Humans-B-Gone! Humans-B-Gone! is an animated sci-fi series about a giant praying mantis who works in pest control--those pests including humans.

Revised evolutionary relationships within Brachycera and the early origin of bicoid in flies Mulhair et al. uncover a functional bicoid in non-cyclorrhaphan flies, pushing the gene's origin back by ∼20 million years. Reassessing the Diptera phylogeny using the largest dataset to date permits ...

Latest work out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social

We find the fly development gene bicoid is much older than previously thought (~20 million yrs older!) 🪰🧬

To pinpoint its origins we tackled the Diptera phylogeny, providing some resolution (many open questions remain).

Another article on the number of homomorphisms We extend the class of abelian groups for which a conjecture of Asai and Yoshida on the number of crossed homomorphisms holds. We also prove a general result which connects certain problems concerning...

Failure of the Goldstone Theorem for Vector Fields and Boundary-Mode Proliferation in Hyperbolic Lattices Hyperbolic lattices extend crystallinity into curved space, where negative curvature and exponentially large boundaries reshape collective excitations beyond Euclidean intuition. In this Letter, we pu...

Skyrmionium meta-matter: a topologically heterogeneous magnetic crystal with emergent hybrid dynamics We introduce and systematically investigate a new class of topological magnetic textures, skyrmionium meta-matter, composed of skyrmioniums (Skm, $Q=0$) and skyrmions (Sk, $Q=-1$) arranged in periodic...

Exceptional Congruences for Eta-quotient newforms In 1973, Swinnerton-Dyer completely classified all congruences for coefficients of normalized eigenforms in weights $k \in \{12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 26\}$ on $Γ_{0}(1) = \operatorname{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$...

Sum-difference exponents for boundedly many slopes, and rational complexity The dimension of Kakeya sets can be bounded using sum-difference exponents $\SD(R;s)$ for various sets of rational slopes $R$ and output slope $s$; the arithmetic Kakeya conjecture, which implies the ...
