Cover of the new issue of Evolution Letters @evolletters.bsky.social featuring our stickleback-tapeworm paper. academic.oup.com/evlett What happens to immunity and infection prevalence in the 50 years after a host invades a new location

Very happy to announce our latest paper examining the role of small omnivorous-detritivorous invasive fish. Extremely fruitful collaboration with 🇧🇷 colleagues 🧪 doi.org/10.1007/s105...

If I had read this in a science fiction book, I would have thought it was too far-fetched: Ants of different species share a mother. 😮https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-025-02807-0 🧪

Very pleased to announce our latest study on cryptic diversity within Monogenea lead by 🇧🇷 colleagues 🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Doctoral position on genomic basis of Fucus (brown algal) local adaptation - join our exciting #Fubluc team! Fully funded for 3.5 years & we also consider candidates with strong molecular or bioinformatic skillls but no marine / algal experience, see www.geomar.de/en/karriere/...

Horizon Europe budget to double, but €68B will remain in Competitiveness Fund 🧪 #AcademicSky sciencebusiness.net/news/plannin...

🌍🪱 Biological invasions shake ecosystems—and parasites play a key role. Our chapter dives into invasive parasites, their mechanisms (e.g. spillover, enemy release) & their impact on aquatic hosts. @davidwthieltges.bsky.social Rosa Jolma & Daki Diaz-Morales📘 doi.org/10.1007/978-... #Parasites

Excited to announce the publication of the 2nd chapter of Mar Llaberia-Robledillo's thesis in Mol Ecol! Countless hrs. of bioinformatics work paid-off: Inferred demografic history of parasites correlate with postglacial environmental changes. We are entering the age of parasite genomics! 🧪

Integrity has been at the core throughout my career. Well, that's explains why I'm a nobody, right? doi.org/10.1038/d415...

In an unconscionable decision, the Smithsonian Institute has decided to no longer support the Biodiversity Heritage Library from 1 Jan 2026. Please someone step up and take it over.

It's an incredible joy to see former mentees evolve into scientists who surpass me by far. There's no greater pride. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪

Congratulations to #IMPACT students Vilde Normann and Steinar Grüner on their successful MSc defenses!

Today is the last day to register for the SSB Mentorship Program! We're looking for a few more mentors to volunteer. Mentoring only takes one hour each month, and is a great way to support the next generation of biodiversity researchers! #evobio 🧪 @systbiol.bsky.social

In preparation for #evol2025, we’ll highlight one of our five Early Career Travel Awardees each day this week! In each highlight, you can find out more information about our awesome students and postdocs, as well as talk information so you can catch their presentations at in-person #evol2025 🧵

Please share! We need a few more folks (esp. mentors) to join the SSB Mentorship Program for 2025. Help the next generation of systematists take flight! Past mentors say: "really satisfying", "extremely gratifying", "optimism-inspiring", "just do it!" www.systbio.org/mentorship-p... #evobio 🧪

Prez-Elect and council election season may be over, but student rep elections are just around the corner! Get your application in by May 31. Details in the link.
