Registration for the 15th International Symposium on Flatworm Biology (24-28 July 2023, CEBIMar, São Sebastião, Brazil) is open: https://www.even3.com.br/xvisfb/

Presentations on the #biology and #evolution of #flatworms are invited including #taxonomy, #systematics, #phylogeny, #morphology, #naturalhistory, #ecology, #cellularbiology, #molecularbiology and #molecular studies of #regeneration, #aging, #bioadhesion, #endemism, #phylogeography, #developmentalbiology with #model species #platyhelminths ´

Lirong Cai presents her latest predictions of global #plantdiversity patterns and drivers of phylogenetic #endemism at #EcologyMetz2022 Find recent paper on the first part here: https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/nph.18533

About Battus polydamas:
Although we were amazed by the butterfly, as much as we searched, we could not find its host plant, however, the next day we found this fascinating #EndemicPlant of #Atacama, #Coquimbo and the #MetropolitanRegion of #Chile which was recently revalidated as Aristolochia pearceii, or as the locals call it, "fox ear".

Sobre Battus polydamas:
Si bien quedamos maravilladas por la mariposa, por mucho que buscamos, no pudimos encontrar a su planta hospedera, sin embargo, al día siguiente encontramos esta fascinante #PlantaEndemica de Atacama, Coquimbo y la Región Metropolitana de Chile, la que recientemente fue revalidada como Aristolochia pearceii, o como los lugareños la llaman, "oreja de zorro".
