Stunning work on the #origin & #evolution of the neck in terrestrial vertebrates as an #exaptation of muscle groups in amphibian & fishes @LabTajbakhsh and colls https://t.co/KK1q556eBE
Spoiler alert: no #UMPAs just great science on an important question #Enjoy
Scientific theories must be subject to falsification. But whenever evolutionists are faced with severe contradictions, they use ad hoc adjustments like punctuated equilibrium, horizontal gene transfer, #exaptation, convergent #evolution, vast time, phylogenetic uncertainty, etc.
My (very biased) alternative title could have been: #Exaptation – A missing term in evolutionary metabolism? :-D
à la Gould & Vrba 1982. So much fun learning from great people, discussing #evolution of metabolism & being extra-critical about pan-adaptationism 😜
This has been great fun! Some of our thoughts @Sophie_de_Vries @IkerIrisarri @armin_dadras @RiesebergTim @JaccolineZegers @Fuerst_Jansen on #streptophyte #evolution and specialized #metabolism | @watertoland #plantsci #algae https://t.co/YwBaGKeXy5
Hundreds of years of evolution and selective breeding to become an athlete with aerodynamic features *exapts* long face is perfect for yogurt pot cleaning 🤪 #dogsoftwitter #greyhound #lurcher #cynefin #exaptation #innovation #repurposing
Our first time at AOM #AOM2022 and loved the PDW organized by @SilviaSedita, Andrea Ganzaroli and @MarianoMastrog1, Evolutionary Approaches to Innovation (focus on #exaptation). Also excellent conversations with @Sung_Hoon_Lee, @aldonakap and @teppofelin.
We really had a successful PDW @AOMConnect #AOM2022, great keynote speeches and roundtables on the future trajectories of research on #exaptation. Thanks all attendees and speakers!!! @aldonakap @MarianoMastrog1 @ganzetti @teppofelin

Three paths to #innovation:
• "Can we really construct something de novo from mutations?"
• "A screwdriver in principle has no #function, but we buy it for a specific function...this is adaptation."
• And then #Exaptation of existing features.
Re: convergence on #Flight:
"Where else can we find these dynamics?"
On leveraging #exaptation for polycentric #fractal #governance & GIS data platforms to prevent the so-called "Tragedy of the Commons" — as the threat increases, efficacy of networked stakeholders increases.

"L'#evoluzione prima produce dei 'pennacchi' come quelli delle basiliche, e poi li 'riempie' con adattamenti a posteriori, facendo di necessità virtù. #StephenJayGould usò una metafora architettonica per spiegare il concetto di #exaptation, di pre-adattamento" #TelmoPievani ora
Vent'anni fa ci lasciava #StephenJayGould, un'autorità nel campo dello studio dell’#evoluzione. La sua eredità, i suoi libri, la teoria degli #equilibripunteggiati e il termine #exaptation (preadattamento) alle 11.30 su @Radio3tweet con #TelmoPievani @UniPadova @IlBoLive
Here's the actual challenge: https://t.co/D0BEfsYnVn. Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes for you to make your own model. You could win an #exaptation shirt, Ember mug, and ticket to the @ispim Copenhagen Innovation Conference.
Did you know that among vertebrates, only chameleons are known to have a bony airborne sound receiver? Learn more about research on the chameleon atympanic middle ear by @SavannahSciArt here:

Good to start the new year with an acceptance decision of "#Exaptive #innovation in #constraint-based environments: lessons from #COVID19 crisis" (with @silviablasi6 and @ganzetti) from European Journal of Innovation Management. #exaptation #easybreath @dSEA_Unipd

@RonJeffries It's great if what you want is to satisfy someone who has a pretty good idea of what they want.
If you want Cynefin though, you're gonna end up finding out about #exaptation, which means reusing the stuff you have for customers you don't have yet.
