How did animals repeatedly conquer land? 🌊➡️⛰️ We analysed ~1,000 gene repertoires (24M genes!) from all animal phyla to uncover how this happened. Work led by @gemmaeling.bsky.social & Klara Eleftheriadi, both first coauthors of this titanic effort!

Independent genomic trajectories shape adaptation to life on land across animal lineages
How animals repeatedly adapted to life on land is a central question in evolutionary biology. While terrestrialisation occurred independently across animal phyla, it remains unclear whether shared gen...

🐟 “BOOK A SCIENTIST”: We'll be there - at the @leibniz-gemeinschaft.de online speed dating event on 3 June. How could the fish minnow evolve in so many species? (possible in 🇩🇪 or 🇬🇧).

#LIBresearch in @science.org: Our tracks on earth are not as new as we think. A new study with LIB involvement shows that we humans contaminated the earth with lead aprox. 5200 years ago. This gives the researchers an insight into socio-economic change in the Aegean region.

#paperalert My group is currently working on Eurasian minnows #Phoxinus. To make comparative genomics & popgen in this highly cryptic genus easier, we published an annotated chromosome-level reference genome. Thanks to @thetemi.bsky.social, Yanis, @astridboehne.bsky.social
