@Oliver_S_Curry @robsica Thanks for your interest. Because mutations, natural selection and genetic drift are happening all the time in all species, no species stays the same. The book "Understanding the Tree of Life" explains the full rationale behind the article. https://t.co/sZg0XnGkvL

No animal alive today is ‘primitive’ – why are so many still labeled that way? "UNDERSTANDING THE TREE OF LIFE" https://t.co/8Ay439D9B1 via @ConversationUS

Lots of exciting evolutionary biology researchers cited, including @ChaseBrownstein

My book is out - Cambridge University Press.

Written for a general audience, but scientists will find it interesting too. My argument: it’s misleading to think of humans as a recent lineage.

[Kevin Omland @keomland]

@NKWhiteman Well said. Crisp and Cook 2005 Tree stated this argument very well. FYI I have a book submitted and accepted by Cambridge University Press on tree thinking addressing these and similar problems.

[Kevin Omland @keomland]

@colleenburge Sorry Colleen. Thinking of you and your family.

[Female Bird Song @femalebirdsong]

Karan Odom’s lab at University of the Pacific is seeking Master's students interested in studying the hormonal and genetic regulation of female song and evolutionary drivers of sexual dimorphism in birdsong. See https://t.co/ehdlPbndYo for more information!

[Kevin Omland @keomland]

@ornithmmoyer @FieldOrnith Congrats Michelle - well done!

[Michelle Moyer, Ph.D. @birddrmoyer]

So honored to be selected! Thank you @FieldOrnith!!

[Kevin Omland @keomland]

@TonyPannWBAL also seems to be moving the same speed and direction as the other weather related signal.

[Kevin Omland @keomland]

@TonyPannWBAL That would be a huge flock of birds, extending many miles. No reason for large groups of birds to be moving in that direction this time of year.

[Rosemary Mosco (Bird And Moon Comics) @RosemaryMosco]

Happy #FemaleBirdDay! How many of these birds would you recognize without the names?
Thank you to the Galbatrosses for starting this event. Here's more about it: https://t.co/FTQZQoMTro

Nice to see Ellie Bare's story highlighted for the graduating class. "Mentors help students grow their research skills, from fieldwork in Puerto Rico to labs at UMBC" https://t.co/ouhm479wwo

Just like the oriole we caught this morning, we are flying home today! The whole team worked so hard to make this trip a success and we are already excited to return in May for even more exploring. #proyectocalandria #puertoricanoriole

[UMBC @UMBC]

Ellie Bare has been a core member of @keomland's research team, focused on bird evolution, ecology, behavior, and conservation, since 2021. Bare has proven to be an adept field researcher as well as excellent in the laboratory, Omland says. #UMBCgrad https://t.co/SlYR2SGhE6

@achuthz @CDMRP @UMBCBiology @KarlSteiner11 @UMBICTR Congrats to you and your students and your collaborators!

[ASAB @asab_org]

This is @ornithmmoyer Michelle, a Ph.D candidate @UMBC, studies female song in Orchard Orioles, a temperate migratory species in the Central/Eastern US, and Puerto Rican Orioles, a tropical species found only in Puerto Rico! #WomenAndGirlsInScience #ASAB_EDIA
