@RSocPublishing Chedhawat (Tim) has given an online seminar about this sex-ratio work, here: cassyni.com/events/K7vsZ3s… #BiologyLetters @RSocPublishing #OA

New paper: "Density-dependent dispersal reduces conflict over the sex ratio" (#OpenAccess), w/ Chedhawat Chokechaipaisarn doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2… Sex-ratio optima for haplodiploid parents converge in viscous populations when dispersal is density-dependent @RSocPublishing #OA

We've just launched the third round of our YAS - MSP Pairing Scheme, which brings together YAS members and Members of Scottish Parliament for shadowing visits to exchange knowledge about their work! #EvidenceBasedPolicy #Holyrood youngacademyofscotland.org.uk/msps-and-yas-m…

One of my undergraduate students, Callum Ferrando, has just published a comic in Journal of Evolutionary Biology. You can find "Taylor's famous result" here: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/vo… @JEvBio @univofstandrews

My paper is out! "Kin selection as a modulator of human handedness: sex-specific, parental & parent-of-origin effects" (#OpenAccess), w/ Silvia Paracchini (@silParacchini)&Andy Gardner (@drandygardner) @Journal_EHS #laterality2024 commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cuev… doi.org/10.1017/ehs.20…

New paper: "Kin selection as a modulator of human handedness: sex-specific, parental & parent-of-origin effects" (#OpenAccess), w/ Bing Dong (@BingDong8) & Silvia Paracchini (@silParacchini) doi.org/10.1017/ehs.20… @Journal_EHS #OA #laterality2024 #Image commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cuev…

Sadly not joining us at #Evol2024 is Bing Dong (@BingDong8) whose visa hasn't been granted in time--despite him applying in April! However, his poster "Kin competition drives the evolution of earlier onset of metamorphosis" might yet make it to the meeting (Sat, 17:30, H15).

Finally, Kalyani Twyman (@kalyani_zt) is giving a talk on "The clonality window: relatedness & the group covariance effect in the evolution of division of labour" (Tue, 15:00, Room 520D). #Evol2024

Starting on my journey to Montreal for #Evol2024! I'm not presenting this time, but some members of my research group are. First up is Chedhawat (Tim) Chokechaipaisarn (not on Twitter), who'll be talking about density-dependent dispersal and sex ratios (Sat, 16:30, Room 516C).

In his keynote, @drandygardner discusses the foundations, motivations and applications of the theory of inclusive fitness in order to assess recent calls for a complete rethink of evolutionary theory.

I can confirm that @popgroup next year will be in Sheffield. 7-9 Jan. Put it in your diary now
