- Reposted by Bing Dong董冰New paper out today in @ecol-evol.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ece3.... 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.
- Reposted by Bing Dong董冰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 doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

- Reposted by Bing Dong董冰Hey #ESEB2025 folk! I'll be presenting my work on describing evolution in finite populations at 11:30 am on Tuesday in S-03. Drop by to learn how taking ecology and variable population size seriously changes classic pop gen descriptions like the Price eqn, revealing novel directional eco-evo forces.
- Reposted by Bing Dong董冰hello to everyone going to #ESEB2025! want to hear about the consequences of age-dependent plasticity in reproducing via sex vs. asex? I will give a talk at 11:15am on Thursday in S15.02. come for the pretty Hydra illustrations, stay for the novel evolutionary insights on facultative sex!
- Reposted by Bing Dong董冰Thanks, Hanna! There are quite a few Kokkonuts at #ESEB2025! On Thursday, @gauravathreya.bsky.social talks about ageing + sex, @tomospotter.bsky.social talks about guppy polymorphisms, @ccrowther.bsky.social has a poster on nesting 🐢, and Victor Ronget has a poster on ageing trends in mammals + 🐦!
- Reposted by Bing Dong董冰Two other members of the research group have successfully made it to @eseb2025.bsky.social ahead of me. Look out for @kztwyman.bsky.social, whose poster "A formal theory of group-level adaptation for obligate eusociality" (P01.068) is in this evening's session.
- Reposted by Bing Dong董冰And Chedhawat Chokechaipaisarn, whose poster "The consequences of constrained sex allocation under local mate competition" (P02.036) is in Tuesday's session. This is based on his recent paper in Journal of Evolutionary Biology: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... @jevbio.bsky.social @eseb2025.bsky.social
