The most recent issue of Evolution: Education and Outreach (vol. 2, issue 3) is now available online. I decided to sit this one out after six consecutive contributions (links below), but I will be back in the next issue with a follow-up to my previous article on selection. Evolution: Education and OutreachVolume 2, [...] It is always a nice feeling to have a paper published, especially when it is a first paper for a student. It is an even nicer feeling when that paper is featured on the journal cover (i.e., when you submit a cool picture that the editor likes). As it happens, two of our papers [...] Various bloggers on my must-read list have weighed in on the latest issue of Evolution: Education and Outreach, which focuses on transitional fossils (guest editor, Don Prothero). It is great to see the articles being discussed and recommended. A couple of minor responses to the apt comments (not criticisms per se, or at least [...] The latest issue of Evolution: Education and Outreach is now online. This is a special issue on transitional forms edited by Don Prothero, author of Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters. The papers are available without charge. Remember to also check out the special issue on the evolution of eyes edited [...] The online journal Genome Biology and Evolution is now publishing its initial set of articles, so be sure to have a look and watch for some good stuff in the future. I notice that there’s a paper on mammalian genome sizes planned for the first issue. It looks interesting, though I note the following [...] I received notification today that the most recent article from my lab has been accepted by BioScience. I am feeling a bit sentimental about it because this marks my 50th peer-reviewed paper. It’s also something new for me, a study on grad student conceptions of evolution. I have now officially been all over the [...] Here is an abstract to a forthcoming paper in Trends in Genetics: Evolution is a quest for innovation. Organisms adapt to changing natural selection by evolving new phenotypes. Can we read this dynamics in their genomes? Not every mutation under positive selection responds to a change in selection: beneficial changes also occur at evolutionary [...] This year, Evolution: Education and Outreach will have a special (but not exclusive) focus on Darwin in celebration of the 200th anniversary of his birth and the 150th anniversary of the Origin of Species. The first issue in volume 2 is now available, once again free online. Evolution: Education and OutreachVolume 2, Issue 1 [...] Today’s issue of Science is on speciation. The papers: Species Uncertainties Robert M. May and Paul H. Harvey Science 6 February 2009: 687. Happy Birthday, Mr. Darwin Andrew Sugden, Caroline Ash, Brooks Hanson, and Laura Zahn Science 6 February 2009: 727. The Red Queen and the Court Jester: Species Diversity and the Role [...] For those of you who still are not reading Evolution: Education and Outreach, here’s another reason to check it out. Eugenie Scott and Glenn Branch of the National Center for Science Education have a nice article coming out in the next issue entitled “Don’t call it Darwinism“.
