I remember reading the snarky "Reading the entrails of chickens: molecular timescales of evolution and the illusion of precision" during my PhD 20 years ago. nsmn1.uh.edu/dgraur/Artic... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14746989/ certainly a classic takedown, but it's great that the methods advanced!

Decomposers are nature’s recyclers, keeping Earth habitable. Now, a new Nature Ecology & Evolution study reveals that gene swapping between species helped eukaryotic decomposers evolve some of their common traits, adding new insights into how complex life evolves. www.oist.jp/news-center/...

Quality vs quantity, which is better? This ancient biological question has now received an answer for ants: larger colonies of ‘weaker’ ants were found to be more successful than smaller colonies of ‘stronger’ ants 👇 www.oist.jp/news-center/...
