What does #ecology have to do with #innovation?
#Scalinglaws of innovation don’t just come from city size, they emerge from how ideas compete and spread.
Then, inequality is not a bug; it’s an emergent feature.

Is #innovation born or made? Why do some places keep innovating while others fall behind? Is innovation the product of cities—or of deeper laws?
Our new paper in npj Complexity explores these questions through the lens of a century of US patent data.🧵👇

Why doesn’t evolution follow a path of constant #adaptation?
Over the past 50 years, punctuated equilibrium has expanded leading to a unified framework for punctuated #evolution across scales—from genes to #ecosystems & our planet.

My PhD student Guilherme Hermanson & I have a new paper out today in Ecology & Evolution! 🐢🤩
We think the morphologically conservative body plan of turtles can in part be explained by allometric constraints imposed by the shell. Thread 👇 for some highlights

Shell Constraints on Evolutionary Body Size–Limb Size Allometry Can Explain Morphological Conservatism in the Turtle Body Plan
Turtle body size and limb size scale nearly isometrically along the group's evolution, although major deviations are only seen in highly specialized ecological or morphological groups. The evolution ...

A starter pack for researchers interested in #ComplexSystems. Complex system science investigates how interactions among multiple parts lead to collective behaviour, as well as how the system interacts and forms links with its environment - please add your name!

- of the disaster: poor urban planning & delayed warnings
