New preprint out with Michael Griesser and @ryangermain.bsky.social, for some comparative analyses in which we find that population growth rates of cooperative breeders are less sensitive to annual variation in precipitation and temperature doi.org/10.32942/X26...

The oldest DNA retrieved from an animal fossil is ~1.6 million years old - a mammoth from icy Siberia where cold temperatures preserve DNA well. But have you ever wondered how long #ancientDNA is preserved in animal remains from sunny & warm Africa? Well, wonder now more! doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...
