They ruled the oceans for over 340 million years. They survived three mass extinctions. Then vanished in a geological instant. What do we actually know about how ammonoids lived, grew, and behaved before they became fossils? #Webinar #Ammonoids #Fossils #EvoKE #Palaeontology 🧪 #EduSky

Let's protect the ocean and its amazing biodiversity, shaped by evolution across billions of years and celebrate World Ocean Day! 💙🌎 #WorldOceanDay #ProtectOurOceans #Biodiversity

The ocean is the cradle of all life and the place where biological evolution started to shape biodiversity, setting the stage for life on land. Most of the major biological groups that exist on Earth are found exclusively in the ocean! 💙🌎🧪 #WorldOceanDay #ProtectOurOceans #Biodiversity

What can we do? Protect crop diversity and use evolutionary knowledge to develop more resilient crops and farming systems. #WorldEnvironmentDay

In diverse populations, natural selection acts on existing variation, increasing the frequency of advantageous traits over generations. Preserving genetic diversity in crops and their wild relatives helps safeguard traits that may be needed to cope with future climates, pests, and diseases.

Rising temperatures, droughts, floods, and new pests are threatening food production worldwide. Within crops, some individuals have traits that make them more tolerant to these challenges.

Genetic variation provides the raw material for adaptation. Populations with more variation are more likely to cope with environmental change. What can we do? Protect genetically diverse populations and preserve their adaptive potential.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face today. But what if understanding evolution could help us respond to it?

🌍 This World Environment Day, let's stop taking our home for granted and start acting as responsible stewards of the living world #WorldEnvironmentDay

Yet in that brief moment, we have become a force capable of reshaping the planet. We are not just witnesses to Earth's history. We are now influencing its future The choices we make today will affect biodiversity, ecosystems, and the evolutionary trajectories of countless species, including our own

🧪#WorldEnvironmentDay Modern humans are the outcome of billions of years of cosmic history, biological evolution, and countless chance events. If Earth's 4.5-billion-year history lasted just one minute, Homo sapiens would appear only in the final 0.004 seconds.

Reminder: Our webinar with Christian Klug is today, 4 June at 4pm CEST. Don’t miss if you’re interested in paleobioloy, ammonoids, and robots. More info and link to join (no registration required): evokeproject.org/evoke-webina...

Nature is queer 🌈 Did you know that same-sex behavior has been documented in more than 1,500 animal species? From black swans forming long-term male-male partnerships to female grizzly bears engaging in same-sex interactions, these behaviors are a natural part of the animal kingdom. Thread 👇🧪

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈 This month, we are exploring the incredible diversity of life through the lens of evolutionary biology. From homosexuality and sex-changing in animals to unusual reproductive systems and anatomies that challenge our expectations 🧪 #PrideMonth #Pride2026 #Biodiversity #EvoKE

Join our next #EvoKE Webinar on 4 June with Christian Klug, who will explore the fascinating world of ammonoids! Our webinars are free and open to everyone – no registration required 🧪 📌 Find all the details and the Zoom link here: evokeproject.org/2026/05/13/e...

How are you celebrating International Day for Biodiversity? Why does biodiversity matter to you? What are you doing for biodiversity? Let us know! #BiodiversityDay

What can you do for biodiversity? Support policies that promote biodiversity conservation and mitigate climate change, help control invasive species, join species conservation efforts, and inspire others to do their part! #BiodiversityDay

Why does biodiversity matter? It regulates water, air, and soil quality, provides us with food, medicines, and raw materials, and contributes to soil fertility. Biodiversity is also important for our wellbeing. Read more about the impact of biodiversity: www.who.int/news-room/fa... #BiodiversityDay

All of the extant biodiversity, meaning the living organisms that currently exist, is the product of evolution. The diversity of living organisms also contributes to the present-day evolutionary processes #BiodiversityDay

What is biodiversity? It’s the diversity of living organisms on different levels of organisation: the diversity of ecosystems, species, as well as the genetic diversity within species #BiodiversityDay

EvoKE beautifully celebrated the international biodiversity day! Given its importance, Biodiversity should be celebrated every single day! Join EvoKE and make every day a celebration of biodiversity and of the evolutionary processes that shape it!

Junte-se ao evento online do projeto SchoolFan no dia 18 de junho, às 11h30 (Portugal) e descubra como combater a desinformação sobre alterações climáticas através da educação e da ciência cidadã. 📌 Inscrições: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run... 💻 Evento online e gratuito aberto a todos os interessados.

Some amazing science museums allow you to learn inside and outside... For this I suggest: @planetariodoporto.bsky.social and biodiversity hall mhnc.up.pt/en/hall-of-b... @cienciavivalagos.bsky.social lagos.cienciaviva.pt/3475/turismo...

Are museums doing enough to teach evolution, or are they missing the mark? In our latest EvoKE webinar, Maria João Fonseca explores the challenges of communicating evolution and shares inspiring examples from museums across Europe and beyond🧪 🎥 Watch the full webinar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAUD...

📣Join us on 4 June for the #EvoKE Webinar! Christian Klug will explore the fascinating world of ammonoids and the innovative use of ammonoid robots. This webinar will uncover what we know about their biology, evolution, and the many questions that remain unanswered🧪 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/4u5rA0z

Today we celebrate Darwin Day! 🎉 Today is not just about celebrating Darwin, but about how evolutionary biology helps us address today’s challenges. Evolution is not only about the past. It’s a way of thinking for building more sustainable futures. How are you marking Darwin Day?

Still wondering if #EvoKE2025 in Athens is for you? ✨ Don’t miss Maria João Fonseca on “Evolution education in science centres and museums”. Her talk will explore how informal learning spaces can transform the way we engage the public with evolution. See you in Athens? 🔗 bit.ly/47QaDPx

@eseb2025.bsky.social art corner goes well, it will be available throughout the conference. Join us, draw your science :) @evokeproject.bsky.social I get asked - what if I can’t draw? That’s even better! Trust me - your art will be more honest, and awesome. And we want to see it:)

At @eseb2025.bsky.social please go and visit the art corner organised by @evokeproject.bsky.social (6th Eseb art&sci corner!:)) It’s in the far back-right of the poster area. You don’t have to be an artist! No prior art knowledge required ;) just go there & draw/paint whatever portrays your science!
