Here will write about what is going on in our recently founded NFR project “InvertOmics – Phylogeny and evolution of lophotrochozoan invertebrates based on genomic data (Researcher Project – FRIPRO)”.

Further below we also have a new category, where we will present a group of interesting invertebrates each month. Stay tuned when we being in February.

Our team consists of:

Alberto Gracia-Valero, James Fleming, Stian Aleksander Helsem, Lee Hsiang Liow, Lutz Bachmann and Torsten H. Struck at the NHM of UiO

Alexander Suh of the University of East Anglia

Kenneth M. Halanych of Auburn University

Nickellaus Roberts and Kevin M. Kocot of the University of Alabama

Crustacean Silk from under the Sea

Another paper involving a FEZ group member, this time about silk from a marine crustacean group! What can we learn from the history of the silk of the Tanaids, and how can it help us make better materials in the future?
