Prevalence and patterns of convergent ecomorphological evolution in rodents
Abstract. Convergent evolution occurs when independent adaptations to similar conditions lead to species that are more similar than expected given their ph

I Dream of Theresa May – Tara Theatre
The good thing about about one five star review and one two star review is you can say: "Divisive new play hits the London stage. Go see it and make your own mind up". So yeah please go see it anyway! 😊

Yeah there’s numbers somewhere showing it’s getting a lot slower. The issue is that it takes forever to get reviewers to agree and return reviews. So the whole system is backed up. We’re often asking 10+ people before one person agrees. Journals don’t really have any control over that.

Want a weird weekend? Take your 68 year old mother to Amsterdam and do the Anne Frank house (I cried the whole way round) and the red light district (my mum’s friends told it was the must see attraction) in one day, while explaining why everything “smells weird” 🤣
