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.

European mole cricket (Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa). Their front legs are modified into digging legs, convergent like those of a mole. It was found during my last field trip with students from the University of Jena to Lake Trasimeno in Italy in June 2025.

The Paragenital Organ of Stylopidae (Insecta: Strepsiptera) and the Functional Incorporation of the Secondary Larval Exuvia
In the insect order Strepsiptera, we identified a paragenital organ in the family Stylopidae that serves as a secondary genital organ for traumatic insemination. We show that the cuticle at the penet...
