Why do we not see evolutionary change in heritable, fitness-related traits in free-living populations? @erikpostma.bsky.social &co use the #evolution of clutch size in great tits to show the importance of gene flow in explaining contemporary evolutionary change and stasis 🧪 buff.ly/ngAKH6r

Lalo had to have a quick cool down in a puddle next to his harem yesterday after a long 8 minute fight with Cannon, which he won. However, in the ensuing chaos Cannon ended up with the oestrus hind, Marla.

🦍🚨 Happy to see this paper out!: "Variation in the timing of developmental milestones in Gorilla does not support the ecological risk aversion hypothesis": tinyurl.com/3y4k93zs It is my 1st collab with the Gorilla Group at MPI (tinyurl.com/4vsry4f9) and was a lot of fun to work with some 🦍 data!
