Paper News!🚨
How do pheomelanic birds handle oxidative stress if their pigments consume antioxidants?🤔
Seems like physiological plasticity may be the answer💡🤯
Out now in iScience!👉🔗10.1016/j.isci.2025.112937
Short on time? Check the GA😉

You may be more familiar with #acromelanism than you think🤔The culprit?
A heat-sensitive protein that affects melanin synthesis!
Turns out, it's not much studied in birds🫣

Recent private chr fusion in Brenthis butterflies 🦋 shows signs of positive selection BUT in the context of GF it may be a tech artifact.
Sounds very promising and hopefully they can disentangle these effects later on 😊 Beautifully clear talk from Alex Mackintosh👏

Amazing talk from Graduate Student Excellence Awardee Aurora Alvarez-Buylla #SMBE23
Poison frogs use ABG to bind dietary alkaloids avoiding toxicity. Interestingly this blood protein his homologous to CBG, cortisol binding protein in mammals.
Toxicity is still stress right? 🤷♀️😋

PhD student Frederico Barroso develops noninvasive methods to study thermal physiology in reptiles. In his activity, kids learn that lizards are not cold blooded, they just depend on external sources to heat! So they have pretty cool adaptations to control where body heat goes!🙀

This is @evoPAA and myself playing ECOGEN's game "What's your Dog for?"🐶🤔
Of course kids nailed this in record timing! While playing, they learned that dog breeds were artificially selected for specific tasks. Some very intriguing given the looks of the dog😆
A total favourite!

Few weeks ago, we had a TV crew filming our work on Animal coloration!🐦🦎🐇
Each BIOPOLIS research group addresses it from different lenses, complementing each other. Enjoy!⬇️😍
