Last week: #SEH2025 in Bonn !

I gave my very first talk, about the Homology of the shoulder joint and forelimb muscles #anura.

I hope to submit the paper later this year, so stay tuned 😉

Many thanks to the organisers of this congress !

Testing #high-speed videography with @dagmarazyla.bsky.social to capture wing-folding in rove #beetles (#Staphylinidae). Some specimens seem to be too shy in front of the camera, but a few are quite good actors. Maybe this will develop into a student project 🙂

Alina from Rostock University is visiting to acquire data for her bachelor thesis. She uses #histology to study skin development and metamorphic rearrangement across different #tadpole stages in a collaborative project with @benjaminnaumann.bsky.social 🐸

Emanuel (@emanuelp1990.bsky.social), a guest scientist of the LIB Crustacea Collection in Hamburg, is doing some #CT scans of deep-sea #isopods. He wants to visualize soft tissue to explore the anatomy of the reproductive systems in deep-sea species.

#teamwork at #Morpho25 by @lib-morpholab.bsky.social:
Benjamin Wipfler & Mariam Gabelaia teamed up and showed insights into the avian head. Very nice presentation concept!

Playing with propagation-based phase contrast in #microCT scans to visualize soft tissue without contrast staining in jumping #spiders 🕷️🕷️🕷️ Sure no great image quality achieved, but good enough to measure internal structures of the eyes with @jadethurlow.bsky.social & @mherberstein.bsky.social

Robin (@robinslnr.bsky.social) is doing some #CT scans of #Xenopus tadpoles with different contrast stainings to visualize soft tissue and skeletal structures in the developing forelimb. Many thanks to @kruthsatz.bsky.social for providing the specimens! 🐸

Jade (@jadethurlow.bsky.social) is visiting to image and study jumping spiders. Many hours at the Keyence and some critical point drying and CT scanning to explore the relationship between morphological features, such as eye diameter and femur length. 🕷️
