Contrasting evolutionary outcomes in a human life history trait which is heritable and under consistent unbiased directional selection Microevolution is well documented in natural populations, yet its persistence as an adaptive process remains debated. Despite widespread directional selection on heritable traits, including life-histo...

New preprint out — based on work from my PhD (yes, Chapter 3!) — where I ask:
👉 How predictable and consistent are evolutionary responses to selection in natural populations?

Now online ‪Communications Biology!‬ We showed that variation aligns across biological levels. We proposed that #macroevolution mould #developmentalbias with a cascading effect on variation. #Microevolution, then, may be a result—not a cause of—macroevolution. nature.com/articles/s42...

4 years ago, @anjaligupta.bsky.social spent a summer in Lund and collected amazing data of #damselflies. Now, the data/results are published doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... @jevbio.bsky.social ky.social. My highlight: we proposed a way to relate present-day selection #microevolution with #macroevolution.

What can #population-level processes tell us about large-scale #biodiversity? 🧵:
1/8 A key question in #evolutionary #biology: Can we predict how quickly lineages diversify (#speciation rates) based on #traits observable at the population level?

New Special Issue from our flagship journal @jevbio.bsky.social! This arose from a symposium at ESEB2022 in Prague - we are delighted to see it come to fruition!

Well done to the Guest Eds and all contributing authors 👏
