This year’s flu szn is off to a slow start and we can probably thank masks for that! Let’s just normalize wearing a mask when you’re sick in general hmm?? @OxyEvo https://t.co/n1qDSsjbzd

update: I think the emotions section just overtook the language one 👀😅@OxyEvo

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

I’m doing the Ch 17 reading right now and the whole language-in-humans-is-an-adaptation thing just blew my mind 🤯🤯 @OxyEvo

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

@Aadhiya17 @OxyEvo woah totally relates to the very last part of today’s lecture too! protect the penguins!! 🐧

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

There are actually 4 distinct species of giraffes🦒 pretty neat! ⁦@OxyEvo⁩ https://t.co/Rxkl1O8nWf

@jkuo_evobio @OxyEvo at 1:20 that bird said “✨look at the way that I walk✨” I LOVE

Right after I finished today’s lecture I remembered reading about these cuties and rushed to find the article🐧🐧 https://t.co/4NsWZs4owd

Expand the court.

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

Just more info on snake venom cuz I thought it was ssssssuper cool 🐍⁦@OxyEvo⁩ https://t.co/jGR1JkMvAN

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

This article covers a lot of what this last lecture was about! (Cloudograms, outgroups, adaptive radiation...)This study also found that the ancestor of the rosefinches is the closest relative to all of the existing Hawaiian honeycreepers. ⁦@OxyEvo⁩ https://t.co/q6itCKB0Us

@alisaditt @OxyEvo woah super cool! 🤯

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

happy friday!! just some good science news for you today 😌 @OxyEvo

[Science News @ScienceNews]

Seagrass restorations deliver quickly on the promise of blue carbon, the carbon stored in ocean and coastal ecosystems.

A rare, hopeful image of a Siberian tiger in Russia's Far East won Russian photographer Sergey Gorshkov the honor of Wildlife Photographer of the Year https://t.co/gblta9FqSe

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

This isn’t related to class but I thought it was super cool 😎 also I haven’t heard of the term gynandromorph before! @OxyEvo

[Science News @ScienceNews]

Such birds are incredibly rare. https://t.co/tCEPC9lsha

The ‘molecular scissors’ were developed just eight years ago. https://t.co/8MlcWBv0oF

Cichlid fish: an example of adaptive radiation! According to this article, there’s over 2000 species! 🐠🐟🐠 ⁦@OxyEvo⁩ https://t.co/31R5UcRhbl

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

This article states that the patchy inheritance pattern of the genetic variants on chromosome 3 could indicate different evolutionary forces at work. Maybe an example of natural selection–favored in Bangladesh and not in East Asia? @OxyEvo

[Science News @ScienceNews]

A stretch of DNA on human chromosome 3 was previously found to be associated with an increased risk of developing severe disease from coronavirus infection and of being hospitalized. https://t.co/QBJ3J7xpSn

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

The article also says that the current black robin population appears to be doing pretty well, despite extreme inbreeding! @OxyEvo

[Maya @MayaRicardo_]

Another example of the bottleneck effect is the black robin; the entire species was reduced down to only 5 individuals at one point! ☹️☹️⁦@OxyEvo⁩ https://t.co/AhpkxMSS29
