Have you ever been confused about how to define and calculate relatedness?
@matishalin and I try to offer some guidance in this @CSHLPress paper.
In the special issue stemming from the Mendel at 200 symposium organized by @mendel_random
(1/2) Can peace evolve? Advantaged leaders prefer conflict and shunt the cost to followers. Increasing the democratic power of followers leads to less conflict: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
#ecology #evolution #gametheory
(2/2) A lot of graft and vision from @collectiveEcol and Kingsley (who is wisely not on X)

1/ 🤖 New paper hot off the press 🐜
Automated behavioural analysis using machine learning is great, but still needs lots of effort to curate training data. What if a computer could generate that data for you? Say hello to replicAnt nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #OpenSource

How is evolution like sharing a pizza? Tom Scott and I answer that deep (dish) question in our new Proc B paper. We use the zero-sum nature of evolution to develop inclusive-fitness models. Check it out at doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2023.13… @westernuMath @OxfordBiology

Work with us! We're hiring a Research Assistant or Associate to work with Senior Research Fellow @MartaHalina on 'The Major Transitions in the Evolution of Cognition' project. Find out more at: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42780/ 🧠🐙🐦⬛
Cool approach to #LLM output optimisation. Do an evolutionary search using the LLM to evaluate fitness and generate variants.
Not sure how to view the consequences of using the LLM to generate and evaluate.

dplyr 1.1.0 is out now! 🎉
This is a huge release, so we split the announcement into 4 posts to be released throughout the week. #rstats
Today we'll focus on joins, including:
- join_by()
- Inequality and rolling joins
- Two new quality control arguments

New paper out with @StuWest8
The first paper in my research plan to try flesh out the theory on between species major transitions.

Paper on optic flow finally out! Trigger fish use visual density to estimate distance and control speed. And they do it in a slightly different way to terrestrial animals!
I like how this adds to the confusion.

SHOOT, the phylogenetic sequence search engine, has been published!
SHOOT is like BLAST, but instead of a list of similar sequences you get a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree for your query gene sequence.
Try it👉 shoot.bio

Finding myself drawing this graph for job talks/teaching a lot so made a legit sim instead! R in 1D showing why indiscriminate altruism can work and how negative geometric relatedness exists far from the focal individual (position 500) inspired by old emails with @dbkrupp
