Happy to see this lovely study led by @sigwartae.bsky.social and Leonie Georg @oceanspecies.bsky.social out! 🎉Although chitons are a classic example of distributed visual systems, the shell eyes aren't uniform across the body - the lenses increase in volume as new eyes are added at the shell edge!

Heading home after a busy weekend @diamondlightsource.bsky.social with @maikekittelmann.bsky.social, @atal-pande.bsky.social and @samjakeengland.bsky.social @multipleye-lab.bsky.social ✨🕷️🪰 it's always a pleasure scanning and snacking through the days and nights!

As for many others, it seems, today seemed like a good day to finalise the transition from Twitter - check out the new Bsky account for the lab here! bsky.app/profile/mult...

Sneak preview of one of my favourites: evidence for subfunctionalisation in Six3 genes in jumping and wolf spiders! Six3.2 expression throughout the secondary eyes surrounds Six3.1 expression at the centre 3/n

to how spiders have achieved the staggering diversity we see today! While their retinal determination (RDG) repertoires are pretty conserved, there are some crucial differences in the timing and patterns of expression that correlate with adult morphology and behaviour.. 2/n
