Join us tomorrow Friday at 10 am (room BLB7) for our talk "Darwin's Dream: Unifying Ecological and Evolutionary Change" #ISHPSSB2025

A generalised approach to the study and understanding of adaptive evolution Evolutionary theory has made large impacts on our understanding and management of the world, in part because it has been able to incorporate new data and new insights successfully. Nonetheless, there....

Looking forward to reading it in detail. We published an article that might be useful doi.org/10.1111/brv....

Cambridge Elements in Ecological Psychology

We've published a Cambridge Elements in Ecological Psychology! 🥳
@segundo-ortin.bsky.social and I have tried to provide a short, but all-encompassing introduction. We hope it's useful both for getting familiar with the field & for teaching. It's free for 14 days! doi.org/10.1017/9781...

The Price equation provides a comprehensive representation of evolutionary processes. However, there is no consensus on the explanatory power of the equation. In this article we aim to clarify its place within modern evolutionary theory: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This has been a collaborative effort with Lorenzo Baravalle @lorebar80.bsky.social, Ariel Roffé, and Santiago Ginnobili @santiginno.bsky.social

🎉 New: The Value of Price

We explore the role of the Price equation in evolutionary biology. We argue that, like Galilean kinematics, it is a phenomenological framework that unifies diverse fields by formalizing a shared explanandum.

What's the role of the Price equation within evolutionary theory? Is it a tautology? In our new article we argue that its role is analogous to that of Galilean kinematics in classical mechanics. #evolution #Priceequation #philsci #philbio link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Judas: "Don't worry, this is on me"

I'd say Darwin's + some recipes (Lewontin's, Endler's...). And then use the Price equation to derive their specific equations: Robertson's theorem, Fisher's theorem, breeder's equation, etc. Thus you can see the scope and limitations of each recipe (inheritance mechanisms, other forces, etc.).

Even transparency can be overused, especially when it replaces trust of local practitioners by forcing them invent publicly scrutinisable reasons for their actions. Here’s Thi Nguyen articulating this idea by Onora O’Neil’s #scipol

Is there an equation that unifies ecological and evolutionary change? In a new preprint Brad Duthie and I show that actually there is. From this equation we derive the two fundamental equations of population ecology and evolution (the Price equation). #evolution #ecology
