Can mothers prepare offspring for an unpredictable future? In C. elegans, adaptive maternal plasticity evolved when a maternal cue reliably predicted the offspring’s environment. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan... By Henrique Teotónio and @evoecodynamics.bsky.social

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

The vehicles on American roads have grown larger — and they are killing thousands more pedestrians, a Times investigation found.

Our new work (bit.ly/4nlB0RU) demonstrates how environmental cue reliability can drive the evolution of adaptive maternal effect plasticity. We evolved nematodes in random environments and populations receiving a reliable cue adapted to an otherwise unpredictable environment.

#Asilomar2025 @asn-amnat.bsky.social Set up and ready for you to register!

The American Naturalist conference at Asilomar starts tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing many of you there! #AmNatAsilomar

There is still time to register for the coziest, chat by the fire with your colleagues sort of EcoEvo conference, the @asn-amnat.bsky.social meeting in Asilomar, California. The meeting is Jan 3-6, 2025, and you still have a few weeks (until Dec 1) to get your abstracts in! asnasilomar2025.org

guess i'll just leave the halloween decorations up.

It is 4 pm pacific time, which means the cats have been eagerly awaiting the closing of the refrigerator signaling the food bowls are about to be revealed.

🧪,🌍, #ecoevo

If you haven't yet registered, now is your chance! The best meeting to have a fire side chat with a vibrant group of scholars!

What is the best scientific meeting in ecology and evolution? I nominate the @asn-amnat.bsky.social meeting in Asilomar, California. Intimate venue. Lots of interaction. Nice beach! Sea otters! Sign up for the 2025 edition now: asnasilomar2025.org/default.html

Coming to the super social at #Evo2024? Don’t forget to bring your badge – it’s your ticket to the social! See you at the Grand Quai!

#Evol2024 IDEA plenary by @coreywelch.bsky.social starts by tracing his preparation as a field biologist to his Indigenous heritage, "seeing what you see" and "scanning" the landscape around him.

Excited to attend my 1st in-person @sse_evolution meeting since 2017. Check out postdoc @lucasjalbano.bsky.social’s talk about dissertation work Sun 28 July, 3:30 PM in 520B “Adaptation to environmental variation and manipulation in a cosmopolitan plant” #Evol2024

So excited and proud of all the #MoreauLab talks happening at #Evol2024 this year! Be sure to check them all out! #ProudPI

Attending this weekend’s @evolmtg.bsky.social #Evol2024 ? Pass by room 525AB on July 28th 11:20-11:45 for some nice results and discussions surrounding virulence evolution and parasite transmission presented by yours truly :) from my postdoc in Koella lab

Please join us at the Evolution2024 meeting in Montreal to discuss why we cite who we cite and why it matters. #Evol2024 @sse-evolution.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social

Happy to be in Montreal for #Evol2024 ! Stop by the @evo-journal.bluesky.social booth during the Monday afternoon coffee break to say hi or talk about the Evolution journal (I’m an AE). And my talk is Tuesday morning - great symposium on evolutionary rescue!

I'm excited to give an @asn-amnat.bsky.social Early Career Investigator talk at #Evol2024! Come check out the award talk session on Sunday from 4:15-5:45pm (Rm 516C) to learn about what I've been up to during my postdoc and what my lab will be working on now that it's open!

We are very excited for the kick-off of the in-person part of the Joint Congress this week in Montreal! Safe travels everyone and follow @evolmtg.bsky.social for conference updates #Evol2024 @sse-evolution.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social

We're excited to see in-person attendees in Montréal on Friday! Don't forget to download the conference app and check out the schedule. #Evol2024 @sse-evolution.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social

I am OVER THE MOON that our paper is out at Am Nat today! We find phylogeny & biogeographic contingency shape functional diversity in cichlid radiations. It's my first as co-first author, & Chris Martinez was an A+ co-lead. We had an amazing team-I am so proud of this work! doi.org/10.1086/731477

This year’s SSE Presidents’ Award goes to Dr. Samarth Mathur for his paper, “An evolutionary perspective on genetic load in small, isolated populations as informed by whole genome resequencing and forward-time simulations.” Congratulations Dr. Mathur! shorturl.at/f45PN @journal-evo.bsky.social

Prime Day, Schmime Day. Hey, listen, indie bookstores are out there being awesome every day. And they tend to ship directly to you, even if you're not local to the store. They're where the books live! And booksellers are book wizards! Bonafide bibliomancers fast with the recommendations.

The heck? Both Esquire and the NYT have put out "best books" lists, and THE FIFTH SEASON is on both! Is there a holiday coming up or something? Anyway, yay! Esquire's is SFF-specific (#4) and the NYT's is this-century specific (#44). www.esquire.com/entertainmen... www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
