Really happy to see this out in PRX Life! There you can find an eco-evolutionary framework integrating the evolution of viral infectiousness and antigenic features. While the former determines contagion events among hosts, the latter tells us how quickly viruses can escape population immunity 1/4👇

Using modern coexistence theory to understand community disassembly

Community disassembly examines how species extinction alters ecological communities. Sometimes, the extinction of one species can trigger the loss of others, known as secondary extinction. These secon...

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Follow me into #PALARQUE ’s coring campaign in the Cape Region I'll be posting here this week! Co-led by my friends & almighty palynologists Saúl Manzano & Lynne Quick, the project explores fynbos Holocene & Anthropocene dynamics in the #Cederberg mntns., N Cape Region. Part of my 💜 belongs here! 1/

Five people stand in a row on a terrace with a stone balustrade, smiling at the camera. From left to right: Saul Manzano, Graciela Gil Romera, Luke Aurilis, Juan Ivars and Lynne Quick. Behind them rises Cape Town’s Table Mountain, lit by the soft colors of dusk. The group looks relaxed and cheerful, dressed casually in jackets, sweaters, and trousers. The city spreads out below the terrace with rooftops and buildings visible in the fading light.
Author: Jill Quick

A wide view of Cape Town at sunset, framed by two iconic mountains. On the left rises the flat-topped Table Mountain, while on the right stands the conical peak of Lion’s Head. Below them, the city stretches out with clusters of houses and buildings nestled among green hills. The sky glows in soft shades of blue, purple, and gold as the sun dips behind the mountains, casting a tranquil light across the landscape.

A dense cluster of Strelitzia plants, also known as bird-of-paradise flowers. Tall, narrow green leaves rise upright, while vivid orange and blue blossoms peek through, shaped like birds in flight. Sunlight filters from the upper left, and trees and a building appear in the background.
