A new study by Evin et al. @isemevol.bsky.social with Colline Brassard #MECADEV in Science reveals that dogs already exhibited a wide variety of shapes and sizes more than 11,000 years ago, long before modern breeding practices. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

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

Very happy to announce that the next POPGROUP meeting will take place in Lille on 7-9 January ! Follow ‪@popgroup2026.bsky.social for all updates. 📢 Please share widely ! 📢‬

What a nice start to the Jacques Monod conference #cjm25 on speciation in Roscoff, Britany. What an inspiring lineup of talks and scientists. Even the weather is remarkably welcoming, for now, at least. 🤩

Just took my breakfast at the #cjm25 speciation conference and around me in a 50m2 breakfast room were seated Nick Barton, Craig Moritz, Amaury Lambert, Maud tenaillon, Ludovic Orlando, Stuart Baird, John Welch, Daniel Matute etc... This density of 🤯🤯🤯 !

#MT180 Occitanie Est ⏱3 min chrono pour résumer 3 ans de travail. 👏Bravo à : 🏆🥇 Jérémy Defrance de l’UM (ED Gaia, CEFE) qui remporte à la fois le 1e prix du jury et le prix du public 🥈 Klara Asselin, UM ED Gaia, 2e prix du jury 🥉 Sandra Victor, UM EdI2s, 3e prix du jury

(1/6) 🦋 We are thrilled to announce the release of the 1,000th reference genome of Lepidoptera species found in Europe! This goal was reached with the release of Stenoptilia islandicus, also known as the mountain plume moth. Read the story below!👇🏽

Does #SexualSelection fuel #Speciation? Our new #meta-analysis of comparative studies finds support for a positive relationship, but the rather moderate global effect suggests it’s not necessarily a dominant force. doi.org/10.1093/evle...

A sparkling side-project with Tamra Mendelson, Mike Ritchie, Lucas Marie-Orleach (@irbi-tours.bsky.social) & Jeanne Tonnabel (@isemevol.bsky.social). Hats off @evolletters.bsky.social for the thoughtful reviews and super-swift handling!

Cross-species cloning in ants 🐜 These two males belong to different species—but share the same mother. How? Why? To celebrate the print release of our last paper in this week’s @nature.com (issue 8084), here’s a thread summarizing the results. Why? Let’s dive in🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This work benefited from the support of the @erc.europa.eu grant RoyalMess, hosted by @cnrs.fr , @isemevol.bsky.social and @umontpellier.bsky.social. Article freely available here for more details: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just wrapped up an amazing visit at @isemevol.bsky.social with an EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant! Thanks to @embo.org and to fantastic team here for welcoming me. This let me start a new collaboration on a very exiting project, and it has been an incredible experience. Stay tuned for more updates!

Une nouvelle étude révèle que le covid long est associé à des perturbations du cycle menstruel, et inversement, ses symptômes s’aggravent juste avant et après les règles. Cette association bidirectionnelle pourrait être liée à une exacerbation de l’inflammation. Explications en GIF ⬇️

Scanning mussel morphology #MusselsAreCool. The attempts are not yet conclusive, but it's cool.

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

🎉 PAPER OUT ! Happy to see another chapter of my PhD out in #MBE ! The African pygmy mouse flips the script on sex determination. Its multiple sex and neo-sex chromosomes 🤯 shape brain transcriptomes and drive sexual polymorphism, reflecting new evolutionary trajectories for sex-linked regions.

🐜 Une nouvelle étude révèle un phénomène inédit dans le règne animal : certaines reines donnent naissance à des mâles d’une autre espèce. Ce mécanisme appelé « xénoparité » permet à leurs colonies de survivre. Explications avec des GIF de fourmis ⬇️

How is this possible? This ant can lay eggs of two different species, birthed by the same mother

A common type of ant in Europe breaks a fundamental rule in biology: its queens can produce male offspring that are a whole different species go.nature.com/4mOb5T9
