How do cell lineages evolve, and how does that shape trait evolution? Join our symposium Tracing Evolution Through Cell Lineages (Plön, 12–14 October). Hear perspectives from leading scientists and contribute with your own. Read more at: bit.ly/3PCSkpQ #EvoDevo #DevBio #StemCell #evolution

How does development shape the variation evolution can act on? In our new paper in @pnas.org , we bridge developmental dynamics and quantitative genetics, linking dynamical models of phenotype formation with the statistical parameters used to study evolutionary change www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I am thrilled to share our new publication in @natcomms.nature.com showing that the vertebrate developmental hourglass has a cellular basis. We asked whether this embryonic pattern is already evident at the level of cells, the building blocks of complex organisms. rdcu.be/e70XT

Neural crest cells beginning their long trek out of the neural tube in a quail embryo. Beautifully captured by the fantastic @siewzhuan.bsky.social 🧪🐣🔬

How does development affect the evolutionary process? Join our symposium at www.evodevoconference26.com in Glasgow this June. We have a strong lineup of invited speakers, chaired by me and @milocco.bsky.social Submit your abstract before Thursday! ⏰

Collect #NeuralCrest Cells for #SingleCell #RNAseq from any vertebrate. Our new paper, present an antibody-guided #FACS method to collect NCCs. No trans-genesis or in ovo manipulation required. Demonstrated in wall #lizard #embryos using #microscopy, #RTqPCR and #scRNAseq. doi.org/10.1111/ede....

How does development shape skull evolution? In lizards, neural crest–derived skull bones drive rapid sexually selected shape change within species but show long-term constraint, revealing developmental bias linking micro- and macroevolution. Image Credit: Wikimedia academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...

PhD position on the #evo-devo of lizard color patterns, exploring how pigment cells build diverse patterns using developmental and genomic tools. Links to more info about the project and the researchschool below. Please share with interested students!

Advanced grad students + postdocs: apply for the 2026 #kitpqbio summer course, "Physical Principles of Morphogenesis in Plants and Animals," at buff.ly/OXXMKEv. Apply by Feb. 1. Course directors Adrienne Roeder (Cornell) and Sebastian Streichan (UCSB)

This week's #FluorescenceFriday, we'll be treated with one of the classical models of #devbio, the neural crest cells. Here is a beautiful video of neural crest cells with GFP-tagged focal adhesion kinase (🔵) and LifeAct-RFP (🟣) migrating on a Fibronectin matrix. 📹: Adam Shellard

New paper out in @devdynamics.bsky.social on lizard lung development! Project co-led w/ Kaleb Hill and also w/ @tonygamble.bsky.social @shylonatasha.bsky.social @aussiebiologist.bsky.social @bezbez.bsky.social @celestemnelson.bsky.social anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Join our upcoming course on cutting-edge evolutionary & genomic methods for Evo-Devo studies! We'll cover: comparative & single-cell transcriptomics,ATAC-seq, phylogenomics, comparative genomics, gene regulation, and much more Spots still available: sites.google.com/view/evodevo...

🧪 New paper out! Growing up, wall lizards undergo a UV-visible “awkward phase” (who doesn’t?) that we can’t see—but they can. These ontogenetic color changes may mediate juvenile–adult interactions by delaying the onset of adult social signals. doi.org/10.1002/jez.... #colsci #lizard #ontogeny

We offer a fully funded 4-yr contract for a PhD candidate in Evolutionary Biology to join our group (www.eco-evo-devo.com). The project will combine genomics and ecophysiology to understand the evolution of developmental plasticity in spadefoot toads. For requisites and contact info please check 👇

How does cell end developmental biology inform our understanding of evolution? Join us for an afternoon of discussion about #cells, #development, #plasticity and #evolution.

🚨 We're hiring! PhD position in Evolutionary Systems Biology at Stockholm University & SciLifeLab 🎓 Focus: evolution, development, computational & mathematical modeling, prediction 📍 Stockholm, Sweden 🕒 4 years, fully-funded 🔍 Details: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/... Please share!

! Evolution of developmental bias explains divergent patterns of phenotypic evolution in two nematode clades www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Join us on the 26/9 in Lund for a symposium about #evolution #stemcells #development #EvoDevo and #plasticity

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

Now online ‪Communications Biology!‬ We showed that variation aligns across biological levels. We proposed that #macroevolution mould #developmentalbias with a cascading effect on variation. #Microevolution, then, may be a result—not a cause of—macroevolution. nature.com/articles/s42...

Job alert! We have a postdoc position available in the Stelkens Lab at Stockholm University. Join us and apply experimental evolution and comparative genomics in the model system yeast to test for parallel climate adaptation. Apply through this link: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/... Deadline 15 August.

🚨Job alert in theory/math devbio 🚨 I’m currently advertising postdoc positions to join my group. We’re building reaction-diffusion models to understand some of the crazy things embryos can do. We are based in a beautiful part of Scotland :). Please share! www.abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/rese...

Also, our study, "PMEL is involved in snake #colourpattern transition from blotches to stripes," shows how a #PMEL mutation causes striped patterns in corn #snakes. Excited to see these findings drive trait #diversification! www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🐍🧬 #EvoDevo @naturecomms.bsky.social

Experimental embryology postdoc available in my lab at the @biology.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk working on the evolution of vertebral counts. Reach out if you’re passionate about EvoDevo, enjoy lab work and microscopy and are into or could get into cichlid fishes. Deadline on the 16th June. Please share!

Super fun to se my photo on the cover of the latest issue of Developmental Dynamics. Sox10 expression in a common wall lizard embryo in somite stage 37 visualized with in situ hybridization. #EvoDevo #NeuralCrest #DevBio Read the paper here: doi.org/10.1002/dvdy...

We developed a transgene-free method to isolate neural crest cells using antibody labelling + FACS — tested in Podarcis muralis. It works as well as transgenic tools, opening doors for NCC research in non-model species! Link in comment. #DevBio #scRNAseq #NeuralCrest #EvoDevo
