Lifetime fitness (lifetime reproductive success) and annual survival are heritable and genetically correlated in wild female baboons! Moreover, nearly all of the genetic variance in LRS can be attributable to survival to first reproduction. Out at Evolution now: academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...

Lifetime fitness and annual survival are heritable and highly genetically correlated in a wild primate population

We estimated the additive genetic variance (VA) and heritability of lifetime and time-limited fitness in a wild female baboon population in Kenya. We found

A common misunderstanding of climate change I see is that "we either hold warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, or we're all doomed." That threshold matters. But every bit we can do helps. Every ton of CO2 not released helps. This sucks. Feel your grief. But don't give up, don't stop fighting.
