We're hiring! A Post-doctoral fellow in Eco-evolutionary shifts in bumblebee communities. You will be working within @beccsweden.bsky.social w/ Professor Bengt Hansson at The Department of Biology. 👉https://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:867222/ Please apply no later than 19 December!

Latest work out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social We find the fly development gene bicoid is much older than previously thought (~20 million yrs older!) 🪰🧬 To pinpoint its origins we tackled the Diptera phylogeny, providing some resolution (many open questions remain). 🔗 tinyurl.com/2vyuevpy

So many prominent Chinese-American scientists whose lives and careers were turned upside down in the first Trump administration. The 5 year retroactive punishment is like penalizing something for an ‘infraction’ which was not even an infraction when the action occurred. How does this make sense?

The latest in Sinophobia, can't help but wonder how soon will this Chinese-born Canadian living in America also be targeted...

Hi, I'm setting up a peer support platform for ECRs in ecology & evolution in China, aiming to address a huge problem --- academic burnout driven by hyper-competition and a system that often prioritizes elite background/title over actual research. #ECR #AcademicSupport #科研互助 #ecology #evolution

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! doi.org/10.1126/scie... 🧵1/6

Gelechioidea, that superdiverse superfamily of Lepidoptera that has been a super mess taxonomically, finally gets some structure at the family level with phylogenomics! Read all about it in our article led by PhD student @etkayapar.bsky.social ! resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

This was a fun collaboration, led by Guerin Brown @guerin-brown.bsky.social in the Forbes Lab @lordforbington.bsky.social - our teams found European parasitoids emerged from North American oak gall wasp species in western and eastern North America, which were likely separate introductions.
