Going to #SICB? attend s4 www.xcdsystem.com/sicb/program... Sex across origins: Questioning animal-centric assumptions & developing integrative frameworks Organized by M. Aramati Casper, aramaticasper.weebly.com Jay J. Falk jayjinsing.github.io Karen M. Warkentin, sites.bu.edu/warkentinlab/

Sex and the repeated origins of sexes are key sources of biological diversity, contributing to enormous variation in how organisms reproduce. Yet our conception of sex/es is disproportionately shaped by animal models. We need broader comparative approaches and collaborations across organismal silos to develop more general, inclusive frameworks. This symposium convenes researchers working on protists, plants, fungi, animals, and theoretical models to engage with the complexities of sex and reproduction, aiming to distinguish shared principles from taxonomic idiosyncrasies, highlight fundamental differences and open questions, and generate new frameworks for understanding sex in biology. By fostering integrative dialogue across disciplines and taxa, we hope to advance a more inclusive and accurate understanding of reproductive diversity across the tree of life.

#whaleontology At some point I'll finish this, but: a few years ago I wrote a reasonably exhaustive guide for amateurs and professionals for the identification of dolphin/toothed whale inner ear bones (periotics) in the fossil record. Check it out here: coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2023/01/bobb...

The periotic or inner ear bone of an allodelphinid dolphin. The bone looks like it has two lobes, the anterior process and the dome-like pars cochlearis, and perforated by a number of foramina. The posterior process is not developed. It is about 3 cm long.

The periotic or inner ear bone of a lipotid dolphin. The bone looks like it has three lobes, the anterior process, posterior process, and the dome-like pars cochlearis, and perforated by a number of foramina. It is about 2.5 cm long.
