Good morning #ESEB2025, check out my poster P03.008 and discuss about how fishy is fish DNA, demography analysis, massive inversions, ultra-long ONT sequencing for de novo assemblies, structural variation genotyping…. and everything!

How many convergent switches in Müllerian mimicry can be explained by parallel evolution at ivory and optix genes? Amazing work by Ben Chehida, Dasmahapatra, Meier et al.! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

There might be more seagrass species than you think - happy to share this fantastic collaboration with Xiaomei Zhang, @lei-yu.bsky.social and many others nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Pangenomes are not just for humans 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧, livestock 🐮🐷, and crops 🌾🌱 --- highlight yours by adding it below! #biodiversity #genomics onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

and another 5-yr (!) postdoctoral position at GEOMAR Kiel on advancing seagrass assisted evolution, see details and link to apply www.geomar.de/en/karriere/.... Omics and pop genetics knowledge required, seagrass and coastal ecology desirable. @geomarkiel.bsky.social DM me for inquiries

The GEOMAR seagrass team is hiring. Time to make coastal restoration long-term sustainable. A fully funded 4-yr PhD position on eelgrass seascape genomics in the Baltic Sea, further details see here www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... @geomarkiel.bsky.social DM me for inquiries

Imagine that you are a low-copy extra-chromosomal genetic elements invading a host cell. What’s your best strategy to survive? Check our new study of prokaryotic #plasmid for the answer! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... led by Johannes Effe with @iwangtoknow.bsky.social and more! (not on bsky)

New study from the Lab! Jinyang Liang assesses the possibility of inferring ancestral alleles (aka allele polarization) without outgroup sequence, using the ancestral recombination graph (ARG) alone. Here are some of our findings. (1/5)

7 PhD positions in Translational Evolutionary Research available @uni-kiel.de Application deadline is March 27, 2025 Please spread the word! www.kec.uni-kiel.de/news_events/...

Learned so much and had an amazing time in the beautiful town of Český Krumlov! Huge thanks to the incredible organizers and fantastic faculty team, and everyone for making this experience so special. Hope to see each other again soon! #wpsg2025 @wpsg.bsky.social

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/a...
