Phenotypic variances across six levels of biological organisations are all correlated. We propose "dialectical" relationships between micro- and macroevolution to explain our finding. Thrilled to hear what readers think about our idea! Keita Saito biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Delighted to share our new perspective article Journal of Evolutionary Biology: rising evidence suggests unexpectedly robust link btw micro- and macroevolution. It challenges past views of evolution and calls for interdisciplinary research. #Evolution #EvoDevo #Paleontology 1/7 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/vo…

what we figured since was mind-blowing. Every time we tried, we nearly always found positive relationships between variation (or evolvability) and divergence. The main part of this result was recently presented by my colleagues Science Magazine 3/7 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

have ppl found any funders that support toolmaking? I want to keep making tools for people, but there is a seemingly irresistible force pushing us towards hypothesis-driven research. so far, funders don't want to hear about tech dev. insights for neuro & climate would be great tx

I never anticipated being involved in forensic odontology, but computer vision research is just fun like that. This paper was a joyful collaboration with a group of wonderful forensic dentists: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This is cool

Our bryozoan paper, led by @Tom_Lewin and Isabel Jiah-Yih Liao 🐸, is now out in Genome Research! We uncover extensive genome shuffling across the phylum and evidence supporting the Lophophorata hypothesis. Thanks to Darwin Tree of Life for openly sharing the assemblies! doi.org/10.1101/gr.279…

A botânica brasileira tem muitos exemplos de pessoas sem educação formal, mas apaixonadas pelo registro da flora. Goro Hashimoto é uma destas. Sua extensa coleção agora faz parte do acervo do herbário SPF, na USP - Universidade de São Paulo youtu.be/VqVx9LTqGiA?si…

Do you use, develop, or review Bayesian models for evolutionary biology applications? Here are some thoughts on how such models should be validated academic.oup.com/sysbio/article…

Fossils in space! 🚀 Friend of the Museum Rob Ferl, director of the UF Astraeus Space Institute, recently went into space on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket and took a few of our fossils with him—a snail, horse and early ancestor of modern primates.

What can #population-level processes tell us about large-scale #biodiversity? 🧵: 1/9 A key question in #evolutionary #biology: Can we predict how quickly lineages diversify (#speciation rates) based on #traits observable at the population level? #microevolution #macroevolution

4 years ago, Anjali Gupta spent a summer in Lund and collected amazing data of #Odonata with me and Erik Svensson. The data/results are published doi.org/10.1093/jeb/vo… Journal of Evolutionary Biology. Highlight: we proposed a way to relate present-day selection (#microevolution) with #macroevolution.

A classic

looking forward to see y'all at #evolution2025 Evolution Meetings in Georgia next week! feel free to stop by session Adaptation I on Saturday, 9:30-10:30
