We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our former colleague Ana Alessandra Monaco for featuring our recent paper on her blog. The article, Schindler, M., Feregrino, C., Aldrovandi, S. et al. Comparative single-cell analyses reveal evolutionary repurposing of a conserved gene programme in bat wing development. Nat Ecol Evol (2025). (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-025-02780-x).

For non German speakers: Remarkable: What animals can teach us about ourselves, the value of diversity, and saving the world” by Russ Hodge. We’re proud to share that Fany participated in writing two chapters of this book. Her contributions include:

This outreach (article), published in The ScienceBreaker partnert with Université of Genève, explores how female moles develop ovotestes—organs combining ovarian and testicular tissue. This unique adaptation boosts androgen production, granting females greater strength and competitiveness, traits usually associated with males. The research highlights how evolutionary pressures in subterranean environments shaped this remarkable feature, challenging traditional views of sexual differentiation.

Fany was recently interviewed on the program “Micrófonos para la Esperanza” broadcast by Televisión Provincial de Jaén.
