My recent article in @QRevBiol on how AI might influence human evolution is intended as a conversation starter. But it runs >16k words. Before you make that commitment, see this quick intro at @ConversationEDU. Then stay for the paper.

Sea turtle hatchlings ‘swim’ through sand to emerge from buried nests: https://t.co/MP4eT1c2fa #ProcB #OpenAccess @unswbees

New research often revises species taxonomies. Without a clear crosswalk, old datasets & studies can be challenging to amalgamate. #R package APCalign helps solve this, aligning names to #AustralianPlantCensus. Elizabeth Wenk & colleagues @UNSW @unswbees https://t.co/AjfBejK26D

1/2 Scientists from @unswbees, used a small device, known as an accelerometer, to uncover novel findings into the behaviours of green turtle hatchlings as they emerge from their nests: https://t.co/JY8kmZw2ax

Enjoyed a great chat with @jones_ann on this episode of "What the Duck?" - about "how to be hot" according to nature. #incels #looksmax #hotness #irony https://t.co/vPHGitL0MT

It always takes a village 📚 Grateful to have graduated from @UNSW with a #PhD in Biological Sciences, studying the macroevolution and macroecology of vertebrate sounds 🐆🐦🐳🐬🦭🦌🐸🦇🐘

What a wonderful journey as part of @UNSWScience @EERC_UNSW @CES_UNSW

Cane toads are definitely not Australia’s favorite animal, but their high invasive potential is amazing to study genetics, evolution, and adaptation. Or at least that’s what I tried to sell at #GSA2024 this week. Do you think they bought it?

Using machine learning to link #climate, #phylogeny & #leaf area in eucalypts through a 50-fold expansion of leaf trait datasets🍂

[Will Cornwell @will_cornwell]

The next generation of trait ecology will involve measurements with some element of automation. We've tried to pilot some of that for leaf size here with herbarium sheets. Amazing work with @dandy_gumnut and @jasongbragg: https://t.co/78xrF56Vbq

More discussions about balancing protection of dingoes with protecting livestock - and the importance of including First Nations peoples in stakeholder discussions about dingo management at all levels. Killing dingoes is killing kin #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

Ever have trouble with a list of out-of-date aussie plant names? We've got a new fast and easy R package and Shiny app that should speed fixing them up! https://t.co/w4PHODS1Sg

I visited Komodo NP a couple of weeks ago, a #UNESCO World Heritage Site. Land of incredible marine biodiversity, with stunning coral reefs, diverse marine life, and worldwide famous diving spots. More in comments 👇 (photos of mine).
