt, shown in FigC). This microbe, alongside other potential pathobionts (e.g., Serratia, Pseudomonas) likely explains a key part of the susceptibility of different species to infection when flipped on the Prop recipe.
Paper for the #Drosophila community on a food recipe that rears dozens of species. This was a full team effort, with key contributions from UG, MSc, and PhD students! 👩🎓🎉
Plus an #infection observation re: Diet x #Microbiota 🦠

Folks, I'm looking for funding opportunities to organize a training schoool or workshop in Brazil. Does anyone know of any grants I can ask?
I have asked SMBE in the past, but I can't see open calls from EMBO or UK-Brazil... I would appreciate any suggestions!

This is so cool, and makes me thing of Lynn Margulis claims that cell fusion, symbiosis are at the heart of speciation. #wildlife #evodevo #evolbiol

🪱 Platynereis dumerilii is a marine worm that offers important insights about evolution.
Scientists from EMBL Heidelberg's Arendt Group follow this species across time and space, to construct the first atlas with cellular resolution for the whole animal.
