Wait a moment...
...bee lice are THAT closely related to Drosophila?
I had no idea... why isn't there much more evodevo and morphogensis work on bee lice? This divergence from the "normal" Drosophilid bauplan is just... crazy

Bridging developmental and statistical approaches to variation and evolution https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41811443/ #EvoDevo
This bridge can help improve estimation of parameters relevant to evolution and clarify how different sources of variation (genetic, environmental, etc.) shape phenotypic covariance.
A step toward a more integrated perspective on variation in evolution, combining #EvoDevo and #QuantitativeGenetics!

Graph showing the SUMSTAT statistic for different organs or tissues, colored by system. Values from the Nervous and Male reproductive systems have the highest values, while all others are quite similar.
Here this sum over organs/tissues shows a strong excess of positive selection on regulatory sequences in human nervous system evolution 😎. And to a lesser extent in male reproductive system. #MolecularEvolution #EvoDevo
