Discover the secret of #tortoise head scales! The latest @lanevol.bsky.social study reveals how two distinct systems - chemical reaction-diffusion and mechanical folding - shape their unique features. More about this story: lanevol.org/news/article... @biology-unige.bsky.social

The distinctive pattern of scales on the face and jaws of crocodiles is formed by a precise mechanical process of skin folding, according to a OA study in @nature.com: http://spklr.io/63328fZXu #Science #Evolution #Crocodiles

Congrats on this very interesting research!

How do blood vessels adapt to pressure? 🩸 A new collaborative study from the Salbreux lab shows how changes in endothelial cells help vessels stretch and stay strong — thanks to actin fibers and a smart mechanical model. 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Biomechanics #VascularResearch

Congrats on this great paper!

Congrats @lanevol.bsky.social and @rorylcooper.bsky.social on this amazing image!

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

🐍 New in Genome Biology! We show #CLCN2 is key to #colorpatterns in corn #snakes. LTR-retrotransposon mutation drives Stripe phenotype. Genomic & transcriptomic analyses reveal insights into trait diversification! Full study: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

🚨 Study alert: Led by Athanasia Tzika from @lanevol.bsky.social, the study explores the #CLCN2 gene’s role in snake skin color patterning, advancing knowledge of snakes pattern formation. Read more: lanevol.org/news/article... #Genetics #Evolution #snake #skincolorpattern
