Researchers from the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute continuously monitored fish and found that midlife behaviour can predict how long they will live, shedding light on how #ageing evolves in vertebrates.

For fish and birds, this is described as gradual mouth gaping, staying open for at least three seconds and subsequently a rapid closure of the mouth. Almost all #vertebrate animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even fish, experience yawning.

Did you know almost all #vertebrate animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even fish, experience #yawning?
The study of yawning is called #chasmology!

Alt EN: Image shows a large green and brown American bullfrog partially submerged in bright green duckweed, with only its head and eyes above the water. Text on image: “Inform invasive species management. Sequencing invasive amphibians, like the American bullfrog, helps track introductions, spread, and rapid adaptation.” Alt ES: Imagen de una rana toro americana grande, verde y marrón, parcialmente sumergida entre lentejas de agua verde brillante, con la cabeza y los ojos sobre la superficie. Texto en la imagen: “Informan la gestión de especies invasoras. Secuenciar anfibios invasores, como la rana toro americana, ayuda a rastrear introducciones, expansión y adaptación rápida.”
Alt EN: Image shows a smooth, legless caecilian lying on wet soil and leaf litter in a forest floor setting. Text on image: “Fill major gaps in the Tree of Life. Amphibians remain underrepresented in genomic databases. Sequencing them strengthens phylogeny and comparative research across vertebrates.” Alt ES: Imagen de una cecilia lisa y sin patas sobre suelo húmedo y hojarasca en el suelo del bosque. Texto en la imagen: “Llenan grandes vacíos en el Árbol de la Vida. Los anfibios siguen poco representados en las bases de datos genómicas. Secuenciarlos fortalece la filogenia y la investigación comparativa en vertebrados.”
🧩 From #salamanders with some of the largest, most complex genomes to #invasive species like the American #bullfrog, #amphibian genomics is pushing #sequencing forward — while filling major gaps in the #vertebrate Tree of Life.🧬💻
Big thanks to @crawfordaj.bsky.social for helping shape this post! 🧬✨
The closest thing to a taxonomic #clade of clitorideans is the #butterfly pea!
Ask Google for {clade of #vertebrate clitorideans} & it returns clitellates!
Meanwhile,
the #clitoris is more essential to #reproduction than the #penis,
its original purpose,
to guide sperm from #cloacal #kiss.

Figure 2 Radchuk (2026): A selection of studied species is shown, with each inset giving information for that species on its generation time (T, in years; also depicted by the black bar next to it), its diet (carnivore: C, herbivore: H, and omnivore: O) and whether the species is a migrant (M) or a resident (R). The inset shows the number of studies per taxon and trait category.

A major surprise was Nadja’s observation that early stages of the worm eye’s #photoreceptor cells expressed a ciliary #opsin gene known from #vertebrate visual photoreceptors. We hypothesized that this opsin might mediate an effect of light on proper development of worm eye photoreceptors… [4/7]
