Our research 'Positive fitness effects help explain the broad range of Wolbachia prevalences in natural populations' w/ @APKaristo @kokkonutter Lotte de Vries was recommended for PCI Ecology ecology.peercommunityin.org/articles/rec?i…

🚨New paper alert!🚨 We've known for a decade that killer whale moms keep their adult sons alive. But how does this impact the moms? Turns out, quite a lot! Read more here (OA) cell.com/current-biolog… and see the thread below...

Want to use Keyfitz entropy to classify survivorship curves? Check out our new paper with Rob Salguero-Gómez and @biodemography in Methods in Ecology and Evolution on how to discretise Keyfitz' original measure to use it for discrete-time models: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We will not be able to understand how animals originated without unravelling the whole diversity of animal's relatives. MISSINGRELATIVES will try to get those lineages that are out there (& we know nothing!)& see what they tell us. I can't wait to get them! #ERCAdG European Research Council (ERC)

The final instalment of my PhD is out. A pleasure to work alongside @RoosKentie to examine the survival and reproductive consequences of different migration strategies in lesser black-backed #gulls.

Anytime you think you understand #viruses, they get weirder. Meet Jingmen tick virus (JMTV), the 1st multipartite virus of primates discovered. What's weird about it? Imagine a group of people who travel everywhere together, but in different cars. That's the JMTV genome.

This is not normal.
