In one species, males match up the timing of their displays! This creates a traveling wave of light that surfs across sea grass meadows on moonless nights. (video is 8x speed) Credit: Gretchen Gerrish & Trevor Rivers

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day! These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years. ShowYourStripes.info

Last week I had the pleasure of being invited to the Bright Environments conference ETH Zürich Zurich, to talk about light, clocks and behavior in the oceans. Speaking to architects and designers about how they consider and shape light environments in their work was truly fascinating.

In their Review, Hazlerigg @ArcticSeasonal & co discuss the impact of extreme cycles of solar illumination on the biological clocks of birds and mammals that spend all or part of their lives in the polar regions journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Great joint worm retreat last year with the team of Alex Dammermann Lab Max Perutz Labs Vienna Vienna BioCenter, including two adventurous boat trips to visit natural habitats of #Platynereis and watch the famous nuptial dance...

✨Celebrating #WomenInScience at #WomenInScienceDay Congratulations Dr. Svenja Julica Müller Svenja Julica Müller! Svenja did her PhD in the ICBM research group “Biodiversity and Biological Processes in Polar Seas” on the topic “The ecology and physiology of salps in changing oceans”.

Excited to share our latest online review article on 'Clocks at Sea: The Genome-Editing Tide is Rising.' ⏰ 🌊🌊🌊⏰ The piece explores how marine organisms adapt their molecular and behavioral rhythms to track various environmental cycles. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A new era for the marine chronobiology is opening thanks to genome editing techniques like #crispr. So say Emery Lab in their new review: buff.ly/3OVWy8W

Let’s DANCE together during this PhD. Join my lab for an international project with Open University .

1.5 days of #Platynereis and #annelid research at the dedicated satellite meeting preceding the #EED2024 conference in Helsinki. 3 Tessmar & Raible Labs Vienna BioCenter presentations (Florian, Nadja, Netsi) already happened on day 1, and there's more to follow...

Just now, Soeren Sören Häfker AWI Medien presented at the #Platynereis satellite meeting of the #EED2024 in Helsinki. Timing and worm "personalities"... check out more in PLOS Biology: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Just now, Gabriele Gabriele Andreatta concluded the morning session at the #Platynereis satellite meeting of the #EED2024 in Helsinki, presenting new data on light reception, reproduction and longevity. Well done!
