The announcement frames it in a positive light: This change marks an exciting new chapter, continuing to highlight the integrative research that has defined EvoDevo while expanding the […]

I deposited the codebase that powers EvoDevo Papers on Zenodo. It is now citable: Vellutini, B. C. (2026). EvoDevo Papers: a literature bot for evolutionary developmental biology. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18238617
I’ve released a major update to EvoDevo Papers. The database now has all the papers posted since 2015 and a new search form for swiftly exploring the contents.

Everything was well—until it wasn’t. When I moved it […]
The botsin.space community, a popular Mastodon server for automated accounts (bots), will be retiring soon. They have been kindly hosting EvoDevo Papers for the past couple of years. To avoid any downtime, I recently migrated the account to a new server, the biologists.social community managed by The Company of Biologists. I think it’s a great match, […]
EvoDevo Papers is a bot that shares research articles in the field of evolutionary developmental biology (or evo-devo). Originally, I created it as a Twitter bot, and everything was going well for years… until Twitter’s takeover. The new policies and API restrictions made it unsustainable to continue posting there. In response to that, I decided […]
Back in 2015, I created EvoDevo Papers, an automated account that tweets the latest research papers in the field of evolutionary developmental biology (or evo-devo). I was inspired by the FlyPapers Experiment and the pioneer bots @fly_papers and @phy_papers. I wanted something similar for the evo-devo community to keep up with the literature and discover […]
