Lovely article about the impactful and inspirational career of Roger Butlin (now retired). I've always admired how he worked hard at community building and research synthesis, and his research achievements were even more extensive than I realised: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/...

“Our findings provide evidence for more divergent evolution of reproductive traits under stronger sexual selection, in line with the tenet that sexual selection may promote divergence even in the absence of environmental differences between populations.”

Science X / Phys.org@sciencex.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Long-term experiments show that strong sexual selection in beetles accelerates genetic and reproductive divergence, supporting its role in the early stages of new species formation.

The new Ze Frank video reminded me about an adaptation found in some entomopathogenic nematodes - using both their own muscle power and static electricity, they can leap into the air and home in on their host, like an anti-insect surface-to-air missile #Invertebrate 🧪 news.emory.edu/features/202...

Fatal attraction: Electric charge connects jumping worm to aerial prey

A tiny worm that leaps high into the air — up to 25 times its body length — to attach to flying insects uses static electricity to perform this astounding feat, Emory physicists have found.

@sacrozhangt.bsky.social and I wrote a commentary on Jordi van Gestel and Carol Gross's latest paper, check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Sadly, the Editors at PNAS rejected our initial introduction, which was a David Attenborough style voice over of the microbial Serengeti (included below)
