: The evolutionary role of mutational robustness: theoretical insights in Trends in Genetics by
@ronbaas.bsky.social
We bring together results across models to clarify when robustness is favoured and how it influences a population’s capacity to evolve.

Excited to share our new review: The evolutionary role of mutational robustness: theoretical insights, in Trends in Genetics! Our review distils the main theoretical insights into when robustness evolves and how it shapes evolvability.

We’re running the 2025 OoLEN Diversity & Inclusion Survey 🧬🌍 If you are an early-career origins-of-life researcher, we would really value your anonymous input. It takes about 5–8 minutes, and you can skip any question. Trigger warning: bullying and harassment. Form:

Hi I am Piet! Pi of the Evolutionary Modelling Group! Isn’t it just fascinating that we are all here because of evolution? If you feel the same, feel free to reach out to me to join our group!

Hi everyone! We are the Evolutionary Modelling Group! We are interested in many topics, from the evolution of microbial mutational robustness to the evolution of language and culture in humans. We rely on a variety of methods, both computational (evolutionary simulations) and mathematical.

Positive News: Green turtles came back from the brink. The species came off the ‘endangered’ list. It offers hope at a time when more species are being added to the IUCN’s red list. 61% of bird species are now in decline. Coordinated actions can reverse populations at risk of extinction.
