@Trends_Ecol_Evo Together, this information leads us to reconsider ethanol’s ecological and evolutionary importance in nature.

@Trends_Ecol_Evo It would appear a wide range of animals may ingest ethanol. Potential reasons for ethanol use across the animal kingdom span accidental intake , to medicinal, nutrition and cognitive explanations.

@Trends_Ecol_Evo For millions of years, angiosperms have been producing sugary fruits, saps and nectars for fermentative yeasts and natural ethanol production. But do animals in nature ingest it when present?.

@Trends_Ecol_Evo There is growing evidence that ethanol is more abundant in the natural world than previously thought, and encountered frequently enough, to favour mechanisms enabling its use across animal lineages.

Excited to announce our new paper on ‘The evolutionary ecology of ethanol’ is now out online in @Trends_Ecol_Evo! 🎉. More info below:.

The consumption of ethanol has frequently been seen as largely restricted to humans. Here, we take a broad eco-evolutionary approach to understanding ethanol’s potential impact on the natural world....
