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.

We are very happy to welcome Jules Macome as Visiting Fellow to the KLI. Jules is a PhD student at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the origins of life, particularly the application of evolutionary theory as a framework for explaining abiogenesis and its potential limitations. Jules will be a Visiting Fellow at the KLI from 7th to 31st March 2025.

We are delighted to welcome our new Writing-Up Fellow Nina Kraus to the KLI. Nina is currently working towards her PhD at the University of Vienna within the Vienna Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution. Nina's research interest is in the realm of evolutionary medicine, specifically the evolutionary history of cardiogenesis and its implications for congenital heart diseases (CHD) in humans. Nina has studied and published her work on the development of the anuran heart for her her Master's thesis. Her PhD research explores how environmental factors influence the evolution and development of cardiac structures in humans. During her Fellowship at the KLI, from 1st March to 31st August 2025, Nina will be working on her project titled. “Environmental Drivers of Cardiac Evolution and Development”.
