Lifetime fitness (lifetime reproductive success) and annual survival are heritable and genetically correlated in wild female baboons! Moreover, nearly all of the genetic variance in LRS can be attributable to survival to first reproduction. Out at Evolution now: academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...

A longer version of the Tufts announcement about the abduction of an international graduate student by federal authorities, circulating on Twitter and Reddit.

I made a starter pack for animal behaviour researchers / ethologists! please share and feel free to self-nominate or suggest others to be added as this is very much still a work in progress and not an exhaustive list 🌍🧪😊 #SciSky #BioSky #AnimalBehaviour #AnimalBehavior #Ethology go.bsky.app/Tr8VZpV

A common misunderstanding of climate change I see is that "we either hold warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, or we're all doomed." That threshold matters. But every bit we can do helps. Every ton of CO2 not released helps. This sucks. Feel your grief. But don't give up, don't stop fighting.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign
