New article: „Living in darkness: Exploring adaptation of Proteus anguinus in 3 dimensions by X-ray imaging“

We are pleased to announce that today the journal GigaScience has published an article titled "Living in darkness: Exploring adaptation of Proteus anguinus in 3 dimensions by X-ray imaging" on which we collaborated. We are delighted to have been part of this collaboration involving authors from 11 institutions. The article explores a blind salamander’s adaptations to cave life on 3D imaging. The link to the article can be found here.

Figure: Comparison of the head and internal soft-tissue anatomy of the cave-dwelling P. anguinus with A. mexicanum in larval and adult specimens. Images in the first row show 3D renderings of the head with skin in dorsal view. The second row shows color-coded segmented brain, cartilage, bones, and eyes with optic nerve and olfactory epithelium. The third row shows these structures without bone and cartilage for better clarity.
