Many people think the history of the Earth is hard to decipher. The geological record jumbles everything up. We set out to fact-check this in my ERC Starting Grant MindTheGap. Focusing on the mode of evolution, because that is something that we can only glean from long records, longer than anything accessible to observation or experimentation today.
Thanks to collaboration with Peter Burgess we used forward models to simulate formation of carbonate rocks and see how completeness and stratigraphic resolution affect the reconstructions. Guess what! The geological record is 👌🏻 With a bit of understanding of #sedimentology and #physics we can test is with computer experiments and it turns out even very patchy rock strata will let us reconstruct the correct mode of evolution. This opens a lot of possibilities, especially for the #microfossil community: your data is priceless to understand #microevolution.

Also a big shoutout to an excellent review process at PCI Paleo, the thoughtful editors and reviewers, and to the lead author Niklas Hohmann for #code #reproducibility effort that meets the most stringent standards. Check out our software at https://lnkd.in/eJkwhhuh

Deeply honoured for this invitation and to be able to present my research in front of an Indian scientific audience. Hopefully, I will be able to deliver!

Excited about this new preprint by my colleague Stephen De Lisle and myself about (the lack of) time-dependency across both micro- and macroevolutionary scales:

#Rotifers have been studied for >100 years re #microevolution, #EcologicalDynamics & #ecotoxicology. This study presents a #CRISPR-based method for KO mutation of 1 or 2 alleles, and KI mutations, in rotifers with high efficiency @MBLscience #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3Kb8CAC

#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
