Watched "The Life of P" and Richard Parker over the weekend: what an amazing story and film (even non-3D). Never actually came to read the book, but think I should take along to vacations this summer.

Mutation-Driven Evolution and Punctuated Equilibrium
Started reading a brand new book by Nei: "Mutation-Driven Evolution". So far I like it. Fits with what I think about evolution. Eager to see how the author develops the argument...
Also bought this one. Actually I never really believed in punctuated equilibrium, but one has to read all the arguments and consider them.
It's a bit bigger though, this book. Now wondering if that says something about the validity of the presented theories. Evolution happens every day and everywhere!

this biosphere is owned viruses
On Tuesday Eugene Koonin was here in Kolonia and gave a great talk on viruses and our virus world. Actually I thought nematodes own this planet, but I seem wrong there. And there are crazy things: viruses are host to their own phages, virophages and while our genome is made up to a large part of virus derived transposons there are also transposons in viral gnomes, the transpoviron. See my notes below, easy, huh?!

SplitsTree?!?
Anybody seen my copy of Huson's #SplitsTree ? Can't seem to find it but need it urgently to show Darwin was right with the #barnacles ...

| There you go - right again the man. :D |
maybe this is actually part of the #problem,
that the #Czech Republic has to tell people, that it is not the #Chechen Republic.
Although of course the former one is just one of these old european countries, while the latter one is part of the Russian Federation ruled by a peace loving sportsman with a likeness for big cats and ageing football (soccer if you like) stars. Very confusing...
