A 500-million-year-old fossil has finally resolved a century-old debate on arthropod evolution. Discover how *Erratus sperare* bridges the gap between ancient lobopodians and modern arthropods. #Evolution #FossilDiscovery #ArthropodEvolution

Very nice #spider #EvoDevo work led by Giulia Zancolli, postdoc extraordinaire: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-65336-2 #ArthropodEvolution #venom

Updated preprint of momentous review of arthropod moulting led by Giulia Campli and @rmwaterhouse: https://ecoevorxiv.org/repository/view/6538/ #EvoDevo #ArthropodEvolution #arthropod #molting #moulting #ecoevorxiv

G Campli: chelicerates 🕷️🦂 have very dynamic evolution of gene families involved in moulting, with more duplications and losses than other arthropod lineages #SMBE2023 #ArthropodEvolution

Euro #EvoDevo 2024 will include the following satellite meetings:
#Amphioxus
#Platynereis
#ArthropodEvolution (that's a lot of species for a satellite meeting!)
#FishEvolution
#Crustacean
