...it is finally out! A great effort led by Aleksandra Marconi to find developmental divergent timepoints between rapidly radiating cichlid species! 👇 click the link for pretty embryo pictures! 🐟🥚🌈 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ed…

We have an opening for a postdoc interested in phylogenomics and population genomics of soil arthropods for up to three years. Looking forward to attracting a great new colleague! Please do write to me if you are interested. Please retweet. CSIR-CCMB DBT/WT India Alliance

Vicencio (Vicencio Oostra) and I digest recent work in Evolution Journal on the evolution of plasticity in Bicyclus butterflies. Original paper: doi.org/10.1093/evolut… Our digest: doi.org/10.1093/evolut… w/ figure showing intraspecific variation in wing patterns in Bicyclus! 😍

In its recent Scientist C recruitment, Wildlife Institute of India rejected over 70 applicants (incl me) for not submitting supporting documents that they hadn't even (explicitly) requested! Many others rejected because our photos had no sign on them. MoEF&CC All India Research Scholars Association

Great piece Dr Ciara Dwyer!

Hi people. I have a newly updated pre-print on ancestral state reconstruction that I'd love for you to check out. github.com/liamrevell/Rev… 1/5

Thank you Liam Revell! #phytools was central in carrying out most of the analyses!

The final chapter of my PhD is online now. We adopted comparative approach to understand the evolutionary significance of characters that gives butterflies a false head (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our false head work is out! By analysing ~1000 butterflies, we found many traits at posterior end of hindwings evolved correlatedly, likely forming a trait complex w/adaptive function to dupe predators into thinking these traits together are actual head!! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
