#Evolution #Neuroscience #Cognition - Crows recognize geometric regularity - "The crows exhibited a geometric regularity effect, showing better performance with shapes featuring right angles, parallel lines, or symmetry over more irregular shapes. This performance advantage did not require learning. Our findings suggest that geometric intuitions are not specific to humans but are deeply rooted in biological evolution." - Philipp Schmidbauer et al., Crows recognize geometric regularity.Sci. Adv.11,eadt3718(2025).DOI:10.1126/sciadv.adt3718 https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adt3718

I have just skimmed the book 'Gathering Moss' by #RobinWallKimmerer (searched something for my moss podcast episode) and am amazed at how much you can take away from moss evolution for today's political situation. Evolution speaks much for diverse, resisting, and adaptive communities.

Our fingers wrinkle in water due to a loss of blood flow our nervous system causes, and (they think) this is because evolution-wise, this would've allowed early humans to grip things better when their hands were wet (fish, tools, etc).

Evolution is so goofy.

What if, instead of being a weak, defenceless creature that can only eat one kind of algae (or whatever) and lives in one tiny area of the world, you evolved into something which could be tough AND easily able to defend itself AND ate both that algae PLUS all kinds of other things if times got tough, AND lived all over the map?

Some one put me in charge of evolution FFS

What can we learn from evolutionary biology to design smarter robot behaviour?

In the latest episode, I chatted to Dr. Tanja Katharina Kaiser from the University of Technology Nuremberg about evolving multi-robot teams.

Ancient #fossil sheds big light on #evolution enigma, solving a 100-year arthropod mystery
https://phys.org/news/2025-04-ancient-fossil-big-evolution-enigma.html

"#Helmetia expansa belongs to a rare group of early #arthropods called concilitergans, close relatives of #trilobites. Unlike trilobites, concilitergans lacked calcified exoskeletons, so their remains only fossilized under exceptional conditions—like those in the 508-million-year-old #BurgessShale of Canada, where even soft tissues like guts, legs, and gills were preserved."

DEE Prof. Tanja Schwander is giving her inaugural lecture tomorrow, Thursday, April 10th at the Biophore Amphitheater.

Mosaic Evolution Generates Patches Of Vivid Colors In The Lories
