HIFMB newsletter out now! 🦑 In our top story, Bettina Meyer outlines the Krill Stock Hypothesis, a scientific framework for setting krill catch quotas to protect the ecological balance in the Southern Ocean. That and more here: 241806.seu2.cleverreach.com/m/16677411

A tiny neural network is sufficient to control the daily rhythm of the fruit fly: New paper out in @pnas.org s.org by @nils-reinhard.bsky.social and @flyingclocks.bsky.social ingclocks.bsky.social. Only four specialized nerve cells drive the animals' endogenous clock. go.uniwue.de/circadianclock

New #AWI study shows how sustainable management of #krill in the Southern Ocean can work. The concept for managing krill stocks involves close cooperation with fisheries. #Antarctica #CCAMLR www.awi.de/en/about-us/... Photo: Carsten Pape

The female menstrual cycle was probably originally synchronized with the lunar cycle. This has changed significantly due to artificial light and smartphones, as a new study now published in the Journal Science Advances shows. go.uniwue.de/moon

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

Registration is open for our 2nd international conference for early career researchers on Magnetoreception and Navigation in Animals. 19.-21.11.2025 in Hamburg, Germany. Abstract submission extended to 8/8/25 :-) www.sfb1372.de/young-resear...

Krill fishing in the Antarctic: overlaps with consequences 🐋🌊 New AWI study shows: Acoustic data reveal when and where fishing vessels compete with whales and penguins for krill in the Southern Ocean – and what this entails for the ecosystem www.awi.de/en/about-us/... Photos: S. Menze

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. 🖱️ tinyurl.com/3r3pcypm @aberdlsagb.bsky.social @mrclmb.bsky.social

New paper out in @elife.bsky.social! Antarctic krill not only reacts to external environmental influences such as light or food. It also uses its internal clock to adapt to the conditions of the polar environment. @lhueppe.bsky.social @awi.de @hifmb.de ➡️ go.uniwue.de/antarctic-kr... 📷 Lukas Hüppe

Very interesting career perspective from Charlotte Helfrich-Förster. A lot of very good advices for young scientists rdcu.be/ekQat

New paper out in @elife.bsky.social! Antarctic krill use their clock to control daily rhythms of swimming activity across a wide range of photoperiods, which helps them adapt to their high-latitude habitat🌊🦐🕖☀️ Great collaboration between @uni-wuerzburg.de, @awi.de, @hifmb.de! doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
