My recent article in @QRevBiol on how AI might influence human evolution is intended as a conversation starter. But it runs >16k words. Before you make that commitment, see this quick intro at @ConversationEDU. Then stay for the paper. theconversation.com/smaller-brains…

Sea turtle hatchlings ‘swim’ through sand to emerge from buried nests: ow.ly/t2TX50TB4lO #ProcB #OpenAccess @unswbees

New research often revises species taxonomies. Without a clear crosswalk, old datasets & studies can be challenging to amalgamate. #R package APCalign helps solve this, aligning names to #AustralianPlantCensus. Elizabeth Wenk & colleagues @UNSW @unswbees doi.org/10.1071/BT24014

1/2 Scientists from @unswbees, used a small device, known as an accelerometer, to uncover novel findings into the behaviours of green turtle hatchlings as they emerge from their nests: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

Our new paper on in-silico estimates of replicability in ecology and evolution in @NatureEcoEvo led by wonderful YefengYang with two statisticians - @ErikVanZwet @nikosIgnatiadis Open access: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Enjoyed a great chat with @jones_ann on this episode of "What the Duck?" - about "how to be hot" according to nature. #incels #looksmax #hotness #irony abc.net.au/listen/program…

Congratulations @SoleilleM! Thesis successfully submitted! Thanks for the excellent work and super fun times. 😁 @RBonduriansky @EERC_UNSW @UNSWScience #rollinstones

Excited to be at the Australian Museum (@austmus) to showcase the work done @EERC_UNSW We are joined by our colleagues @CSIRO, @tarongazoo and @AustmusResearch For a quick overview of @EERC_UNSW, check out the word cloud 👇🏽 #Evolution #Ecology #Adaptation #Diversity

It always takes a village 📚 Grateful to have graduated from @UNSW with a #PhD in Biological Sciences, studying the macroevolution and macroecology of vertebrate sounds 🐆🐦🐳🐬🦭🦌🐸🦇🐘 What a wonderful journey as part of @UNSWScience @EERC_UNSW @CES_UNSW

Cane toads are definitely not Australia’s favorite animal, but their high invasive potential is amazing to study genetics, evolution, and adaptation. Or at least that’s what I tried to sell at #GSA2024 this week. Do you think they bought it?

Using machine learning to link #climate, #phylogeny & #leaf area in eucalypts through a 50-fold expansion of leaf trait datasets🍂 @dandy_gumnut @jasongbragg @BotanicSydney @UNSWScience besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

The next generation of trait ecology will involve measurements with some element of automation. We've tried to pilot some of that for leaf size here with herbarium sheets. Amazing work with @dandy_gumnut and @jasongbragg: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13

1/3 UNSW has ranked 7th in the world in the @timeshighered Impact Rankings! This ranking highlights UNSW's commitment and significant contribution to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, including Climate Action, Life Below Water and Life on Land. unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

Ever have trouble with a list of out-of-date aussie plant names? We've got a new fast and easy R package and Shiny app that should speed fixing them up! doi.org/10.1071/BT24014

I visited Komodo NP a couple of weeks ago, a #UNESCO World Heritage Site. Land of incredible marine biodiversity, with stunning coral reefs, diverse marine life, and worldwide famous diving spots. More in comments 👇 (photos of mine). #WorldHeritage #biodiversity #nature #komodo
