Incredibly honored and utterly excited to have been asked to give a plenary at @isbe2026.bsky.social hope to see you in Turin! #ISBE2026 #sleep #behavior
Meet our Plenary Speaker Daniela Rößler
Fueled by curiosity and a deep love of natural history Daniela discovered a REM-like sleep state in spiders and uses integrative field, lab and comparative approaches to investigate the function, ecology, and evolution of sleep across the spider tree of life.

Finally taking spider 🕷️ sleep 💤 to the wild! Currently in QLD, Australia, filming Portia fimbriata sleep in the field-which disturbances are they facing and how does their wild sleep compare to lab sleep? Stay tuned! 🙃 ps- terrible place to work 🤭 @nadjageiger.bsky.social @mherberstein.bsky.social
