"Why would a cell with its own goals and evolutionary history give that away to become part of a group and be subsumed?" "There are just two universal ways to make a group: clonal development and aggregative development." - SFI Fellow @PedroM_Z on #MajorEvolutionaryTransitions

"3.8 billion years of evolution, most of it boring...but SOME of it interesting. #MajorEvolutionaryTransitions cannot be explained with standard theories and models because they involve changes to the way matter, energy, and knowledge and information flow through those systems."

Pre-exiting capacity for morphogenesis??? Brillaint. Stress induced plasticity seems to be the rule not the exception now! Exciting times for evolution of #multicellularity and origins of #celltypes #majorevolutionarytransitions

Great paper by @thibaut_brunet @Choano_Lab shows how #choanoflagellates can differentiate into an amoeboid form under specific confinement conditions. Further support for a complex unicellular ancestor of animals! 😉 @eLife https://t.co/3RgrMZkmT7

Ants have been amazing models for #ecoevodevo toward of understanding of #novelty #developmental #evolution #polyphenism #epigenetics #modularity #GxE interactions #social #evolution and #MajorEvolutionaryTransitions. Despite this success little is known about ant development 2/6

New paper out in @CurrentBiology today, examining ecological and evolutionary effects of basic developmental mode (aggregation vs. clonal growth). Led by the fearless @jt_pentz, w/ @PedroM_Z, @SFI_elibby, @YunkerLab, @Ozan_g_b & @TonyBurnetti 1/15
