We have a new #preprint on #lunar #reproductive #timing as a #magictrait in #speciation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... with former PhD students Alexander Jacobsen 🧪💻 Runa Ekrem 🦟🌊 🙏 Big thanks to both for the great work! #EvoBio #barriers #Chronobiology #circadian #MarineEcology
Full moon and new moon strains from Roscoff differ in lunar reproductive timing (A). Genotyping of 11 divergent loci (B) in 797 field-caught individuals shows that thetwo timing strains are distinct genetic entities (C).

You may think that studying molluscs instead of whales, dolphins or wolves is boring. But did you know that Arctica islandica, the longest-living animal on record (507 years) spends basically five full centuries, buried in sediment, doing nothing but filtering seawater ? Now that is boring. 🦑🧪🌊🌿

Multiple anthropogenic stressors can negatively impact species but can a single stressor also have multiple, concurrent impacts? Here we show that light pollution creates several simultaneous impacts to the nocturnal movement ecology of a moth and a spider: tinyurl.com/5eku5bff (1/5)

Heard of "Darwin's paradox"? It refers to Charles Darwin's observation that coral reefs are wildly productive despite occurring in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. Reefs are, so the story goes, oases in marine deserts 🏝️... Turns out that 2/3 of these assertions are very wrong... 🌐 🦑🧪 🧵⬇️
