Finally out: Predicting adaptation to climate warming www.nature.com/articles/s41... We find that there are many genomic routes to heat-adaptation, but this can also make genomic data of limited value for prediction. A tour de force by @denovorego.bsky.social , with @stelkens.bsky.social.

New study led by Jussi Mäkinen out in PNAS! 🤩 🎉 Using several long-term datasets on species in Finland, we show that while most communities have become dominated by warm-affiliated species over time, this is paralleled by a *decrease in thermal diversity*. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

So excited for this paper by the Insect Loss RCN led by Chris Halsh! #insectloss @cbahlai.bsky.social academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Our latest paper revisits Haldane 1957 on speed limits to adaptation, the paper that triggered neutral theory. We clarify and then significantly extend the theory, and apply the resulting model to @mexpositoalonso.bsky.social's data doi.org/10.1093/gene... 1/14

Now seems a good time to mention that I haven't yet filled a postdoc position in phylogenetic methods. If you just lost your job, need something temporary, and know something about bioinformatics/statistics/evolution, talk to me.

Our Evolution of Evolvability work is finally* out! *technically it has been out for a bit, but all of ~this~ bullshit was happening www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Do your (often subjective) choices done during data analysis change their outcomes? Unfortunately and strikingly 🤯 yes! A stellar team of authors (the paper resembles some of CERN outputs in terms of authors number ;) clearly shows that biases may be severe! bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

A lack of genetic variation can constrain adaptation, and correlations between trait variability and divergence are testaments of that. But how do we interpret such correlations when they last over many many millions of years? New paper in @natureecoevo.bsky.social with Patrick Rohner. rdcu.be/d8YxG

I usually reserve this account for my personal views; but today I want to represent my position as President of @asn-amnat.bsky.social to post a message that will shortly go out to the membership of the American Society of Naturalists from the ASN Executive Council

🚨 New paper published in... Nature 😱 I never thought that I would write these words, but here is a Nature-paper that I contributed to. We found global loss in genetic diversity. But conservation strategies may maintain or increase genetic diversity. Full paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out this short blurb on our paper about the importance of genetic adaptation in insect pests 👇

Excited to report that Joy Bergelson (bergelsonlab.org) and I will be running a brand new GRC conference on the Function of Evolving Systems in the summer of 2026. The 2028 one will be chaired by Mikhail Tikhonov (physics.wustl.edu/people/mikha...) and @asanchezlab.bsky.social! Stay tuned!

Amazing how these people are suddenly experts in everything. Anyone who knows anything about the biology of aging realizes that doubling human lifespan is not going to be a matter of a few miracle drugs. This is complete and utter snake oil, and they sound increasingly desperate by the day.

Models of pest impact predict that climate warming will alter growth rates and distributions of insect pests. 🐞🌱🐞🌱🐞🌱🐞🌱🐞🌱🐞🌱🐞🌱 How do trait-specific evolutionary responses affect predictions? Have a look at our new paper rdcu.be/d6G2u in @naturecomms.bsky.social to find out. Short summary below.

Eco-evolutionary model showing that heterozygote advantage can explain the extraordinary diversity of immune genes! Our new paper (out in #eLife: doi.org/10.7554/eLif...) identifies the conditions under which heterozygote advantage can drive the evolution of such diversity, found in e.g. #MHC genes
