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...

We have TWO post-doctoral fellowships in the Biodiversity Centre at UBC next year! Am happy to chat if you might want to be hosted in my lab. biodiversity.ubc.ca/training-and... Deadline January 15th!

🦅PhD position 🦅 in my new group at @fbm-unil.bsky.social in Switzerland, studying how the social and resource landscapes shape the learning process for soaring flight. Deadline: Oct 30. Pls repost! career5.successfactors.eu/career?caree...

Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... ), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants

🚨 We're hiring! PhD position in Evolutionary Systems Biology at Stockholm University & SciLifeLab 🎓 Focus: evolution, development, computational & mathematical modeling, prediction 📍 Stockholm, Sweden 🕒 4 years, fully-funded 🔍 Details: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/... Please share!

If you’d like to chat about deleterious hitchhiking under balancing selection, come and check my poster number 231 this afternoon! #ESEB2025

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

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student to study patterns of local adaptation and introgression across the spruce hybrid zone in the Rockies near Calgary. Projects can include field work, bioinformatics, pop gen theory, or comparison to plant/ conifer species yeamanlab.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/...

Will be presenting this work today at #eseb2025 poster P02.184, come by if interested about whether we should expect recombination suppression on sex chromosomes should evolve through modifiers on the X or the Y

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

A little late to share, but the first paper from the @heredityjournal.bsky.social special issue on functional and adaptive effects of genomic structural variation is now out!

Interested to know more about a new theory relating the #evolution of #sexchromosomes to the rules of #speciation? Check out this paper that we published with Denis Roze in the last issue of #Science. PDF here: www.science.org/stoken/autho...

NEW SPECIAL ISSUE JUST RELEASED! Sex unfolded: sex, asex, sexes. Read the introductory editorial by Guest Editors D. Roze, S Glemin, @thomaslenormand.bsky.social & K. Van Doninck here: academic.oup.com/jeb/issue/38/7 Fantastic cover art by Caroline Blanc.

New in #EcologyLetters: How does extinction time scale with habitat size? An experiment with #Daphnia found strong support for power law—not exponential—scaling. A rare test of a big theoretical question. Link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #Ecology #Extinction #Scaling #Microcosms

Just a few day left to apply !

Great job opportunity at The Center for Integrative Genomics, Lausanne University, Switzerland unil.ch/cig/en/home.... For a tenure-track Assistant Professor position. More details for how to apply are here nature.com/naturecareer...

My paper with @schmidmax.bsky.social and @charlesmullon.bsky.social is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social 🌟 doi.org/10.1093/evol... 🌟 We show how the effect of longevity on local adaptation, rather than being unidirectional, depends on the life cycle and how frequent selection is relative to dispersal

New paper out with Thomas Brazier, Denis Roze and Sylvain Glémin!

Very happy to announce the publication of our latest work by my former student Sylvain Pouzet in @journal-evo.bsky.social: "Gene network topology drives the mutational landscape of gene expression". doi.org/10.1093/evol... #GeneRegulatoryNetworks #PopulationGenetics #EvolutionarySystemsBiology

New paper out in @jxbotany.bsky.social! 🌱🌾 We found that mixing different wheat varieties can decrease belowground competition at early growth stages, especially under resource limited conditions.

Le texte que @mariusgilbert.bsky.social et moi avons écrit il y a un mois vient de paraître dans Le Monde (avec quelques mises à jour). Nous nous inquiétions des attaques de la nouvelle administration états-unienne contre la science. Malheureusement, la situation ne s'est pas arrangée depuis...

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...

How do complex social behaviors evolve and shape species' success? Here doi.org/10.1038/s420... we reveal how a key social behavior in ants - mouth-to-mouth food sharing #trophallaxis - emerged as ants opportunistically exploited new ecological niches as terrestrial environments changed.

We are excited to share our work on molar #EvoDevo 🦷 in mouse and hamster 🐁, led by the amazing team of Marie Sémon and Sophie Pantalacci. We find an inverted hourglass pattern, with a maximum of evolutionary divergence at the bell stage. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @lbmcinlyon.bsky.social

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

I've really been enjoying being part of this editorial board. I recommend applying, especially if you're into evolutionary theory because they're aren't enough of us !

Looking forward to this ! @dee-unil.bsky.social @unil.bsky.social
