Be sure to attend s2's
Using #evolution and development to predict #phenotypic response to #climate change
with Yui Suzuki & Julia Bowsher organizing
cf23.xcddev.com/sicb/program...

Anthropogenic factors impact many aspects of the abiotic environment, and have the potential to influence development and adult phenotypes. Predicting future phenotypes requires the integration of development and evolution into investigations of climate change. The goal of this symposium is to highlight how evo-devo perspectives can inform climate change research and vice versa. We will highlight research that spans a range of anthropogenic factors and a range of taxa. The subfield of evo-devo and climate change sciences are very well established, but it is rare for either discipline to directly integrate the other. While evo-devo frequently deals with plasticity and the environment, it is rare for the discipline to directly address anthropogenic factors and recent time scales. While the climate change research frequently addresses stress physiology, this is rarely put into an explicitly developmental context, such as juvenile influences on adult phenotype. Organismal phenotypes under climate change are likely influenced by genetic accommodation, constraint, and the possibility of novel adaptations. However, these possibilities are rarely explored as part of most climate change research. Bringing these closely related fields together will encourage cross-talk that we hope will ignite further integration and collaboration. This symposium will showcase what is possible when these approaches are brought together.

Posted on October 2, 2026 The Gerringer Labnbsp;atnbsp;Whitman College is hiring a postdoctoral fellow to study physiological adaptations to high #hydrostatic pressures in deep-sea #fishes. The lab group explores the #physiology and #ecology of deep-sea animals across scales, from molecular to organismal. On this project, Dr. Mackenzie Gerringer and the Fellow will work together to understand how high pressures and cold temperatures have influenced the evolution of proteins and enzymes in the deep ocean. Small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) will be used to compare the structural biochemistry of key #biomolecules from fishes that live across habitat pressures and temperatures. This project will inform new understanding of life in the deep ocean and the interacting effects of temperature and pressure on #biological systems. In this position, the Fellow will have the opportunity to conduct impactful research and to develop teaching skills in a collaborative and affirming environment.

Division of Evolutionary Developmental Biology DEDB:  https://sicb.org/divisions/division-of-evolutionary-developmental-biology/ The SICB Division of #Evolutionary Developmental #Biology (DEDB) was established in 2000 and was the first formal EvoDevo organization. Since its inception, DEDB has been home to #researchers working in diverse disciplines broadly interested in understanding the evolutionary mechanisms that influence #embryonic development and the influence of development on the #evolution of #organismal diversity. Diversity is key in the EvoDevo community; we welcome members from established as well as emerging model systems, those working on #organisms from across the tree of life, and members from every career stage. Supporting our junior members is a primary goal of DEDB, so we sponsor Best Student presentation awards for oral and poster sessions at the annual meeting. Follow our bi-annual newsletter for the latest and greatest news for our division, a recurring segment highlighting one of the “forgotten heroes of science,” and a diversity spotlight focusing on the achievements of one of our junior members. The chair is Kim Cooper Could DEDB be for you?

Coming to #SICB Pittsburgh?

You won't want to miss symposium
Comparative #Neuromechanics of #Animal Sensing and Movement

cf23.xcddev.com/sicb/program...

Organized by Kiisa Nishikawa ,Northern Arizona University, & more

#science #conference #biology #neuroscience

Explore : How do #animals achieve stability, agility, and efficiency in movement across complex, changing #environments? These capabilities arise from tight integration among sensing, neural control, muscles, and #biomechanics—often with cognition and task goals shaping what “good” control looks like. #Neuromechanics has emerged as a unifying interdisciplinary framework for explaining this integration, spanning #neuroscience, muscle #physiology, biomechanics, computer science, #robotics, and #bioengineering. Because these perspectives are distributed across SICB divisions (including Animal #Behavior, Comparative Biomechanics, #Invertebrate #Zoology, Neurobiology, #Neuroethology and Sensory Biology, and #Vertebrate #Morphology), a symposium centered on comparative neuromechanics would provide a timely venue for synthesis and cross-division exchange. Key themes and questions to be addressed: Embodied control: How do muscle–tendon properties, limb and body design, and passive dynamics simplify (or constrain) neural control? Sensing-through-moving: How does movement shape what animals can sense, and how do animals exploit active sensing to improve task-level performance? Stability and adaptability: What control strategies stabilize locomotion and manipulation across perturbations, contexts, and #morphologies? Comparative generality: Which neuromechanical principles are shared across taxa, and which are lineage- or environment-specific? Bridging scales: How do neural circuits and sensorimotor computations map onto whole-body mechanics and behavior?

#SICB spotlight on Division of Physiology https://sicb.org/divisions/division-of-physiology/ About DPHYS:  Members of SICB’s Division of #Physiology conduct integrative and comparative research on animals to understand how they function in their unique physical and social environments. Much of the #physiological research is done from #ecological and #evolutionary perspectives.This division formed in 2026 from the merger of the Divisions of Comparative #Endocrinology (DCE) and Comparative Physiology & #Biochemistry (DCPB) with the goal of emphasizing and supporting the integrative research that is the foundation of the society. At the annual SICB meeting, the division organizes symposia and showcases the work of early career scientists with Best Student Oral and Poster Presentations. The division is home to two of the main society wide awards, the George A. Batholomew and the Howard A. Bern lectures. The former award recognizes a young investigator for distinguished contributions to comparative physiology and biochemistry or related fields of functional and integrative #biology. The later award celebrates the impacts of established and influential researchers in comparative endocrinology. chairs Wendy Hood/Ignacio Moore https://cosam.auburn.edu/directory/profile.php?id=wrh0001 & https://www.biol.vt.edu/faculty/moore/index.html #science #academia #scientists #academicsociety

#engineering, physiology, #animal #behavior, #neurobiology, computational #science, robotics, #ecology, and #evolutionary biology.

Misty Paig-Tran is our chair.

mistypaigtran.jimdofree.com

Members of the Division of Comparative #Biomechanics (DCB) are interested in the physical principles that govern how organisms function and, in turn, how their functional systems have been, and are, evolving. This inherently multidisciplinary field integrates ideas and techniques from #engineering, physiology, #animal #behavior, #neurobiology, computational #science, robotics, #ecology, and #evolutionary biology. Our methods are just as varied: we work in the lab and the field to engage with organisms in experiments and through observations; we design and build new types of instruments to measure motions, movements, and forces across scales of size and levels of structural hierarchy; and we create mathematical, #computational, and #robotic models to test and formalize our understanding of how organisms function and evolve. What makes this exciting multidisciplinary research in Comparative Biomechanics work is the collaboration of individuals with diverse backgrounds and interests. Supporting collaboration — no matter who you are or where you are in your career — is the primary function of DCB.
