If we think about inbreeding, it is usually a given that it is avoided at population level. But check this out! @LeonieBiologist, fellow PhD student at @IAS_UCSB, just published a very cool paper showing how this tendency is reversed in a fish population!

Humans often reciprocate on the basis of intention, instead of outcome. But do other reciprocating animals do the same?
@ManonSchweinfu1 has done an ingenious and insightful experiment with Norway rats to test this. Check out her 2021 paper on this topic!

Biologging is revolutionizing how we can study #cooperation in the wild.
This great article shows how we can use it to study white sharks.

Just returned from #ISEMPH2022 having a superb time with the awesome Microchimerism Consortium meeting for its first time... Wonderful

[Cristiano Parmeggiani @CriParmeggiani]

@tmbiosci Thank you for organizing such a great workshop!

[Cristiano Parmeggiani @CriParmeggiani]

Such an incredible experience at #ISEMPH2022!
Inspiring talks, amazing discussion groups and panels, and just fantastic people all around.
With the start of my PhD right around the corner, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

[Theory and Method in Biosciences @tmbiosci]

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard at our Conceptual and Philosophical Issues in Evolutionary Medicine workshop - a really rewarding process!

[ISEMPH @ISEMPH]

See you soon #ISEMPH2022! The program is here: https://t.co/tCiQtfCpgh. COVID means a couple of alterations and cancellations have been necessary, but we are looking forward to an excellent meeting!

[Cristiano Parmeggiani @CriParmeggiani]

So excited to be off to attend to my first international conference (and pre-conference workshop!) as a graduate student, just a couple of months before starting my PhD at @IAS_UCSB!
Looking forward for #ISEMPH2022.

If we think about animal cannibalistic behaviors, mutual #cooperation is not what usually comes to mind. But this great paper by @salonfabre and E. Kasuya shows how mutual sex cannibalism may be a key cooperative adaptation for wood-feeding cockroaches!

Bonobos are famous in pop culture for their sexual interactions. This paper highlights how sexual behaviors may have been an important step in their evolution of #cooperation.

Damaraland mole rats live in highly #cooperative societies.
Johnston, Vullioud, @ThorleyJack, Kirveslahti, Shen, Mukherjee, Karner, Clutton-Brock and @jtung5 show how their reproductive division of labour affects skeletal morphology and gene regulation.
