How do we know that an evolutionary transition in individuality has taken place? Just out @eLife https://t.co/yr9Q7UvE8D in collaboration with @pierrickbourrat @geeklhem @Caroline_J_Rose @RaineyLab
For more see excellent thread below by the talented @geeklhem

[Pierrick Bourrat @pierrickbourrat]

The deadline for the application is next Sunday (31st of October). Please share widely.

Thrilled about “trade-off breaking” as ETI-ID! @ experimentalists, modelers, philosophers of biology: https://t.co/yhKsI1t2DW Great collaboration with @pierrickbourrat @geeklhem @Caroline_J_Rose @RaineyLab Check excellent threads: https://t.co/ibxqJdXw5K https://t.co/9EaEoQpDml

Check out our new work with @pierrickbourrat @Caroline_J_Rose @RaineyLab and @Hammerschmidt_K and go Beyond #fitness decoupling ! https://t.co/P6vgDrgx4c (Not peer-reviewed yet). Quick teaser from a modeler's point of view: 1/7.

Are you interested in the evolution of antibiotic resistance and want to do a PhD (in Auckland, NZ)? I have a Marsden funded project and am looking for an enthusiastic student. Please retweet, details here: https://t.co/tuHbDn5uwq

One of my personal favourites. A figure we did in Chapter 1 of #IPCC #ClimateReport showing the five considered scenarios, the timings peaking and halving CO2 emissions as well as when they reach net-zero. Together with @ed_hawkins beautiful stripes.

A medium-sized whale shark (~6 m) can filter over 600,000 litres of seawater an hour. To put that in perspective, it’s (exactly) like 600,000 bottles of milk. That could make 40 million cups of tea. Enough to last the average British household about a week. Astonishing.

Music to my ears: "Our ultimate aim is to test the anecdotal evidence and find out what is true or not."

[Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research @mwlr_nz]

Regen Ag has been proposed as a solution for transforming on-farm processes, and as a driver of change for the global food system, addressing issues such as climate change, food security & biodiversity loss. Where is the science to back these claims up?

Cool study showing that phage-based vaccines are stable at RT and can be produced cheaply at scale.

She's brilliant. Saving this gem of a poem for my girls when they need it (and for the lads when they need it). 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Soil carbon is critical to soil health - it's the glue that helps hold the soil together. Soils contain a very large amount of carbon so even small changes affect CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere.
So, how do we get carbon in the ground?

Rosalind Franklin, the British scientist who first discovered the helix shape of DNA, was born #OnThisDay in 1920. Franklin used her knowledge of x-ray diffraction techniques to take the first photo of DNA, referred to as Photo 51. https://t.co/C0dDKKKn0X

Kōtare (sacred kingfisher) caught a small crab - their main diet in estuarine habitats. She’ll swallow the crab whole, then later spit out a pellet of the indigestible bits. #birds #NewZealand

With 100 days to go until @COP26 🌎 the #ParisAgreement pledges are crucial. To China, India, Australia: economic self interest should ensure your 2030 pledges reflect a rapid shift away from coal.
