Absolutely delighted that the fantastic Sabrina Imbler saw our latest paper in Evolution Journal and decided to write about the battle for cricket supremacy that we've been studying for years! Check it out in Defector:

New paper! Check out this awesome work by James Gallagher (Jay) E Dale Broder and others in Evolution Journal. How do multiple recently evolved cricket morphs found on the very same lawns in HI differently balance a common set of natural and sexual selection pressures? And, who will win???

Out now in Evolution Journal, we use morphology and genomics to document repeated, convergent body size shifts (which have misled taxonomy for decades) within a radiation of leaf-nosed bats in the Solomon Islands academic.oup.com/evolut/advance…

Our new paper now out Evolution Journal! Following the 💥explosive💥 evolution of new morphs in response to a deadly enemy, Hawaii finds itself the home of a fierce battleground for cricket supremacy. Morph v morph. Natural v sexual selection. Who will win?? 🧵

'Study of slowly evolving ‘living fossils’ reveals key genetic insights'

New research from Yale University biologists Chase Brownstein Thomas Near and coauthors!

3/13 Yet, there has been no clear evidence for a mechanism behind this pattern, and the term 'living fossil' has fallen out of favor. In 2019, during our first meeting, Thomas Near brought up the idea of investigating this pattern using gars, a clade of 7 'living fossil' fishes.

2/13 Since the early days of modern biology, thinkers like Darwin realized that some living animals and plants seemed to show incredibly low species diversity given their age, as well as few differences from their fossil relatives.

1/13 🚨🚨 I am so excited to present our new paper, six years in the making. Here, we provide the first strong evidence that there is a molecular mechanism behind the origins of living fossil lineages! #biology #science #paleontology academic.oup.com/evolut/advance…
