The structure of aquatic food webs does not fit standard allometric predictions. Here, García-Oliva & Wirtz explain the co-evolution of specialist and non-specialist predators in aquatic food webs and how this helps reconstruct food webs on the basis of a relatively small number of observations 👇

In @nature.com we show that humans lived in rainforests ~150,000 years ago – over double the previous oldest estimate. Their presence in West Africa’s rainforests demonstrates the spread of early humans and places ecological diversity at the heart of our species. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A lack of genetic variation can constrain adaptation, and correlations between trait variability and divergence are testaments of that. But how do we interpret such correlations when they last over many many millions of years? New paper in @natureecoevo.bsky.social with Patrick Rohner. rdcu.be/d8YxG
