#commondescent — Public Fediverse posts

#Commondescent is a concept in evolutionary biology applicable when one species is the ancestor of two or more species later in time. According to modern evolutionary biology, all living beings could be descendants

My newest academic article is now out in Media International Australia.

Based on the ‘extended-mixed methods’ model developed by Janet Fulton and others, my paper looks at the role podcasting can play in communicating palaeontology, and science more generally.

I completed the study mostly through actual podcast production (Fossils and Fiction) so in part I was trying to demonstrate production-as-method alongside personal interest in getting more acquainted with the field of palaeontology. The paper spends time evidencing the creative research approach, but ironically I’ve now had it confirmed that my podcast will not be counted as a creative research output because in the view of the Creative Works Assessment Panel:

Travis’s role in production is largely technical (audio mixing/production, creation and administration of social media, etc.), and therefore the podcast as a series could not be considered eligible for creative works
assessment

Still, I’m proud of the three years of production work, collaboration, and effort that I’ve put into this project, and pleased to see it published in Australia’s leading communication journal.

Thanks to reviewers, collaborators, guests, and many others who’ve offered advice and support in this project. A special thanks must go to my key fellow ‘palaeo podcasters’ who featured as interviewees and case studies, Garret Kruger of I Know Dino, Jimmy Waldron of Dinosaurs Will Always Be Awesome, Adele Pentland of Pals in Palaeo, Tom Jurassic from the Jurassic Park Podcast and more, Lucas Zellers of Making a Monster, and Michael Mills of Palaeo Jam. Along the way, the work was mentioned on Palaeocast, I Know Dino, and I appeared as a guest in a full episode of Common Descent‘s ‘Spotlight 2024‘ series.

The paper is available here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1329878X241265824

If you have more influence than me, encourage Common Descent to pop by here. (The web page suggests still on X #AKA The BirdSite.) Latest episode is about Plant Defences — good listen but I was waiting for plant-on-plant warfare like strangler figs but it was an overview on defences FROM animals. Still was great fun. #CommonDescent

#Evolution refers to change in a biological population's inherited traits from generation to generation. All species on Earth originated by the mechanism of evolution, through descent from common ancestors. Evolution occurs as changes accumulate over generations. Charles Darwin recognized evolution by natural selection, also called "descent with modification", as the fundamental process underlying all of life, whether viewed at a large scale above the level of species (#macroevolution — in terms of formation of new species, changes within lineages, and extinction), or at a small scale within a species (#microevolution — in terms of change in gene frequency). In a nutshell, evolution by natural selection can be simplified to the following principles: 1) Variability 2) Differential Fitness 3) Heredity

Common descent is the scientific theory that all living organisms on Earth descend from a common ancestor. Although evolution had been suggested as far back as Ancient Greece, the first proponent of common descent appears to have been Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin. Biologists have evidence that all life developed from a common ancestor that lived just under 4 billion years ago…
