A Sumatran orangutan nicknamed Rakus treated a gash in his cheek with a poultice. Plus, a promising vaccine for urinary tract infections and a special collection on sex and gender in research. A Sumat...
Check out our group's latest population genetics paper exploring how a tough little minnow has evolved to survive in a soup of pollution at the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site. doi.org/10.1093/jue/...#evosky#evolsky#evolution#evobio#evolbiol#popgen#ecoevo#molevol
menopause results in females increasing their opportunity for intergenerational help by increasing their lifespan overlap with their grandoffspring and offspring without increasing their reproductive overlap with their daughters. #evolbiol#feministskywww.nature.com/articles/s41...
A comparative analysis tests competing evolutionary hypotheses in toothed whales in which menopause has evolved many times as females extended their overall lifespan but not their reproductive lifespa...

Can't stand watching the Iowa caucuses? here's a short read. "female chimpanzees living in a relatively undisturbed population in Uganda show physiological signs of menopause & survive long past the end of reproduction. " #feministsky#wildlife#evolbiolwww.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Signs of menopause in wild chimpanzees provide insights into human evolution
Excited to share this cool paper from the Delmore lab! 🧪 @kdelmore.bsky.social#birds#ornithology#evosky#evolbiolwww.nature.com/articles/s41...
Little is known about the genetic basis of many natural behaviours and how they contribute to speciation. Here the authors address this by identifying genes linked to migration of a songbird, investig...
Those are new questions though and ones we'll hopefully be able to start looking at in the new year. Importantly though, they're questions we didn't even know to ask before this paper! https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2313282120 #evolution #evobio #evolbiol (9/10)
Also, the evolutionary biology feed (tag with #EvoSky#EvolBiolbsky.app/profile/did:...bsky.app/profile/did:... That should get you up and running!
