At the university of Melbourne with my @leverhulme.ac.uk personal fellowship award. I will be giving a research seminar here on Thursday at noon if you are about and/or want to hear more!:)
Emerling, @freddelsuc.bsky.social et al. investigated candidate genes related to dentition, gustation, and mastication in nine convergent myrmecophagous mammalian lineages, finding that convergent evolution of myrmecophagy was a protracted process.

Cooperative breeding shapes the evolution of vocal communication differently based on territorial context and sex
Abstract. Adaptation to ant and/or termite consumption (myrmecophagy) in mammals constitutes a textbook example of convergent evolution, being independentl
