Chalicothere by Gabriel U. This group of extinct perissodactyls diverged from the ancestors of horses, rhinos and tapirs no later than the Eocene. I'm listening to the most recent Common Descent #podcast about them.

🧬⌛ A study of 117 mammal species shows that suppressing #reproduction can boost life expectancy by 10%.
While males benefit from removing the effects of testosterone on aging, females gain longevity by avoiding the high #energy costs of pregnancy and nursing.

“What we found shows that same-sex [sexual behavior] is not like something bizarre, aberrant or rare. It’s everywhere, it’s very useful, it’s very important,” says Vincent Savolainen, co-author of a new study that shows 59 nonhuman primate species take part in same-sex sexual activities. Here's more from NBC.

🧬 New paper by Dera et al. in Science Advances proposing a geometric complexity space to map the full morphological diversity of life.
Striking result: life occupies only a tiny, clustered region of all geometrically possible forms, with large heteromorphic regions systematically avoided. The authors argue that this reflects deep physical and developmental constraints shaping evolution.

Billions of years ago, #life crossed a threshold. Single cells started to band together, and a world of formless, unicellular life was on course to evolve into the riot of shapes and functions of multicellular life today, from ants to pear trees to people.
It's a transition as momentous as any in the history of life, and until recently we had no idea how it happened.
But the momentous transition to #multicellular life may not have been so hard after all.
The evidence comes from multiple directions. The evolutionary histories of some groups of organisms record repeated transitions from single-celled to multicellular forms, suggesting the hurdles could not have been so high.
Genetic comparisons between simple multicellular organisms and their single-celled relatives have revealed that much of the molecular equipment needed for cells to band together and coordinate their activities may have been in place well before multicellularity evolved.
And clever experiments have shown that in the test tube, single-celled life can evolve the beginnings of multicellularity in just a few hundred generations—an evolutionary instant.
