Really pleased to share this pre-print with @BJ_Cheney on how individual dolphin social network measures vary in response to yearly and monthly environmental variation: https://t.co/cgPWlMB9C4

Latest and incoming changes have convinced me this is no longer somewhere I want to be, so I'm out of here, see my profile for ways to get in touch👋

If you're a USS member with a DB pension who crossed a colleague's picket line over the past 5 years, please consider finding that colleague, thanking them for their courage, and letting them know you'll be on the line with them next time.

@DFofFreedom Hi David, thanks for your comment. The peer reviews were revealed publicly shortly before initial publication and we became aware of them a day later. As such, we have updated the piece to reflect the reviews: https://t.co/TSPqb7Qe8Z

[David N. Fisher @DFofFreedom]

@MahyaFazel Seems not to align with this statement: "The reviewers levied a variety of criticisms. Many pointed to insufficient evidence that the spatial displacement of the bones was a result of deliberate burial practices and not natural processes" Thoughts?

[David N. Fisher @DFofFreedom]

@MahyaFazel This quote: "Fuentes has pointed out that the core claim of the research: that the Homo naledi brought bodies to a specific underground cave has not been challenged."

@DochtermannLab Did you try more levels of the feedback (doesn't change shape of graph radically)? Interesting rW seems flat at negative feedbacks while drops to zero then linearly rises for positive feedbacks. rA also showing greater changes at positive than negative values

[David N. Fisher @DFofFreedom]

Bit late on this, but looks interesting. We predict trade-offs between behavioural traits but often don't find them, and "the inconsistency between data and theory represents a major failure in our understanding of behavioral evolution" @DochtermannLab

The role of trade-offs and feedbacks in shaping integrated plasticity, behavioral syndromes, and behavioral correlations https://t.co/3HAPLCbk4C #biorxiv_evobio

[David N. Fisher @DFofFreedom]

Ace, looking forward to reading this; the lack of trade-offs between presumably costly traits is still something of a puzzle

[Ned Dochtermann @DochtermannLab]

@DFofFreedom @DFofFreedom: Just in time for the end of ABS, the official version.
