@royalsocietypublishing.orgFlamingos famously get their pink colour from carotenoid pigments in their diet. This new #RSOS paper shows that another dietary pigment, riboflavin or vitamin B2, contributes to yellow skin coloration in #reptiles: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
@royalsocietypublishing.orgThis study from #ProcB examines how developmental changes in gene regulation may have contributed to rapid ecological diversification in Lake Victoria cichlid fishes doi.org/10.1098/rspb... | #Ecology #Evolution #MolecularBiology
@royalsocietypublishing.orgNew research from #JRSocInterface: Collective adsorption of pheromones at the water-air interface doi.org/10.1098/rsif... | #Biophysics #EnvironmentalScience
@royalsocietypublishing.orgThis #RSOS study uses a mathematical model to explore how different training programs affect bone health in Thoroughbred #racehorses: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
@royalsocietypublishing.orgDevelopmental bias of body size and caste by the fire ant social supergene doi.org/10.1098/rspb... | #ProcB #DevelopmentalBiology #Evolution #Genetics
@royalsocietypublishing.org#Insects expend energy to stay airborne, but how this cost changes with speed has remained unclear. This #RSOS paper measured the energetic cost of flight across a range of airspeeds in #bumblebees, desert locusts, blowflies and hawkmoths: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
@royalsocietypublishing.orgHow do plant diseases spread? A new paper from #JRSocInterface shows how human movement can drive crop disease outbreaks, with occasional long-distance trips acting as sparks for nationwide spread doi.org/10.1098/rsif... | #Biocomplexity #ComputationalBiology
@royalsocietypublishing.orgNew research from #ProcB: Competing methods of divergence time estimation recover diverse evolutionary timescales doi.org/10.1098/rspb... | #ComputationalBiology #Palaeontology #Taxonomy
@royalsocietypublishing.orgThis new #RSOS paper used teeth from black #bears to estimate age and the age of first reproduction. Read more: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

@royalsocietypublishing.orgComparing apples and oranges (and pinecones): understanding patterns of reproductive disparity across seed plants doi.org/10.1098/rspb... | #ProcB #Evolution #Palaeontology
@royalsocietypublishing.orgTraditional studies require animals to be in front of cameras to understand how they move. This #RSOS study shows that their body movements can be recreated with accuracy comparable to traditional videography, even when the animals are not visible: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
New paper out on the use of macrogenomics to study changing marine ecosystems. It was really fun to write! Thanks to Leif Andersson, Kerstin Johannesson, @ulfbergstrom.bsky.social and @awallberg.bsky.social
@royalsocietypublishing.orgMost people know that losing sleep makes it harder to think clearly, but this new research paper from #JRSocInterface shows that it also changes the way we walk doi.org/10.1098/rsif... | #Biomechanics #BiomedicalEngineering
@royalsocietypublishing.orgNew research from #ProcB: Comparative population genomics reveal stark differences in the genomic structure and drivers of isolation for two sky island bumble bees doi.org/10.1098/rspb... | #Ecology #Genetics
@david-s-stolz.bsky.socialReposted by @royalsocietypublishing.orgNew article out in RSOS. Led by Jan F Weis, we show that self-compassion predicts positive affect and modulates changes in self-esteem in response to performing our Learning-of-Effort-Efficacy (LOEE) task.
Joint work with @soerenkrach.bsky.social and @fmpaulus.bsky.social
@royalsocietypublishing.orgResearchers have discovered a new species of extinct #crocodile from Egypt, sharing more than just its home with the Great Sphinx. Read the full #RSOS paper: doi.org/10.1098/rsos... #palaeontology @palaeoburke.bsky.social
@royalsocietypublishing.orgThis commentary from #ProcB reviews a recently published paper by Rossi and colleagues, which used an innovative experimental design to measure the energetic cost of buzz pollination (or floral buzzing) doi.org/10.1098/rspb... | #Behaviour #Biomechanics #Physiology
