We are very happy to welcome our new Post-doc Fellow Silvia Basanta to the KLI. Silvia completed her PhD under the guidance of Prof. Mihaela Pavlicev, and has recently been awarded a doctoral degree from the University of Vienna for her thesis titled, “The evolution of signalling in mammalian pregnancy”. Silvia has an academic background both in philosophy as well as biology. During her post-doc research at the KLI, Silvia will investigate how the female body has been portrayed in contemporary evolutionary biology. (Click on title to read more.)

We are very happy to welcome our new Writing-up Fellow Marta Gómez-Recio to the KLI. Marta is currently a PhD student at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Spain, where she investigates human respiratory kinematics and their relationship to torso morphology. During her fellowship at the KLI, Marta’s project, “From Shape to Function: Evolutionary Dynamics of Human Breathing through 4D Geometric Morphometrics” aims to explore the relationship between torso shape and breathing kinematics in modern humans, with an emphasis on its evolutionary significance.

Read the editors’ summary of the latest issue, out this month, with free reading links for everything in 20(1). Articles include an interrogation of the explanatory power of the Price equation, a review of the failure of current major theories to explain the evolution of cooperation, an exploration of the origins of the “temperature–size rule,” and an analysis of how to define the concept of organism. Also in the issue, a historical essay links Sachs’s 19th-century work on comparative plant sexuality to contemporary research, and our volume 20 cover debuts featuring work by ceramics painter Clarice Cliff. At the end of the summary, we’ve got bonus reading links for our December 2024 issue.
