We argue that funerals evolved across species as a mechanism to spread information and rapidly adapt to threats. As Individuals approach the bereaved to console them, they are inadvertently exposed to the cause of death (threat) allowing them to avoid it.

Our paper on the biogeographic origin of Fijian iguanas was published in @PNASNews!

We provide phylogenomic, fossil, and geologic evidence that iguanas rafted over 8000km from North America to Fiji.

Let me know if you’d like a copy!

Octopuses are awesome. Factory farming them is not. Kudos to California for banning it.

a Portrait of Tenochtitlan, my 3D reconstruction of the capital of the Aztec Empire is released!

I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and I am really curious what all of you think.

Take a look:

Our African Inostrancevia paper with @Synapsida, Elize Butler, and Jennifer Botha @GenusPalaeo is out the bag! But, I wanted to introduce you to the African Rubidgeines that this Laurasian native usurped power from in the very latest Permian period. 1/
