More Fun Than Fun: David Wake, Salamanders and the Origin and Loss of Species

More Fun Than Fun: David Wake, Salamanders and the Origin and Loss of Species

On April 29, 2021, I received the sad news that David Wake was no more. Despite being somewhat numbed by the relentless news of death and destruction caused by the pandemic, Wake’s passing on raised my lugubriousness much more above the background noise.
Fond memories rushed into my consciousness. I first met David Wake in October 1994, when I visited the University of Berkeley to give a seminar at the invitation of my friend and colleague Wayne M. Getz, a distinguished multi-disciplinary scientist with his deft fingers in many pies, including honey bee kin-recognition, wildlife in Africa, conservation science and mathematical modelling. ....

David B. Wake (1936–2021)

David B. Wake, a pioneer in the fields of evolutionary morphology, evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), and organismal diversification, died on 29 April. He was 84. Wake was a career-long visionary in organismal biology who led evolutionary biologists to examine not only how organisms are different but also how they become different. As a graduate student, he set the framework for his career by detailing the evolutionary relationships and morphological diversity of salamanders. He then delved into functional morphology (how organismal structures work), evolutionary development (how developmental pathways influence diversification of form), and speciation (how species come to be). One of the most influential and integrative biodiversity scientists of his era, Dave was boundlessly curious about all aspects of evolution and unusually open-minded about new techniques and analyses.

Dave was born on 8 June 1936 and raised in South Dakota. He attended Pacific Lutheran College ....

Snakeskin-Inspired Pilings Could Stabilize Buildings

Buildings, bridges and offshore infrastructure might one day stand on pilings modeled on snakeskin, based on research at the University of California, Davis, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. With surfaces designed to move through soil more easily in one direction than the other, snakeskin pilings would be easier to drive into soil but difficult to pull out. ....

'Great thinker': UC Berkeley professor emeritus David Wake dies at age 84

David Wake, a widely-loved and respected UC Berkeley professor emeritus of integrative biology and the world’s leading salamander expert, died April 29 at the age of 84.
After getting his doctorate at the University of Southern California, David Wake was an assistant professor at the University of Chicago until 1969, when he was hired at UC Berkeley. According to his wife, Marvalee Wake, who is also a graduate professor in integrative biology, the two viewed their science as “complementary.”
“Hundreds of messages (are) coming in worldwide that pretty much say the same thing, talking about his high level of integrity, his ethical nature, his warmth and friendliness, his intellectual curiosity and intellectual scope,” Marvalee Wake said. ....

East and West Coast mice show evolution can be predictable

Over 400 to 600 mouse generations, East and West Coast populations of European house mice have adapted to similar environmental conditions in very similar ways, research finds.
The European house mouse has invaded nearly every corner of the Americas since colonizers brought it here a few hundred years ago, and it now lives practically everywhere humans store their food.
Yet in that relatively short time span, populations on the East and West Coasts have changed their body size and nest building behavior in nearly identical ways, according to the study.
To make these adaptations at least in the case of body size mice in the Western United States evolved many of the same genetic changes as their cousins in the East, showing that evolution often works on the same genes in different populations when those populations are confronted with similar environmental conditions. ....
