Take three minutes to look at pretty birds, explore radar data, and see how we connect the structure of skies to MacArthur's ideas of niche partitioning. 📡🐦☁️🎧

**PhD opportunity @uniexecec.bsky.social** How is immunogenetic variation maintained in the wild?

Why are alleles that increase disease susceptibility maintained in populations, when natural selection should eliminate them?

Two cave beetles lost the same visual genes after independent cave colonization. Why? Genes with fewer roles in the body (low pleiotropy) were more likely to be lost. Gene loss may not be so random after all:

Trends in loss and retention of vision-related genes are similar between two trechine beetles independently colonizing caves
Abstract. Whether evolution is predictable has been tested in evolutionary biology by comparing lineages that experienced parallel evolution. For example,

Reasonable, minimal collective action for a better scholarly publishing ecosystem
First, think twice before sending your work to a for-profit publisher. In biological sciences there are journal lists like DAFNEE that aggregate society and not-for-profit journals. Services like PeerCommunityIn review and publish work FREE OF CHARGE, with journal sections covering the life sciences and more. Invest your APCs back into science. Second, IGNORE ALL REQUESTS from these publishers. Do not respond to requests to review. Do not respond to requests to head up special collections. Do not become an editor in these journals. Do not subsidise their business model.c
