Additive genetic variance for fitness maintained by balancing selection url: academic.oup.com/evolut/artic...

A new preprint with Beatriz Vicoso, where we highlight that a common observation in molecular evolution—X chromosomes adapting faster than autosomes—doesn't quite add up. So we tested a new theory (www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...) in fruit flies, mice and humans...

@EvolOdonata Aspects of the Delph and Kelly paper sat on my desks for three years until I got John on board to coauthor it with me. And then my student Jay Goldberg and I realized that there was a natural experiment we could investigate (https://doi.org/10.1002/evl3.157). Nice review—maybe it […]

New paper published together with John Welch on hybrid fitness and how it depends on ploidy and # of distinct ancestries, incl some remarkable fits of data & theory 😶. Keen to hear any thoughts/comments/questions! doi.org/10.1093/gene... Thanks to the team @ Genetics for the smooth experience :)

Modestly, we decided to review a century's worth of theories of balancing selection :) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
