Critical evaluation of theory and evidence on the 'Jarman-Bell Principle', a most-influential ideas in herbivore ecology: Bigger animals have less nutritious diets. Is that a real thing? Yes. Do scientists understand it? Not so well. Led by Arjun B. Potter! link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

Can we build a space of complex, multistable dynamics? How does its structure affect the nature of tipping points in ecosystems, gene nets or cancer-IS interactions? Here's a great paper by Guim Aguadé-Gorgorió Sonia Kefi &co on a taxonomy of multiple states biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Scaling laws for trees depicted in artwork --- in which Piet Mondrian anticipates the solution for branching patterns that optimize fluid flow. arxiv.org/pdf/2402.13520…

This is such a strange and interesting paper with beautiful figures: nature.com/articles/s4159… The author explains creativity and diversity using causal models, but it certainly helps with getting a good grasp of causal models themselves even if the rest is not your thing.

En extremo curiosos los memes que las tias piolinas circulan como infografías. 1- El kg de tortilla está en 20-21. 2- Dólar 16.50 3- En 2018 estaba a 22 Aclarados estos errores, pasemos a destrozar el tonto meme.

#PreprintAlert! Super excited to share with y'all a preprint arising from my MS project in Vishu Guttal !! ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ ಗುತ್ತಲ್ 's group arxiv.org/abs/2406.10739 I present an approach to modelling quantitative traits in finite populations using ideas from statistical physics. A quick 🧵

Short exact sequences are a way of formalizing a simple and ubiquitous observation: "Object Y is really just object Z, but with some extra structure described by object X." Or, equivalently: "If I take object Y and I ignore (mod out by) the structure of object X, I get object Z."

Pierre Cartier died yesterday (h/t Nalini Joshi). His rumination on Gorthendieck, mathematicians, and mathematics, is worth a read: inference-review.com/article/a-coun…

🚨 Out in nature! 🚨 How to judge someone when we have lots of info about their behavior? Our study shows that "looking twice and forgiving once" builds informative reputations that sustain cooperation—no complex norms or public institutions needed🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

"Look twice, forgive once" – a simple and effective way of judging each other's social behavior.... ...thanks to new work from Sebastián Michel-Mata et al.

In a paper just out, I refresh the environmental complexity hypothesis, clarifying the broad role of cognition from an evolutionary perspective: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

I have made the claim, in a series of recent posts, that science is more like a tree than a linear progression and that economics, and macroeconomics in particular, can get stuck on the wrong branch of the tree. Pascal Michaillat shared a link to a paper of his with George
