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!

If you want to understand why-how behavioral phebotypes change from tadpoles to metamorphs along a lat gradient check this cool paper here!. Thanks to all co-authors who has participated in all life stages of the study! 😜 dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Amazing thread by @vdbijl.bsky.social about the story of this paper. And it is a beast of a paper, combining thousands of fish, computer-aided vision, convoluted neural nets, quantitative genetics, GWAS, sex chromosomes, genomics and sexual selection. There is something here for nearly everyone.

🚨 Super exited to see our paper on the inheritance and genetic basis of guppy color variation come out in @natecoevo.nature.com‬ rdcu.be/eugWV Guppy males have enormous variation in color patterns, with many combinations of ornamental spots and stripes. But where does all this variation come from?

📣📣📣 So pleased to see @vdbijl.bsky.social's stunning analysis of the inheritance and genetics of guppy color diversity out today @natecoevo.nature.com! Deep learning reveals the complex genetic architecture of male guppy colouration. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Recent studies have revealed unexpected Y chromosome diversity and suggest that the Y may play a big role in evolution. @vdbijl.bsky.social and I wrote this perspective for @evolletters.bsky.social with a few suggestions and requests. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan... Figs by www.jacelyndesigns.com

Just out at Nature E&E - @corrallopeza.bsky.social's tour de force! Functional convergence of genomic and transcriptomic genetic architecture underlying sociability. Heritability, GWAS and neuro-transcriptomics of collective behaviour, @ www.nature.com/articles/s41... w Niclas Kolm and many others.

Our study is out where we study associations between immune genes (MHC class II) and 16s microbial diversity in Rana arvalis. Great study and great team , @JacobHglund1 , @RodinPatrik, @sweediepetie , @Aka_RichterBoix , Jürg and Laurila doi.org/10.1111/mec....

Hidden labour is all over academia and open science. Let's change that! We published a paper with some suggestions, but what we're most excited about is to hear from you in the comments section at @plos.bsky.social website - go there and add your voice to the choir!
