"Behavioral Genetics to Evolution" my epic journey through the field of Behavioral Ecology is out & available on TopHat MarketPlace. There are 465 videos & 627 figures embedded with text. Videos are narrated & explain figures with animation. Empirical data threads w/ game theory.

Trump pulling out of the Paris Accord —instantiated today—is about the most pathetic signal of a dying administration and the changing times. — listen to Patti Smith - People Have The Power https://t.co/Eje3hiDH2I via @YouTube

@JavoVelo This was like living on mars.

@evornithology @NYCuratrix Very deep thinker. Just cited a paper of his last week. Amazing insights. A loss to us all.

@McKnightLab_UO May you be in peace. This is one of the hardest things we go through.

#BehaveGeneEvolve tweet of the week: a 2 minute movie. Learn about social tribe formation, fear, likes & the Amydala on social media. Useful in days of trolls & twitter followers. This is how our brain forms tribes involving memes on social media. https://t.co/LgNM0U6aD8

Success. Launch of #BehaveGeneEvolve @ UCSC. The book aims to get at the human condition with a view through animals. Check out a narrated figure from the book on innate racism. Each chapter has touchstone references to us. https://t.co/UafX7GoVSU

@EvolTheoArne @eLife @evokerr If it interests U:my book “Behavioral Genetics to Evolution” = #BehaveGeneEvolve — I embedded clues in figures where I say data+code for analysis in R. It starts out simple, just functional forms motivated by biology. By the end, puzzles answer universal secrets of life — itself

@willchernoff @EvolTheoArne @eLife @evokerr A classic game done early on of the form of RPS — Public goods game, which FYI: in other versions rules the stock market and other games of finance — never without suspects of ill gain that are involved — ever heard of Bernie Maddoff?

@EvolTheoArne @eLife @evokerr Bull — we see many instances of rock-paper-scissors. See rodent mating systems - Sinervo et al. 2020 Am Nat. To prove RPS is acting in nature is very hard. Experiments in nature are required and this has been done in only a few systems.

...my last in person memories of Phil were from a 5-day road trip that we took together, when the two of us went to Lizard Biology NM — herping, talking and drinking vino tinto — hanging out at an AirB&B.
Epic and so special — To Phil — May the spirit of his memories inspire us.

Very sad news my kindred spirits in Herpetology. My friend Phil Rosen died (news from Miles via Fau’to). We have lost a truly great naturalist and scientist of the SW corner of our continent — so sad (deeply sad for me)...

@RyanAMartin @lizard_lab I hope to rewrite the bee game! For next edition of the book.

Sorry for my radio silence. I have been finishing my 23-year opus — online book: “Behavioral Genetics to Evolution” wherein I detail where we have been & where we are going in Behavioral Ecology & Evolution. 20 chapters, 600+ figures-images-embedded movies, & art on TopHat Sep 30
