Am glad to present to you, our morphological work on the pharynx associated musculature (with emphasis on the spiral muscle!) of #Stilbonematinae ( #Nematoda, Desmodoroidea) is finally out. It supports a sister group relationship between Dorylaimia and Chromadoria.

Recent molecular phylogenies of Nematoda have suggested a sister-group relationship between Dorylaimia and Chromadoria, but supporting morphological evidence has so far been lacking. Using immunohisto...

🚨 The detection of the pinewood #nematode in France🇫🇷 exposes the flaws of current management strategies, focused on delaying rather than creating actual solutions, like we highlighted in our latest paper: doi.org/10.1007/s106...

Multiple factors associated with forest decline in the context of control measures for the pinewood nematode - European Journal of Plant Pathology
Forest decline is a complex phenomenon; however, there is often a tendency to oversimplify by attributing it to a single cause, neglecting the interaction of multiple factors. Ever since the detection...

So proud to see our new paper out in PNAS spearheaded by @emilypigott.bsky.social She found a tiny 46,000 yr old Neanderthal bone at Starosele (Crimea). DNA work revealed long-distance connections across Eurasia, supported by stone tool evidence @heasvienna.bsky.social

How did the anus evolve? Researchers led by evolutionary biologist Prof. Dr Andreas Hejnol from #UniJena, in collaboration with the University of Bergen, showed that in sea worms (Xenacoelomorpha), the sperm duct exhibits the same gene pattern as the later rectum.

Historical scientific illustration of a squid, shown in a detailed side view with emphasis on its large eye, elongated body, and prominent mantle. The image highlights the squid’s multiple arms and tentacles, each lined with suction cups. The drawing captures the texture of the skin with small spots and the fin shape extending along the body, demonstrating the anatomy typical of cephalopods. Rendered in sepia tones, the illustration includes the title and publishing details around the edges, reflecting early 20th-century marine biology documentation.

Auch interessant an der „Verantwortungsübernahme“ des ÖVP-Klubchefs in einem Prozess wg. Anstiftung zum Amtsmissbrauch (+ Zahlung eines Bußgelds von € 44.000): Bisher gibt es aus der ÖVP kein Wort der Entschuldigung.
Weder an die damals benachteiligte Bewerberin, noch an die Öffentlichkeit.
