How do temperature regimes shape community trait diversity? Does variability favour specialists or generalists?

Our new Nat Comms paper tested this with eco-evo simulations + 653 moth species across latitudinal & elevational gradients.

Viva completed yesterday! Thank you so much @StuWest8 for the supervision and guidance! I really appreciate the detailed and constructive feedback from Ryosuke and Alan, thank you for spending a lot of time reading my thesis!

[Stuart West @StuWest8]

Huge congratulations to Dr @PapilioMing, and many many thanks to the dream team of @onigiritani & @GrafenAlan

[Ming Liu @PapilioMing]

Check out the new work arising from MSc thesis of @GeorgeShillco Thanks also to Francisco Ubeda @Rhulbio for his help with the project. @westernuScience @westernuMath

[Yi-Jyun Luo @YJ_Luo]

We are seeking a postdoc (and research assistant) passionate about animal-algal symbiosis. If you have experience in marine invertebrates and sequencing technologies, we'd love to hear from you. #evolution #evodevo #genomics https://t.co/sNtUUGVIVN

[Ming Liu @PapilioMing]

I wrote an article for the editor's blog of Evolution Letters! It is about overcoming the challenges of presenting theoretical work at conferences. Have a read and let me know what you think : ) https://t.co/tLNTzAQMW1 @OxfordBiology

[Evolution Letters @EvolLetters]

@PapilioMing @geoffwild @StuWest8 Read more about this study and lead author @PapilioMing's experience presenting the work in the accompanying blog post!

[Evolution Letters @EvolLetters]

Why does the proportion of cheats sometimes oscillate and in other cases remain static? A new paper in @EvolLetters analyzes this question and discusses prior seemingly contradictory theoretical results:

@tksmiki Congrats!!🎉

[Ming Liu @PapilioMing]

@StuWest8 @geoffwild Special thanks to @ryo_mizuuchi for providing the simulation framework in the NatComms paper published last year! And thanks to @EMPSEB28 for offering an awesome opportunity to present the project.

[Ming Liu @PapilioMing]

Very excited to share our latest work on oscillating dynamics in cheat ratios!! We generalised previous results, systematically reviewed past theories, and suggested some experimental designs. https://t.co/ZK0pd7yihL
@StuWest8 @geoffwild

[Peter Lind @PeterALind]

We have a 2-year postdoc fellowship available in the Lind Lab at Umeå University, Sweden! Predicting and guiding experimental evolution of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. RTs appreciated. https://t.co/tt2yJJ9LSf

[Sara Mitri @saramitri]

Our latest review paper by @picot, @shota483_IL and @oliMeacock is out! We discuss how to couple experiments and models when measuring inter-species interactions in microbes (1/3) https://t.co/W8uqfKMsld

[Ming Liu @PapilioMing]

Very happy to see a fantastic summary of our previous work in a paper discussion! Thank you Prof. Yuseob Kim!

Please check our latest work on the evolution of cooperative breeding!

Our eco-evolutionary theory explains the empirical pattern in birds (>6000 species) on the relationships between sociality and environmental harshness and variability.

[Sheng-Feng Shen @ShengFeng_Shen]

Excited to share our new paper, featured as the cover story in @Ecology_Letters ! Titled "Environmental quality mediates the ecological dominance of cooperatively breeding birds" https://t.co/nAmpn0OJBh. Give it a read!

[Ming Liu @PapilioMing]

Some more photos from the amazing @EMPSEB28! I am thrilled to receive the best slide award and really had a lot of fun with everyone. Highly recommended!

[Ming Liu @PapilioMing]

It was a great pleasure to share our recent project on cheat-cooperator dynamics! So happy to see popularity of the cartoon examples 🤩

[EMPSEB 31 @empseb31]

An excellent talk by @PapilioMing about cheat-cooperator dynamics 🤩Even included a shout out for one of our co-chairs! See if you can spot them on the slide 👀
