Don't miss it! It's a really nice conférence, with and great organization team
And many interesting poster during the afternoon
The final talk of this conference given by Eyres Isobel on the using experimental evolution to examine the evolution of local adaptation and reproductive isolation
Peichel Catherine gave a fascinating talk about sticklebacks, questionning if chromosomal inversions are barriers to gene flow
What an amazing group of morpho butterflies! 🦋 Violaine Llaurens talk about ecological divergence and genetic architecture, and what is driving their sympatric speciation
Amazing molluscs 🐚 talk by Roger Bultin on the evolution of strong reproductive isolation in Littorina
Baird Stuart gave us a fascinating talk about genome polarisation
A great start for starting the day with Nick barton talking about what can hybrid zones tell us about speciation
#cjm25 It's already over (sniff), with a final day of fascinating talks and interesting discussions
Goodbye Roscoff
🧬✨ It’s official!
EMPSEB31 is coming to Germany, June 2026!
Europe’s friendliest evolution meeting returns, organized by PhD students, for PhD students.
Expect inspiring research, new connections, and a mix of science + fun, the EMPSEB way!
📍Save the date & follow us for updates! Link in Bio 🌍
Wonderful day ending with @couplingdmi.bsky.social who spoke about dock mussels and how anthropogenic hybridization altered marine habitats
Thanks, now I want to go diving in commercial ports in Brittany to see them
Fascinating talk on how hybridization and chromosomal rearrangments between lineages can speed up speciation, with the case of the ithiomiine butterflies 🦋 by @joanameier.bsky.social
With beautiful example of wood ants 🐜 Jonna Kulmuni show us how hybridization is involved in the persistence of biodiversity
John Welch gave a fascinating talk on hybrid fitness akd speciation
@crouxevo.bsky.social presented a project he led, recently published in @science.org, on the rapid establishment of species barriers in plants compared to animals
Second day at the Speciation Jacques Monod conference #cjm25, it goes so fast, amazing talks about the biogeography of speciation and hybridization
Unfortunately only one fish species (Lipophrys pholis), and no Lepadogaster sp found
Some nice others species,
Asterina gibbosa & Porcellana platycheles
Bunch of sea anemone, Anemonia viridis, Cereus pedunculatus & Bunodactis verrucosa
Some free time on the Brittany coast, at Roscoff, dedicating to naturalist inventories
Few nice Polyplacophora,
Acanthochitona crinita & Acanthochitona fascicularis
It's him, @pierre-veron.bsky.social
And plenty of fascinating poster on various subjects
Amazing presentation on the adaptive shifts in neuroanatomy, eye morphology and visual performance during speciation in Heliconius butterflies by Richard Merrill
Based on the fascinating model of the freshwater East African Rift mollusks, especially on bivalves, Bert van Bocxlaer gave an fascinating talk on linking micro and macroevolutionary processes
And on thursday, it will be the turn of the gastropods of this system with my ongoing work 🐌
Pierre Barry gave us a interesting view on how understanding the determinants of divergence and reproductive isolation in marine fishes using a comparative speciation genomics approach
Fascinating talk focus on a process oriented approach to understanding species boundaries: the view from lizards by Sonal Singhal
Amazing presentation of Pierre Véron (looking for Post-doc soon) about the effect of microevolutionary parameters on speciation time in a genetic model of reproductive isolation
What a nice start and amazing first day of Jacques Monod conference on bridging the micro macroevolution gap #cjm25 plenty of fascinating talks and posters
Didn't react quickly enough to illustrate all of them, just catch a few
