Do we really understand how complex systems evolve? Based on experimental evolution in stable vs fluctuating temperature conditions, we show that adaptive mutations in the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici are (i) massively pleiotropic, and (ii) opposed to the phenotypic plasticity.

We were all very sad to learn the death of Pierre Capy. Pierre was a professor at University Paris Saclay, in the 1990s, he started a group working on the evolutionary genomics of transposable elements; this group is still very active today. He was a great teacher, mentor, and colleague.

Happy to hare that the preprint I was advertising below has been published by the Journal of Evolutionary Biology: academic.oup.com/jeb/advance-... Thanks @jevbio.bsky.social for supporting responsible publishing!

Have you recently read about a particular field in depth? Perhaps you have just finished your PhD thesis? @jevbio.bsky.social is seeking Review Articles! Find out more about Reviews and Target Reviews at JEB here: academic.oup.com/jeb/pages/re...

Very proud to see this work highlighted by the journal! Publishing in Evolution has always meant something special to me. Congrats to the first author Sylvain Pouzet who found the energy to keep on working on his master project during his PhD.

Come and join our team! A 2-year postdoc position is available in our "Genome Evolution" department at Univ Paris Saclay. We want to play with phylogenetic models accounting for horizontal transfers of transposable elements. Application& details on the official portal: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

Ethical scientific journals and where to find them....here is DAFNEE, a #database of non-profit journals in #Ecology and #Evolution #EvoBio, to choose an ethical place where to publish your next articles! (1/2) dafnee.isem-evolution.fr 🧪 #science

Our paper on evolution of plasticity and character displacement in a fluctuating environment is now published as early view in Evolution. Check it out if you're interested in eco-evolutionary dynamics, coevolution... and plasticity of course! academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...

Very glad to see the second chapter of my PhD published in JEB and feel honored that it has been picked as this month's issue "Editor's choice" and cover image! It's been a long and important team effort leading up to these results!

Very happy to announce the publication of our latest work by my former student Sylvain Pouzet in @journal-evo.bsky.social: "Gene network topology drives the mutational landscape of gene expression". doi.org/10.1093/evol... #GeneRegulatoryNetworks #PopulationGenetics #EvolutionarySystemsBiology

Why publish in JEB? ✅ Society-owned and not-for-profit model ✅ Dedicated submission support - in-house Managing Editor ✅ Range of article types ✅ Modern Open Science policies - our own Data Editor ✅ Large editorial board with wide-range of expertise #societyjournal @eseb.bsky.social

Several thousand people today at #standupforscience2025 in Paris.

Wow. This is sooo good. Echoing @urbanevol.bsky.social this user’s manual for Ne should be required reading for popgen and conservation genetics folks. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Happy to announce that I have joined the editorial board of the Journal of Evolutionary Biology @jevbio.bsky.social as an Associate Editor. Hope to contribute as much as I can to the journal and to @eseb.bsky.social .

SpringerNature keeps on creating new outlet after new outlet... Seems like nothing can stop them. Just like that joke of a guy putting coins into the soda vending machine: "So long as I'm winning, I'm playing"... But who pays? We researchers are the fools and we seem to like it.
