Academics had to spend $8.349 billion to publish their own work between 2019 and 2023 alone 🧪 🌎. That is a lot of money not spent on generating knowledge.

A nice summary by James Higham of our recently published article on Second-order kin selection in Mandrills. "Evolution: Kin selection spreadsThanks @nyuprimatology

Evolution: Kin selection spreads

By spending more time around infants which physically resemble their own, mandrill mothers may increase how frequently their offspring interact with their paternal half siblings.

I am terribly sad to learn of the passing of Marc, a colleague, mentor, and a pioneer in sensory ecology. Rest in peace among the birds.

Conspicuous animal signals avoid the cost of predation by being intermittent or novel: confirmation in the wild using hundreds of robotic prey | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Social animals are expected to face a trade-off between producing a signal that is detectible by mates and rivals, but not obvious to predators. This trade-off is fundamental for understanding the design of many animal signals, and is often the lens ...
