🚨 PhD position available ! 🚨 I am hiring a PhD student to work with me on the evolution of plant sexual systems 🌺 at @unifrbiology.bsky.social ! The position is funded for 4 years by @snsf.ch as part of my Ambizione fellowship. More info here: tinyurl.com/monoecy 🌱 Please RP and share widely ! 🌱

Interested in the molecular mechanisms and evolution of atypical reproductive modes ? Since 2025, we are running a (bi)-monthly online series. You can join us to watch or present! More information : tinyurl.com/EvoRepro Sign-up to our mailing list : go.unil.ch/QYYNa

Excited to announce the upcoming Jacques Monod Conference on the mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination (Sept 21–25, 2026): cjm.sb-roscoff.fr/en/conferenc... Organized by @laurarossevo.bsky.social and myself.

New paper with @vsudbrack.bsky.social. Using pop gen modelling, we show that partial selfing makes selection on tandem repeats more efficient, reducing the associated load across different scenarios. Thanks to @snsf.ch @dee-unil.bsky.social @fbm-unil.bsky.social ! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are stick insects unique in their ability to transition to parthenogenesis? Our new review in @journal-evo.bsky.social covers intraspecific and hybrid origins, cytological mechanisms, and co-occurence of female-only and sexual populations, with comparisons to other taxa. doi.org/10.1093/evol...
