Evolutionary theory meets ballistics: longevity researchers pondering how cannons shaped extrinsic mortality patterns back in the day. @englishse.bsky.social has a model in mind, @eivimeycook.bsky.social prefers a metaanalysis, @kokkonut.bsky.social maybe thinking if they could shoot kokkonuts...? 🙂

A fantastic few days of ageing talks, great people, and excellent food!

Massive thanks to (Hanna!) @kokkonut.bsky.social, Margaux Bieuville, Victor Ronget, and the fantastic people at The Gutenberg Workshops in the Life Sciences

Something to try out in the next semester! I'm curious how it works for students compared to AVIDA.

Excited to share new #program, STEPS, which can simulate #dynamics of the E. coli Long-Term Evolution Experiment (#LTEE) or other microbes in serial transfer regime.

STEPS developed by @devinmlake.bsky.social, Zachary Matson, Minako Izutsu, and me.
STEPS To It
Announcing a new program, called STEPS, to simulate the dynamics of evolving microbial populations.

"This study on house sparrows shows the differential fitness consequences of immigrants and residents, the fitness of their offspring based on parental background, and the annual and lifetime contributions of immigrants to local populations.."

My 1000th iNaturalist observation was a graceful breeding white tern. My 1000th species could hardly be more different: island vs. mainland, tree vs. ground, white vs. black, slender vs. chubby—and thriving vs. dead (likely killed by a feral cat).😟 These contrasts highlight diversity & fragility.

The biggest "meta-analysis" ever? - 17 million effect sizes - elifesciences.org/articles/95857

With wonderful @coreytcallaghan.bsky.social and Will Cornwell

We question the abundance-occupancy relationships using ebird data - we find ~ zero correlation

Kudos. A Science paper as the outcome of a master thesis... not bad! 🫡

Millions of birds nest in the Arctic each year. But did you know they’ve been doing this since the Cretaceous? Can’t believe I finally get to share that our paper on the birds of the Prince Creek Formation is out in ‪@science.org (and on the cover)! 🧵

Once, while I was driving, a sparrow suddenly darted in front of me, using my car to shake off a pursuing hawk, not bold enough to follow. A few years ago, I saw a poster about how small #birds use cars as cover. Now, here's an interesting article showing the exact opposite happening. bit.ly/3H3EhFN
The Pedestrians Who Abetted a Hawk’s Deadly Attack
A zoologist observed a Cooper’s hawk using a crosswalk signal as a cue to ambush its prey.
