"hallucinated references disproportionately assign credit to already prominent and male scholars, suggesting that LLM-generated errors may reinforce existing inequities in scientific recognition. Preprint moderation and journal publication processes capture only a fraction of these errors"

I think that a lot of talks in academia refuse to shy away from the classic "intro, methods, results, ..." format, and I think it's very limiting Talks aren't papers, and don't have to be structured like one! I've been trying out different presentation formats recently and it has been going well🧵

Territoriality, sociality and male weaponry shape horn investment in female bovids

Female weaponry remains underexplored across animal taxa. We analyzed socio-ecological predictors of female horn presence and size within the mammalian fam

Selection-driven color variation in the aposematic strawberry poison frog, Oophaga pumilio

Aguilar-Gómez et al. use exome sequencing of 347 strawberry poison frogs to uncover the genetic basis of color variation. They identify that kit, ttc39b, and bco1 underlie blue-red, yellow-red, and gr...
