Illustration of the Silurian Period based on fossils in Scotland.

The first animals to live on land were tiny arthropods, escaping predators and eating food in fields of cooksonia plants.

Hey #ESEB2025 folk! I'll be presenting my work on describing evolution in finite populations at 11:30 am on Tuesday in S-03. Drop by to learn how taking ecology and variable population size seriously changes classic pop gen descriptions like the Price eqn, revealing novel directional eco-evo forces.
An illustration with populations on the left and mathematical representations of these populations in terms of birth-death processes on the right Stochastic differential equations for trait frequencies, mean value of a trait, and the variance of a trait in the population

hello to everyone going to #ESEB2025! want to hear about the consequences of age-dependent plasticity in reproducing via sex vs. asex? I will give a talk at 11:15am on Thursday in S15.02. come for the pretty Hydra illustrations, stay for the novel evolutionary insights on facultative sex!

Thanks, Hanna! There are quite a few Kokkonuts at #ESEB2025! On Thursday, @gauravathreya.bsky.social talks about ageing + sex, @tomospotter.bsky.social talks about guppy polymorphisms, @ccrowther.bsky.social has a poster on nesting 🐢, and Victor Ronget has a poster on ageing trends in mammals + 🐦!

#ESEB2025 Very concentrated looks when @shikharabhat.bsky.social educates us about pop noise! One of the last talks I could attend, sorry I had to leave early (planned, still 🫤) The lab's presence continues without me so grab them for a science chat!

Two other members of the research group have successfully made it to @eseb2025.bsky.social ahead of me.

Look out for @kztwyman.bsky.social, whose poster "A formal theory of group-level adaptation for obligate eusociality" (P01.068) is in this evening's session.

And Chedhawat Chokechaipaisarn, whose poster "The consequences of constrained sex allocation under local mate competition" (P02.036) is in Tuesday's session.

This is based on his recent paper in Journal of Evolutionary Biology:

New paper: "The consequences of constrained sex allocation in diploids and haplodiploids under local mate competition", with Chedhawat Chokechaipaisarn:

doi.org/10.1093/jeb/...

@jevbio.bsky.social
Figure 1. Unbeatable sex allocation strategy of unconstrained females (r*) as a function of proportion of constrained females (p) under local mate competition with two foundresses colonising the patch. Shown are the result for Godfray’s (1990) erroneous diploidy solution (dashed grey line), our corrected diploidy solution (solid grey line), and our haplodiploidy solution (solid black line). Overlaid are results from individual-based simulations (discs).

Rock art at Cueva de las Manos, Santa Cruz Province. From Wikipedia: "Cueva de las Manos (Spanish for Cave of the Hands or Cave of Hands) is a cave and complex of rock art sites in the province of Santa Cruz, Argentina, 163 km (101 mi) south of the town of Perito Moreno. It is named for the hundreds of paintings of hands stenciled, in multiple collages, on the rock walls."
