Women’s participation in science has risen sharply, but a Nature Index analysis finds that gender gaps in first and last authorship — markers of key scientific achievements — have barely shifted over the past decade.

Separating the genetic and environmental drivers of body temperature during the development of endothermy in an altricial bird #sparrows

We also show higher body temperatures were selected for - again this was independent of growth.
We find negligible heritability of body temp and strong effects of the natal environment after thermal independence. We also show correlations in body temp between early and mid stages was explained by natal environment effects. Importantly these effects were independent of growth.
We conducted a cross-foster experiment and measured surface body temperatures using thermal imaging throughout the nestling period.
Thermal physiology meets quantitative genetics - our new paper explores the drivers of body temperature in nestling sparrows #ornithology

Historical records across thousands of women showed that mothers with more children had shorter lifespans during a famine, fitting an evolutionary explanation for why we age
