Ok. This is something I know very little about but it looks like one very very cool paper. I’ve just skim-read it so far but it looks great and I have SO many questions. Well done to the authors.

Happy to announce that from August 1st I will be taking up the position of Head of the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Behaviour at the University of Liverpool. University of Liverpool Exciting times.
