Glad that the first thing that I share on here is our (@efronhofer.bsky.social , Vasilis Dakos and Oliver Kaltz) work from my PhD thesis at @isemevol.bsky.social on host parasite eco-evolution in spatial networks out now in Evolution Letters @evolletters.bsky.social !

Landscape structure as a driver of eco-evolution in host–parasite systems
Abstract. Spatial network structure of biological systems drives ecology and evolution by distributing organisms and their genes. The ubiquitous host–paras

Impressive work from a very dear friend. Read more about his discovery of South America’s first venom spraying scorpion during his adventures in Columbia! #systematics #scorpions
MASSIVELY excited to see Tityus achilles, South America's first #venom spraying #scorpion, finally described in
@zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social !
This new species from #Colombia can spray venom at potential predators, a striking case of convergent #evolution 🧵 (1/n)

This thread is an enjoyable example of good SciComm.
1/ Here’s a little thread to get you thinking about the nature of #space -- a little #physics - #philosophy mixer, so to speak. :)

On September 2, 1945, on board the U.S.S. Missouri, Japan officially surrendered to the Allied forces bringing World War II to an end. (cont’d..) 🧵

Really cool initiative by talented friends for engaging kids in evolution. #evolution #scicom
Want to teach kids how evolution works? 🧒🏽🧒
With @eseb.bsky.social's generous support, my fellow Tate Yawitz and I have designed "Gene Bingo!" 🧬🎱
A fun game that has convinced many kids in the US and Mexico that evolution is important and cool!
