Hi #evosky, I'm currently looking for examples in theoretical biology where very different thought processes ended up being complementary ways to formalise the same problem. Does anyone have examples of these? Let me provide concrete examples of the kind of things I have in mind 🌍🧬 #hpbio #biology

Since we've moved platforms, I thought I'd make a new explainer thread for our (Aamir Sadiq, @vishuguttal.bsky.social, Rohini Balakrishnan, and I) recent paper on tree crickets. Meet Oecanthus henryi. Like in many cricket species, O. henryi males call to attract mates. #science #evobio 🌍 🧬

Glad that the first thing that I share on here is our (@efronhofer.bsky.social , Vasilis Dakos and Oliver Kaltz) work from my PhD thesis at @isemevol.bsky.social on host parasite eco-evolution in spatial networks out now in Evolution Letters @evolletters.bsky.social ! doi.org/10.1093/evle...

egtheory.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/w... I've been revisiting this beautiful blog post by Artem Kaznatcheev today. In population biology, you can work in either discrete or continuous time, but the models you get don't always look similar at first glance. What gives? #evolution #mathbio #math (1/6)

"In this project [towards your PhD], you will develop models to study the coevolution of ageing and sociality...& evolution of eusociality and multicellularity." Sounds interesting? Look here! Bonus: you'll work with a supervisor with an infectious laugh. www.universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/20...

The idea for this seminar series is the product of a conversation at the @ecolsocaus.bsky.social conference. We were inspired by great online seminars like the @iite-ecotheory.bsky.social and @theobiophysics.bsky.social but wanted to have something in our time zone. Now the idea has come to life 🤩

Nabeel et al. present a method to derive models of theoretical ecology from stochastic time series data. This data-driven method may help empirical tests of ecological theories and to discover unknown principles. Read now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
