Fabulous work from Kaylin, who was a stellar summer intern back at @morethanadodo 🥳 as well as collaborator Craig Perl @ASU and student assistant Angi Grahn @mfnberlin! Thank you all 💛 as well as to @jonas_o_wolff for making such a wonderful dataset available to all!
✨Huge✨ congratulations to @KaylinChong on the publication of her 1st paper on the evolution of 🕷️ eye size in @CurrentBiology yesterday! 🎉 Full 🧵 later but if allometry, kooky eyes & comparative phylogenetic methods float your boat, look no further 👀 cell.com/current-biology/ful…

New perspective published in @PNASNews about fluorescence in tetrapods. Briefly: Fluorescence is probably usually not a visual signal, but that doesn't mean it isn't interesting! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… w/ @MichalNicola1 @abalosaurus Liliana D'Alba @mdshawkey & @JGoldenbergEvo

Delighted to see chiton eyes hitting the scientific bigtime! 🤩 New work by @RebeccaMVarney, @UCSB_OakleyLab and colleagues identifies a new clue to the evolution of distributed vision in the best molluscs 👀
It was a loonnnnnng time coming but our paper on path dependent evolution of visual systems is out in Science! @RebeccaMVarney @joie_cannon @Morris_Glr Dan Speiser Doug Eernisse. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… Also, nice Perspective piece by @lauren_hsr ! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Very happy that our beginner's guide to the ithomiine butterfly visual system is now alive and kickin' in @J_Exp_Biol! 🙌 We report extensive variation in the visual system, hinting at its lability to evolve adaptations to distinct visual environments. 🦋journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

. @Lauren_hSR @Multipleye_Lab discusses the diversity of architecture in animal visual systems, particularly those that depart from the typical two-eyed configuration in her JEB100 Commentary in addition to outlining future directions in the area journals.biologists.com/jeb/…
