@RSocPublishing Chedhawat (Tim) has given an online seminar about this sex-ratio work, here: https://t.co/9Kfig373cN #BiologyLetters @RSocPublishing #OA

New paper: "Density-dependent dispersal reduces conflict over the sex ratio" (#OpenAccess), w/ Chedhawat Chokechaipaisarn https://t.co/3pyewm7cbU Sex-ratio optima for haplodiploid parents converge in viscous populations when dispersal is density-dependent @RSocPublishing #OA

We've just launched the third round of our YAS - MSP Pairing Scheme, which brings together YAS members and Members of Scottish Parliament for shadowing visits to exchange knowledge about their work! #EvidenceBasedPolicy #Holyrood https://t.co/6d10TTbS9j

One of my undergraduate students, Callum Ferrando, has just published a comic in Journal of Evolutionary Biology. You can find "Taylor's famous result" here: https://t.co/v2fspilDF8 @JEvBio @univofstandrews

My paper is out! "Kin selection as a modulator of human handedness: sex-specific, parental & parent-of-origin effects" (#OpenAccess), w/ Silvia Paracchini (@silParacchini)&Andy Gardner (@drandygardner) @Journal_EHS #laterality2024 https://t.co/3bPcoyQAL0 https://t.co/4OHcrCqtFX

Sadly not joining us at #Evol2024 is Bing Dong (@BingDong8) whose visa hasn't been granted in time--despite him applying in April! However, his poster "Kin competition drives the evolution of earlier onset of metamorphosis" might yet make it to the meeting (Sat, 17:30, H15).

Finally, Kalyani Twyman (@kalyani_zt) is giving a talk on "The clonality window: relatedness & the group covariance effect in the evolution of division of labour" (Tue, 15:00, Room 520D). #Evol2024

Tom Scott (not on Twitter) is also presenting a poster "Kin-discriminating partner choice promotes the evolution of helping" (Mon, 17:30, poster board G1)--a collaboration with Geoff Wild (@geoffwild). #Evol2024

@imprintedgene Chon I Kam (Franklin, @ChonIKam) is presenting a poster on "The evolution of modulated dispersal" (Mon, 17:30, poster board G2). #Evol2024

Next up, Gardner lab alumnus Tom Hitchcock (@imprintedgene) is giving a talk on "Paternal genome elimination, monogenic reproduction & evol genetics of atypical sex chromosome systems" (Sat, 17:15, 518B). (Also catch his poster H18 on chimerism & altruism on Sat, 17:30) #Evol2024

Starting on my journey to Montreal for #Evol2024! I'm not presenting this time, but some members of my research group are. First up is Chedhawat (Tim) Chokechaipaisarn (not on Twitter), who'll be talking about density-dependent dispersal and sex ratios (Sat, 16:30, Room 516C).

In his keynote, @drandygardner discusses the foundations, motivations and applications of the theory of inclusive fitness in order to assess recent calls for a complete rethink of evolutionary theory.

I can confirm that @popgroup next year will be in Sheffield. 7-9 Jan. Put it in your diary now
