So we have No Meat May, and Dry January, how about No-Fly February? Where nobody takes any flights for a month because, you know, the planet?

Early Career prize blog post! @LottedeVries2 introduces animal and plant senescence and how they found it to interact with Keyfitz’ entropy https://t.co/LxmiDVU0F3

We are happy to announce the shortlist for our Robert May prize for early career researchers!🏆 Read the shortlisted articles here! https://t.co/2efuhzHj8f

I am recruiting a PhD candidate - if you are interested in the intersections between insects and their microbes #bacteria #viruses please apply! https://t.co/VaqsYQvI2N Or RT! 🐝🦋🪰🧫🦠

This is not normal.

OPEN POSITION ALERT! Postdoctoral researcher in our group @uni_mainz_eng to study the molecular regulation of learning and forgetting in ants with @SusanneFoitzik @RomainLibbrecht and Inon Scharf. Check for more details the "News" section here:

Anytime you think you understand #viruses, they get weirder. Meet Jingmen tick virus (JMTV), the 1st multipartite virus of primates discovered. What's weird about it? Imagine a group of people who travel everywhere together, but in different cars. That's the JMTV genome.

Interested in research that contributes to aviation safety, modelling wildlife movement or even better, both? @IBED_UvA we are fortunate to be collaborating with DLR-DAAD who have a fellowship open for a PhD position. For more info see: https://t.co/o9TX5I4i39 please RT

The final instalment of my PhD is out. A pleasure to work alongside @RoosKentie to examine the survival and reproductive consequences of different migration strategies in lesser black-backed #gulls.

Interested in a fully funded PhD @EcoEvo_ANU at Australia's best university for biologists? Next deadlines April 15 & August 31. Info here 👇 @AnaMMSequeira @megabugface @DanielWANoble @SashaMikheyev @DamienFarine @LucyMAplin https://t.co/sZkX2CYuCQ Flying foxes by the lake

We will not be able to understand how animals originated without unravelling the whole diversity of animal's relatives. MISSINGRELATIVES will try to get those lineages that are out there (& we know nothing!)& see what they tell us. I can't wait to get them! #ERCAdG @ERC_Research

For great summaries/explanations of the paper: 1) The recommendation in @PeerCommunityIn: https://t.co/RwbowREsZq 2) A blog by Daniel Nettle

Last week was a good week: two papers came out :)! In this paper we (@kokkonutter& @Wanounoos) try to provide some intuition about when and why changes in extrinsic mortality can be expected to impact the evolution of senescence:

Want to use Keyfitz entropy to classify survivorship curves? Check out our new paper with @Rob_SalGo and @biodemography in @MethodsEcolEvol on how to discretise Keyfitz' original measure to use it for discrete-time models:

🚨New paper alert!🚨 We've known for a decade that killer whale moms keep their adult sons alive. But how does this impact the moms? Turns out, quite a lot! Read more here (OA) https://t.co/RooljcZ4YW and see the thread below...

Our research 'Positive fitness effects help explain the broad range of Wolbachia prevalences in natural populations' w/ @APKaristo @kokkonutter @LottedeVries2 was recommended for @PCI_Ecology
