I'm excited to share that our preprint is now available on bioRxiv! Our study challenges the widespread use of molecular genetic diversity as a predictor adaptive potential, with important implications for how genetic data is used to inform conservation decisions.

Our new @science.org paper is out! Cuckoos and hosts are locked in a coevolutionary arms race over egg mimicry.
But how are these egg types inherited, and could this drive speciation? We sequenced hundreds of genomes to find out!

#SciArt doodle of an ant and butterfly, the and is holding a very long chromosome with the text n=1 above, while the butterfly is standing on a giant pile of microscopic chromosomes with the text above saying n=224-226??
day 2 #InverteFest #invertebrate weird fact:
there are some ants with only a single chromosome, while some butterflies shred their genome into multiple "microchromosomes" 🧬🐜🦋
Pre-print now out on bioRxiv! If you saw my talk at #eseb and want more info, here it is:
PhD fellowship available 📢!
We are offering a 3-year fully funded PhD fellowship at the interface between functional ecology and quantitative genetics in Montpellier FR ! (Application deadline 31 July)
🚨🐜!!! Check out our new paper where we investigate the impact of a soil level (SoilTemp) dataset on niche shifts of introduced ant species globally — using soil temperatures often lessens the extent of niche shifts between native and introduced ranges! 🐜 🐜 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Interested in working on the evolution of genetic architecture 🧬 of complex traits using linked-read sequencing of thousands of common lizards 🦎 from a wild population and common garden experiment?

1/7 Cumulative culture/knowledge occurs when information builds up across generations through a combination of innovation and transmission. In our new paper, we investigate the role of teaching and its coevolution with learning in this process.

Excited to share our new preprint on barn owls revealing how parental roles are flexibly negotiated outside the nest! Using simultaneous GPS + accelerometer tracking, we captured 20,000+ hunting attempts from 68 breeding pairs:
