What does #ecology have to do with #innovation? #Scalinglaws of innovation don’t just come from city size, they emerge from how ideas compete and spread. Then, inequality is not a bug; it’s an emergent feature. See doi.org/10.1038/s442... @svalver.bsky.social @sduran-nebreda.bsky.social

Is #innovation born or made? Why do some places keep innovating while others fall behind? Is innovation the product of cities—or of deeper laws? Our new paper in npj Complexity explores these questions through the lens of a century of US patent data.🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s44...

Why doesn’t evolution follow a path of constant #adaptation? Over the past 50 years, punctuated equilibrium has expanded leading to a unified framework for punctuated #evolution across scales—from genes to #ecosystems & our planet. Our new collaboration at doi.org/10.1111/pala...
An illustration of Punctuated Evolution across scales and systems. This is a redrawing from the article "The many ways toward punctuated evolution" at the Journal of Palaeontology. It shows PE in real data from genes (in viruses, bacteria and oncology) to ecosystems (paleoecology). The authors are Salva Duran-Nebreda, Blai Vidiella, Andrej Spiridonov, Niles Eldredge, Michael J. O'Brien, R. Alexander Bentley, & Sergi Valverde.

My PhD student Guilherme Hermanson & I have a new paper out today in Ecology & Evolution! 🐢🤩 We think the morphologically conservative body plan of turtles can in part be explained by allometric constraints imposed by the shell. Thread 👇 for some highlights onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Shell Constraints on Evolutionary Body Size–Limb Size Allometry Can Explain Morphological Conservatism in the Turtle Body Plan
Turtle body size and limb size scale nearly isometrically along the group's evolution, although major deviations are only seen in highly specialized ecological or morphological groups. The evolution ...

Many people take "non-traditional" career paths in academia. My Leading Edge colleagues and I did! We wrote for PLOS Biology about how non-linear careers are increasingly common, but funding agencies and search committees penalize these paths. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Supporting nonlinear careers to diversify science
Those who follow non-linear career trajectories often face disadvantages in academia. This Perspective looks at why individuals might choose non-linear careers and how these benefit diversity in scien...
