Interested in a PhD in Theoretical evolutionary ecology? A position is opened in my lab. "Theoretical and statistical modeling of eco-evolutionary feedback loops from abundance-phenotype time series" Details and application: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Docto...

We're recruiting! We're looking for two graduate students to join us at UBC in Vancouver. Fully funded and open to global applicants, with flexible start-date. Topics include theory, bioinformatics, and microbiology. More details: asherleeks.com/apply #socialviruses #evosky #virosky 🧪

Ever wondered what makes some alleles dominant (A) and others recessive (a) ? In our new paper, we explored how a series of recently discovered "dominance modifiers", genetic elements that have long remained elusive, achieve their regulatory function. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Dominance modifiers at the Arabidopsis self-incompatibility locus retain proto-miRNA features and act through non-canonical pathwaysAuthor summary Many plants avoid self-fertilization through a system of self-incompatibility, which allows them to recognize and reject their own pollen. In plants like those in the Arabidopsis family...journals.plos.org

New paper published today in @pnas.org with @filippozimmaro.bsky.social Mirta Galesic and @jacrickets.bsky.social LINK: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... We use evolutionary game theory to study when populations will fracture into groups that differ in their beliefs, behaviors and preferences.

🌺 New preprint out with John Pannell and @charlesmullon.bsky.social ! 🌺 We show that selection broadly favours a form of plasticity for the selfing rate where individuals adjust their mating behaviour to their condition — their overall vitality owing to their genetic background and environment. ⤵️

Join us at the Evolutionary Biology Centre at Uppsala University. We’re searching for an Assistant Professor in Biology. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

I am looking for a PhD student to join my new Socio-Eco-Evo group, hosted in Katie Peichel's Evolutionary Ecology Division @ University of Bern. We're offering a fully funded 4-year position, studying social plasticity and behavioral adaptation among stickleback in Greenland. Please share around!

New work from @miyapan.bsky.social and our team, bringing ant, bee, and wasp labs together. @chuanxinyu.bsky.social shows that the ANTSR locus we discovered in ants has determined sex for 150+ My across bees and stinging wasps 🐜🐝, despite virtually no sequence conservation 😮 doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Looking forward to the Modern Coexistence Theory workshop tomorrow. Please repost :)

It’s that time of the year again: we are looking for a new cohort of @jevbio.bsky.social editors. Join our board and support your #SocietyJournal!

Excited to share that I’m starting a research group at MPI for Biology Tübingen — and we’re recruiting PhD students! We are offering two fully funded PhD positions on sex determination and development in Hymenoptera 🐜🐝. Please share with prospective students who might be interested.

1/6 In a new preprint we ask a question: Why do males and females so often age and die at different rates? We argue that sex-specific mutation accumulation may be the most parsimonious evolutionary explanation for sex-biased ageing: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...
