I totally agree that species are a thing but I think this analysis misses a major issue with modern taxonomy: we are trying to classify organisms into discrete categories although it is now clear that speciation is a continuous and reversible process (1/)

Very glad to see the second chapter of my PhD published in JEB and feel honored that it has been picked as this month's issue "Editor's choice" and cover image! It's been a long and important team effort leading up to these results!

Very happy to share a new paper open access in Syst Biol. Introgression is commonly reported in phylogenomic studies, but whether these patterns are caused by ancestral or contemporary gene flow is rarely understood. Here we took a stab at this problem using parapatric tinkerbirds as a model (1/10)

Social democracy is not a viable alternative to capitalism. It is a tempting prospect, but ultimately suffers from violent contradictions that cannot be sustained. 🧵
