@soniacelestini.bsky.social @lipanovaveronika.bsky.social J. Vlček & F. Kolář combined soil data with genomes of 76 populations of diploid–autotetraploid Arabidopsis arenosa to test adaptation to distinct soil types between ploidies. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf298 #evobio #molbio

Brilliant new paper by Jill Anderson and colleagues using 9 years of transplant experiments and integral projection models to predict the capacity of populations for adaptation and persistence under new climates in Boechera stricta. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

My preprint is finally out on bioRxiv! 🌿🧬 It’s the result of years of work and thinking about how whole-genome duplication shapes evolution. If you're into polyploidy and adaptation, have a look! ✨ #Polyploidy #EvolutionaryGenomics

Excited to share our new preprint on bioRxiv! 🚀 We explore the genomic basis of serpentine adaptation in two ploidies and species of Alyssum and reveal evolutionary convergence with Arabidopsis. Check it out! 🌿🔬 #evolution #genomics #arabidopsis #serpentine

Our new paper shows that plasticity that has evolved to deal with one stressful situation, can help plants to adapt rapidly to new stressful situations. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @meebangor.bsky.social @rbgkew.bsky.social @ukri.org @pnas.org

Gabriele's paper is out in PNAS! He found a large number of genes with repeated sweeps in multiple plant species. Most interestingly: they tend to be peripheral in co-expression networks (low pleiotropy), consistent with mig-sel theory!! @gabnocgenomics.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Preprint finally out! I show that eco-evo feedback can drive a tipping point where genetic drift overwhelms adaptation. This can result in a contraction of a species' range border or range fragmentation. Fragmentation is abrupt and arises readily under rapid temporal change. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Please circulate widely: We are hiring two Ass Prof tt at the Institute of #ecology and #evolution at @unibern.bsky.social in conservation biology; mathematical & computational ecology We are committed to diverse, inclusive and equitable leadership in research and education tinyurl.com/IEEjobs

Excited to see this paper out! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

On today's World Soil Day, we have a second look at ETH Professor Sebastian Dötterl's opinion on why #Ukraine's #Soil is so valuable and why its geopolitical importance will only increase. brnw.ch/21wPdeu
