“Our findings provide evidence for more divergent evolution of reproductive traits under stronger sexual selection, in line with the tenet that sexual selection may promote divergence even in the absence of environmental differences between populations.”

The new Ze Frank video reminded me about an adaptation found in some entomopathogenic nematodes - using both their own muscle power and static electricity, they can leap into the air and home in on their host, like an anti-insect surface-to-air missile #Invertebrate 🧪 news.emory.edu/features/202...

@sacrozhangt.bsky.social and I wrote a commentary on Jordi van Gestel and Carol Gross's latest paper, check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Sadly, the Editors at PNAS rejected our initial introduction, which was a David Attenborough style voice over of the microbial Serengeti (included below)

The 1st author is here too: follow @tom-is-kean.bsky.social ! His clever idea was to highlight similarities between meiotic drive and inbreeding's "automatic transmission advantage". We ask: given structurally identical(ish) problems, why is what is viewed as paradoxical so different between fields?
