New Evolution Digest out! 🎉 Does balancing selection maintain fitness variance? Yes, when drift and environmental fluctuations are in play! I discuss why this matters for plant adaptation to climate change. 🌱🌡️ doi.org/10.1093/evol... @sse-evolution.bsky.social @journal-evo.bsky.social

Our latest issue features a Q&A with Noni Franklin-Tong, who studied self-incompatibility in the field poppy at the University of Birmingham, where she is now Emeritus Professor of Plant Cell Biology. Find out why she began studying biology here: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Carlson et al. build a mathematical model considering how genotype-by-environment interactions can maintain variation and parametrize their model to test its applicability to real mutualisms. Read now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Thanks everyone for attending the hack-a-thon!

🔥 New paper from my PhD out in @commsbio.nature.com 🔥 🌱 How do seed traits shape plants life? 🧬 We show the link between the genetic architecture of adaptation in seed traits, climate and pollinator communities in the wild plant Brassica incana. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

My first solo author paper is now available in early view at Methods in Ecology and Evolution! I develop a covariance reaction norm (CRN) model for estimating continuous, multivariate, and nonlinear environmental effects on G and P matrices. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Thank you to our brilliant delegates, mentors, speakers, the organising committee and our hosts at the University of Birmingham for making New Phytologist next generation scientists 2025 a great success!

Truly grateful for the opportunity to attend the New Phytologist next generation scientists symposium at @unibirmingham.bsky.social An inspiring day filled with brilliant people and great science! #npnextgen @newphyt.bsky.social

New Phytologist next generation scientists 2025 starts very soon - at 13:30 BST (UTC+1)! Join in for free online via the livestream: www.newphytologist.org/nextgenevent... #PlantScience #Botany

Thanks to everyone for a fantastic virtual meeting! Shout out to the speakers, attendees, moderators and volunteers for helping make this a successful event. #Evol2025 @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social

The program for Evolution 2025 is now live! Talk schedules for both the virtual and in-person meetings can be found here: www.xcdsystem.com/evolution/pr... @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social #Evol2025

My NSF PRFB on the genetics of female polymorphism in hummingbirds was terminated yesterday. I don't have much to say, I'm just sad. We've discovered so much, and could have gone so much further. If anyone else is in the same boat, esp postdocs, please reach out, it would be good to connect.

Registration for Evolution 2025 is now open! Come join us virtually from May 29-30, and/or in-person in Athens, GA from June 20-24. @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social #Evol2025 www.evolutionmeetings.org/registration...

2025 starts with a methodology publication by Ștefan et al. on Utilising affordable smartphones and open-source time-lapse photography for pollinator image collection and annotation - Happy new year! doi.org/10.26786/192...

Great talks, brilliant researchers and amazing people! So thankful to have been part of this! #BES2024 Can’t wait to see you in Edinburgh! @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

New paper from my PhD thesis finally out! 🚨
