We are happy to announce the first workshop in our new series: Back to Basics! The goal of this series is to take a fresh look at the basic assumptions held in our field. In the first workshop, we will ask the most fundamental question: What is a neuron?

Some animals, from sponges to acoel worms, host green algae instead of dinoflagellates. Our Biology Letters @RSocPublishing review highlights these rare partnerships and their unique biology. Read the full review here: doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2025.02…

In the most recent work of my laboratory, we demonstrate that placozoans can respond to endogenous monoamines. Here you can look at the effects of tyramine, which increases the speed of placozoans. #Science #Placozoans #Neurotransmitters #Monoamines

We are super happy to present our first preprint - the effect of our Rethinking Naturalistic Behaviour Workshop - where we look more critically at the term "naturalistic behaviour" and point to its vagueness and inconsistency in its use. 1/n

Did you know lung epithelial cells have an intermediate pulmonary surfactant pool? Neither did we—until our resident microscopist Dimitri Vanhecke's latest work revealed this exocytosis hotspot with stunning microscopy and quantitative analysis. tinyurl.com/2nth6z6r

New preprint on the evolutionary position of Xenacoelomorpha using genome-level processes as source of phylogenetic information. Amazing work by @MartonaAlvarez in collaboration with the great @multicellgenome researchsquare.com/article/r…

Novel genomic approaches support Xenacoelomorpha as sister to all Bilateria

One of the most contentious debates in animal evolution is whether the first bilaterian animal was simple or complex. At the centre of this debate is the phylogenetic placement of the enigmatic...
