Hitherto diversity has been encouraged. If you take a look at the hosting guidelines, it was suggested that the hosts be creative about how to present the monthly collection of evolution blog-posts. And that has been fun. However, with this transition I now elect to publish the forthcoming editions in a more streamlined manner. At this point in time I am not quite sure what that will entail, so the product will probably evolve with each edition. Lastly, for those who wish to reminisce, here's a list of the first 76 editions.
And with that, here is the 77th Carnival of Evolution - the Phoenix edition:

That concludes the 77th CoE - the Phoenix edition. No request for host volunteers will be made, because the next edition will be right here as well. But do send in posts on evolution, even if you aren't the author. If you have other suggestions, those would be welcome too. Carnival of Evolution is on Facebook and Twitter. ✌ ☮
