Check out this cool work from @crouxevo.bsky.social and others, congrats!!! 🥳 Rapid establishment of species barriers in plants compared with that in animals | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How does stochasticity in learning impact the accumulation of knowledge and the evolution of learning? https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.26.672373v1

Pre-print now out on bioRxiv! If you saw my talk at #eseb and want more info, here it is:

If you like cooperation, dispersal, modelling, or you just want to have a chat, come to see me poster P03.050 #ESEB2050

My poster P02.385 is now up on its board! Come say hi if you want to learn about the role of sexual conflict in transitions from combined to separate sexes is plants! 🌱 #ESEB2025

Delighted to have our work on the joint emergence of dioecy and sexual dimorphism be part of this wonderful special issue! I will be presenting this at @eseb2025.bsky.social in a couple of weeks, poster P02.385 on Aug 19th. Feel free to pop by! ☺️

Applications now open for UNIL Summer School on Modelling for Evo Bio (1–6 Sept 2025, Lausanne)! Aimed at PhD students interested in formal approaches to evolutionary ecology questions like sexual selection, social & life-history evolution. Scholarships available. Pls share! www.shorturl.at/znk5g

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. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Deleterious mutations and selection for sex in spatially structured, diploid populations https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.22.634382v1

1/7 Sexual antagonism arises when males and females face different selection pressures for a trait influenced by shared genes. This is thought to drive balancing selection and maintain genetic polymorphism. We challenge this view in our recent paper : 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/evlett/qrae059

1/7 Very happy to share our latest paper on the joint evolution of separate sexes and sexual dimorphism in @jevbio.bsky.social, led by @thomaslesaffre.bsky.social and in collaboration with John Pannell at @dee-unil.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/voae136

Thrilled to share this new paper now out in @jevbio.bsky.social ! 🌺

People, just stop doing Frontiers special issues. Find a nice diamond open access journal, and self-publish and collaboratively peer review the set of papers you all want to write. Do not give Frontiers money. They add no value. If anything, they hurt your reputation. MDPI is of course even worse.

📣 The final chapter of my PhD is now out in @evolletters.bsky.social !! 📣 🦌 Using genomic and fitness data from a long-term study of red deer we investigated the interaction between inbreeding depression and the environment (ID × E) doi.org/10.1093/evle...
