Strategic rejection of newborns is associated with substantially extended lifespan in parents and increased lifespan in well-reared offspring in owl monkeys Parental rejection of apparently healthy newborns occurs across captive primate colonies, yet its adaptive significance remains unclear. In owl monkeys ( Aotus nancymaae ), spontaneous parental reject...

What if newborn abandonment- widely seen in captive primates, was not pathology but adaptation (see thread)? A fresh preprint led by Jayde Farinha (from UCL Anthropology) #LifeHistory #Primates #UCLAnthropology #EvolutionaryMedicine www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

An eco-evolutionary feedback loop promoting diversity. Ecological diversification is common in complex landscapes composed of multiple ecosystems connected by dispersal (e.g., fish radiations across multiple lakes or bird radiations across island archipelagos). After colonization of a novel environment, local adaptation in life history results in stronger intraspecific competition, which, in the presence of ecological opportunity, induces disruptive selection. As a consequence, ecological diversification driven by niche specialization occurs, increasing phenotypic diversity within populations or species diversity in case barriers to gene flow evolve. In either case, functional diversity is enhanced, which, in turn, can positively influence dispersal and thereby the rate of colonization of novel environments. Although our model does not explicitly incorporate spatial structure, the evolutionary trajectories are assumed to begin from a colonization event, which is implicitly linked to dispersal across the landscape.

When colonizing a new habitat, organisms adapt to maximize their reproductive success via #LifeHistory #evolution. @ecoevodevolab.bsky.social @cbank.bsky.social show that life history evolution facilitates niche diversification across a range of theoretical models @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4p7YT0a

Payoff for the crab: upgraded armor and a larger living chamber. Across relatives, hosts with these “built-on” shells trend bigger—less trapped by the shell economy. Growth follows infrastructure. #LifeHistory #ShellScarcity

Why do songbirds sing in autumn?

Many songbirds sing in the autumn. If these birds aren’t breeding in the autumn, then why are they singing?

Photograph of a young woman with bright, wide eyes, smooth white skin, long dark hair pulled back, light makeup and bright lipstick, holding a number of playing cards in front of her.

I ran across this picture of the most important person in my life and keep feeling all the feelings over it. We were 18, and she was helping me out with a class project, glamming herself up in a way that she didn't ordinarily do then to pose for this picture […]
