@ChristophNetz shows that if offspring prevent parents from renewed reproduction, Hamilton's force of selection increases before maturity. Sibling replacement thus leads to a reduced force of selection and mutation accumulation at early life stages:

@dudin_o @ChandniBhickta @NChiaruttini @burnsajohn @Nature Super interesting, thank you very much! Did you observe flagellated cells turning into proliferating/mitotic cells?

I’m so excited! My first-first author paper AND the first chapter of my PhD is now out in @CurrentBiology : ‘Translocated wild birds are predisposed to learn songs of their ancestral population’: https://t.co/9mjj7Cxp48

Psychedelic art or a model of the coevolution of predatory-prey movement strategies? This cool work by @ChristophNetz shows that as a result of movement strategy evolution there can be rapid changes and alternative stable states #ASABSpring2024

@jbkinney is a top quality scientist with the rare spine to speak up on SARS-CoV2 origins and the need for better biosafety. I'm disgusted that he's apparently being threatened for this.
And yes, I'm by now also convinced SARS-CoV2 did most likely originate from a lab accident.

Ende 2022 verabschiedete die intern. Staatengemeinschaft in Montreal das #Biodiversitätsabkommen. Aber reicht das? Ab 19 Uhr diskutieren im @KoerberForum (und live): Matthias Glaubrecht @unihh, @m_prys von @GIGA_Insitute, Bernd-Ulrich Netz @fhh_umwelt mit Moderatorin @PPinzler

Thank you @EvolOdonata for a fun and engaging discussion from birdsong to Wittgenstein. Also big thanks to @StelkensLab and Niclas Kolm for being part of my examination committee and your excellent feedback!

@vonSchmalensee @Zoology_SU @MafaldaSFe @RhondaSnook1 @ChrisWWheat Yes!

@pratikunterwegs @eLife @JakobGismann @Gfalbery @arsweeny Congratulations Pratik, cool stuff :)

[Pratik Gupte @pratikunterwegs]

Very happy that my favourite PhD paper is now out in @eLife!

We've got a spatial model of social movement decisions, evolution, and disease all in one - many thanks to great coauthors @JakobGismann @Gfalbery @arsweeny and Franjo - this was a joy to write

Taking the opportunity to broadcast @ChristophNetz and my Am Nat paper, now formatted.

Agents use neural networks to move, assessing local cues to select next step. Network weights mutate, & spread based on ecological success of agents, this is evolution.

In stable environments, selection removes heritable differences in competitiveness."

This is one of the strangest articles I have written at @UofTSCC. Is aesthetic taste quantifiable? Do we have universal tastes rooted in our evolutionary history? Are we at risk of losing aesthetic diversity? Art by Supriya Shakya Saha.

👇👇👇@EESLMU1 alumni seminar 👇👇👇continues. @Ana_Maria_BU from @TU_Muenchen will talk about: „Global exploration of Island Biogeographic Theory through a trait-based approach“. When? April 26th at 14:00 CET. If you want to join the seminar via zoom, pleas dm.

[Jakob Gismann @JakobGismann]

First paper published as (co-) first author from my PhD together with the brilliant @aparajitha_

including a stickle on the cover 🤓

[Pratik Gupte @pratikunterwegs]

Happy to see that my second PhD paper, together with @ChristophNetz and Franjo Weissing is 'just accepted' at Am Nat.

We looked at a large IBM of the joint evolution of movement and foraging decisions, with lots of individual variation emerging.

@ArlinStoltzfus I think the smooth part faces the outside, this forest structure must be where it attaches to the foot of the snail and from where it grows. I'm not an expert though ^^
