Congrats Nicole!!

Ah, bummer!! Hope to catch you at a meeting soon!

Thanks Rafael!! Yeah, I couldn’t resist slipping that nugget in there as it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Definitely partly Lewontin-inspired, and also links to your idea of lekking as an “evolutionary ratchet”! Will you be at AOS? Would love to discuss more!

Ooh, can’t wait to read it! Congrats!!

Yeah I hear you.. I suppose it’s only an issue from a modeling perspective if those life history traits (diet shift, female-only care, etc) aren’t already fixed in the pop prior to the start of runaway? (which, I have no idea if they are!)

Interesting! I’m wondering if allele(s) for increased maternal care would be necessary if changes in diet reduced the total parental care load. This is often suggested (but rarely tested) for lekking spp (switch to frugivory reduced foraging difficulty and “liberated” males from parental care)

Thanks!!

Sounds great, thanks!
