So... generative AI increases wide-range collaboration with trusted colleagues?
"interacted with more colleagues and their networks became less clustered..broadening in collaboration structures...also concentrated more of their collaboration on ties with stronger prior histories"

That's how large-bodied mammals declined through the late Cenozoic. Slow attrition of origination rates when extinction rates stayed the same. “The Entwives effect”.

A new "Journal of Statistical Ecology" was just lauched. They searching for contributions!
"Its goals are to provide an academic journal at the interface between
ecology and statistics, and to promote an ethical and inclusive open
access publishing model"

Whaaat??? Flightless bird ("Yuezhuornis yangyuanensis... from southeastern China") in the Jurassic? Dude, you literally just learned to fly and you are immediately dropping this superpower.
Reminds me the story of limb loss in early tetrapods.

Beautifully said 👌 this exactly what happenned in paleontology when only the fact of extinction of dinosaurs was known. There was infinity of speculations ranging from plausible to literally space aliens, until the hard evidence in combination with open-ended insight accumulated

In our first spatialy-oriented-program study with my then student @LDaumantas we researched the human settlement rules in prehistory in Lithuania. The most severe change was approximately at 4.2 Ka in the transition between "stone ages" and "metal ages".

The 4.2 ka climatic event (= increased humidity and cold in Northern Europe) might have impacted on the early spread of Uralic languages via habitat changes, animal husbandry and trade

A new study by @AndriiRozhok @niles_eldredge and James DeGregori which presents a novel population genetic mechanism of evolution—the directional selection (of deviating forms) also selects, as a dynamic spandrel, higher mutation rate forms!

Interesting article on the diversity of patterns of hierarchical reasoning inside and across species 👇

Hierarchical reasoning varies across humans (adults vs children, English speakers vs Tsimane speakers) and species (monkeys, crows), rather than operating as an all-or-none capability

'Tug of war' in major bryozoan clades, and the environment-dependence of their dominance:
"...lower average temperatures and greater seasonality could give cyclostome bryozoans with relatively slower metabolism an edge in higher latitudes."
