Herpetologist and natural historian at heart, but generally an 'enjoyably opinionated' evolutionary biologist.

After months of getting basically nothing out of Twitter (still refuse to call it 'X'), including barely seeing any content from anyone I follow and having substantially less engagement from posts, I have now bitten the bullet and created a Bluesky account (@phylophile) 1/2

I have tried to use an importer thing to find everyone I follow on here that is also on Bluesky, but if I've missed anyone with this approach please feel free to follow on Bluesky and I will do the same - I'm sure I've managed to miss some of you in the transfer 2/2

Predation is one of the most pervasive forces of natural selection. Researchers in Science report a globally replicated experiment that uncovers which factors explain the relative success of warning coloration and camouflage as antipredator color strategies.

Really nice review of Adfeilion's debut London gig the other week, bringing Celtic post-folk metal to the Capital, particularly as the reviewer is very much not into metal by her own admission: kickbacktimes.co.uk/theatre-review…

@theAliceRoberts @Rainmaker1973 This is why spelling is important: an attempted historical re-enactment of Roman gladiators fighting lions, brought down by a note saying 'arrange romaine vs lion fight'

Relatively stable equatorial temps mean similar studies have focused on higher latitude regions, but the mongooses are still constrained in their foraging by high temperatures. This could have serious implications for equatorial endotherms if global temperatures increase further.

New paper out from Monil Khera's PhD, where we show evidence for behavioural thermoregulation in endotherms (banded mongooses) living at the equator. This is because they stop foraging and rest more when the temperatures are high. shorturl.at/r1Axk shorturl.at/lxfxa

Check out our new paper just out in Diversity. It considers the evolution of New World 'water snakes', as an adaptive radiation with some thoughts on patterns of island vs continental adaptive radiations. Get here: shorturl.at/gjK36 or here: shorturl.at/B03Yo
