Our latest work integrating #arrivalbias into evo thinking applies what we know about the role of mutation bias in adaptation to the issue of predictability (for a special issue coming out 2023)

Mutation bias and the predictability of evolution

(1/9) Our latest preprint: debunking misinfo on biases in the introduction process

A #mutbias is a systematic diff in rates for types of mutations, e.g., transition vs. transversion, or GC->AT vs. AT->GC. Such biases can influence the course of adaptation by first come, first served dynamics. This "arrival bias" has been reported in #popgen models, lab #adaptation, and retrospective analyses of natural adaptations

Biologists often attribute purpose to living systems... Should they?

There is a growing recognition that biological phenomena which suggest agency, directionality, or goal-directedness demand new conceptual frameworks that can translate into rigorous theoretical models and discriminating empirical tests.

Freaking amazing that we're at the stage whereby the #evolution tag actually returns rich, meaningful posts about evolutionary biology and the people working on it. Taking advantage of this hashtag before it's overrrun by ... other ... sorts of evolution content.
