New paper from Ikeda et al. on the biogenesis of chitin bristles in the annelid with nice reconstructions and a chitin synthase knockout.
Bristles are formed in a process of biological 3D printing. @biology

Beautiful new study by Michael Bok, Macali & Garm on the high-resolution eyes of the enigmatic alciopid annelids, from Ponza island.
"Our results show that the eyes of alciopids possess the anatomical, morphological, and physiological properties requisite for high resolution tasks and object vision"

@biology @mikebok

Photographs of live individuals of each alciopid species. Micrographs of the heads of an individual from each alciopid species, detailing eye size relative to their heads. A brightfield micrograph of an intact, freshly dissected V. formosa eye. A micro-CT scan of a section through the horizontal axis of a T. candida eye detailing the estimation of the field of view.
