Thought-provoking commentary by @amyforsythe.bsky.social just dropped on our recent study of individual heterogeneity in life-history trajectories! Always exciting to see the conversation evolve.

Science magazine front cover. Picture of a walnut in its opened shell. The text reads "All about timing. Mating type evolution in walnuts and pecans"
graphical abstract: "In Juglans (top left) and Carya, two morphs show complementary temporal separation between male and female flowering (heterodichogamy). Mating types are controlled by two nonhomologous single-locus mechanisms that arose in the common ancestor of each genus, respectively. (Bottom left) Simplified schematic of a putative functional regulatory element at the Juglans locus. (Bottom right) Strong genotypic correlations across the Carya locus indicate a lack of recombination between two colinear haplotypes with similar gene content."
Congrats to @jeffgroh.bsky.social et al on publication of "Ancient structural variants control sex-specific flowering time morphs in walnuts and hickories"

Years ago I remember reading a review paper that compared Breeder's Equation forecasts of evolutionary change, against observed changes, to evaluate accuracy of quantitative genetic predictions of selection response. I can't find it now... anyone know of a good comparison along these lines?

Friends don't let friends use boxplot for binomial (bimodal) data. Is your box plot hiding something from you?
