Happy to share our new study published today at Proceedings B! 🐊 Royal Society Publishing Sebastian Hoehna 📝 “The effects of cryptic diversity on diversification dynamics analyses in Crocodylia” royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… #crocodylian #species #macroevolution 🧵 (1/7)

Me, with no reference genome:

Two of the great sentences of Watson and Crick's paper on the structure of DNA, published on this day in 1953:

The first king vulture chick in three decades has hatched at the Bronx Zoo! (1/4)

Beautiful cover!

The federal government is trying to sell the public land where I proposed to my wife, where I first went rock climbing & rappelling, where I would play capture the flag with my Boy Scout troop. I am sick to my stomach.

I am now a single issue voter

I’ve never seen so many conservatives AND liberals stand together as I’ve seen in opposition of this proposed mass sale of public lands. Conservation of our nation’s beauty is a deeply patriotic and nonpartisan value.

Attn ranchers and sportsmen. Right now, there are a bunch lefties out there fighting for you to keep access to your grazing allotments and hunting areas. So when we cross paths with them, let's give them a polite smile and a nod. Granola enjoyers, please respond in kind.
