Very pleased to share that I passed my PhD viva on Monday! Massive thanks to my examiners, Alan Grafen and Oscar Gaggiotti, to my supervisor, @andygardner.bsky.social , and to everyone else that made the day feel special. Feeling very happy and grateful.
A formal theory of group-level adaptation for obligate eusociality:

@kztwyman.bsky.social & @andygardner.bsky.social mathematically connect the dynamics of natural selection to optimisation to provide formal justification for viewing obligately eusocial colonies as adaptive individuals in their own right—that is, superorganism:

The total size of the body’s fat stores is a crucial factor in understanding animal health, life history and conservation biology, but no established method exists to measure it in large marine animals without capturing them.
Please join us for the launch of our edited book 'Innovations in Decolonising the Curriculum: Multidisciplinary Perspectives', on campus at the University of Gloucestershire!
The book features a collection of authors from a a wide range of disciplines.

Innovations in Decolonising the Curriculum: Multidisciplinary Perspectives.
I am happy (with @kztwyman.bsky.social & Jasmeen Kanwal) to have contributed a chapter – "Teaching the Science of Race and Racism" – to this important book that "moves beyond debate to action"
Please do read.

Very happy to see our opinion article out in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social today. 🥳 We ask whether sexual signals can influence the evolutionary trajectory of naturally selected adaptations, such as protective colouration, for better or for worse 🧐 1/n

Abstract. Darwin argued that natural selection leads organisms to appear as if they are striving to maximize their fitness. This idea is readily recognized
