Guillia Camply of @rmwaterhouse lab about #moulting genes in #arthropods. The most diverse group shares the trait of moulting. We can see it in the fossils record and every where around us but it is largely understudied. Trying to understand the history and the diversity of gene families and expression of this trait around all arthropods. Doing exceptional work of comparing between 150 proteomes and 65 gene families. How do change occur in arthropoda?

New research: #fires in #Australia (2019-2020) killed at least 60 billion #leaf #litter #arthropods, and perhaps up to 120 trillion (!!!) if #mites and #springtails are included.
Destruction of this community has effects on #decomposition, which affects stand #recovery.
It’s easy to forget all these tiny #deaths, but we should expect more of them as #ClimateChange and fire interact to accelerate #biodiversity loss.

I've been going into my deep archives and finding lifeforms I never uploaded to iNat.
Here's one from 2009.

For #FossilFriday check out this cutie pie - this is a ~525 million year old #fossil, that may be an early relative of today's #tardigrades (scale bars 1/10 mm). If you've not heard of them, tardigrades - or water bears - are beautiful, minute #animals. They are closely related to #arthropods (arachnids, insects, millipedes, crustaceans and kin). This cool little fossil has three leg pairs, with tiny claws.

Do you ever consider the abundance of #life right under your feet?
This new study (Rosenberg et al. 2023) estimates that there are ~200 million metric tons of #arthropods in the #soil, and ~300 million metric tons (dry weight!) of arthropods in total in #terrestrial #habitats #world #wide.
That's as much as all #humans and our #farm #animals combined.

Congratulations Dr Ruzzante! 🎓🎉🍾
A true privilege to work with you over the last years on #bioinformatics methods to quantify #gene #evolution across #arthropods and explore evolutionary-functional correspondences.

For #FossilFriday meet Mongolarachne, a gorgeous - and at ~8.5 cm long including its legs, unusually large - fossil #spider from ~170 million year old rocks in China. This was originally considered a member of a living genus, Nephila.

Lesser grass jewel (Zizina otis).
A diminutive, low flying butterfly of open country, and grassland, it settles frequently on low growing flowers.

For #FossilFriday check out this gorgeous #fossil #insect! This 49 million year old beauty is Pulchritudo attenboroughi, a #beetle found in the rocks of the Green River Formation, Colorado. what's particularly striking about this fossil is the pattern on its wing cases.
