journals.biologists.com/dev/article/... be careful when making strong conclusion about complicated evolutionary processes based on genetic experiments that show large effect size - however tempting it might be :)

We show that despite the low policy compliance found by Culina et al. (2020), code- and data-sharing are much higher in journals WITH than WITHOUT a code-sharing policy:
1. Code-sharing: 27% (policy) vs 5% (no policy)
2. Data-sharing: 79% (policy) vs 37% (no policy)

Is this going to be live-streamed?

Now, pumpkins might have evolved to become that large through selective breeding. Anyway, I do not know 😆 Interesting questions!

Right, but can a pumpkin seed be larger than the pumpkin itself?

What might be required to produce an offspring larger than its parent is a great availability of resources beyond what the parent could pass down. A parent can’t supply more than its natural reserve to an offspring based on physics. Not trying to answer the question but wanted to throw a thought.

Right, my view was biased towards certain domains of life. However, something similar might happen in some plants. Seed size might be limited by the size of a pod, or the availability of resources, etc. I can see how the complexity increases though.

That constraint results in a positive relationship between maternal size and offspring size, in which each female produces the largest egg possible for its body size. What am I missing here? (Genuine question)

Well, I feel I’m missing something here. Wouldn’t physical constraints partially explain offspring size? For instance, a small female may be unable to produce an offspring of the certain size when this size exceeds the physical constraint.
