Our latest work is out @natecoevo.nature.com! We revisit a classic: Are interactions more specialised towards the tropics?🌻🪰 Great to lead this with @robtrop.bsky.social, and our coauthors across the world! Grateful for their collaboration🥳, and hope to continue working with this amazing community!

New study published in @natecoevo.nature.com ! We assembled the largest global dataset of plant–pollinator networks to ask a simple question: do interactions become more specialised towards the tropics? doi.org/10.1038/s415... Study led by @saileesakhalkar.bsky.social and myself ☺️ 1/8

‼️Now published @evolletters.bsky.social Developmental differences between males and females alter the sex ratio. 🐥🧵 about this study 1/9

Evolution Letters@evolletters.bsky.social · 5d ago

Why do sex ratios become biased before adulthood? In ruffs, slower male development delays fledging and increases exposure to predators, shifting the sex ratio even before sexual maturity. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan... @chorlnev.bsky.social Image credit: T. R. Shankar Raman

In our new Communications Biology paper, we show that mutation retention is strongly strain-specific, and that structural variants can reshape how mutations remain linked and persist. nature.com/articles/s42... #ScienceTwitter #Research #NewPaper #Genomics #Evolution #OpenScience

New online! Moving beyond single traits to predict endotherms’ responses to climatic warming

Moving beyond single traits to predict endotherms’ responses to climatic warming

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 04 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00195-5Species have morphological, physiological and behavioural responses to temperature, which are typically used in isolation to infer phenotypic change under climate warming. In this Perspective, Symonds and colleagues argue for a multi-trait, integrative approach to better inform understanding of phenotypic changes in response to climatic warming.

New preprint just online, led by Fay Frost and me: comparing the thermal sensitivity of 300+ invertebrate life history traits shows that reproduction is more sensitive than lifespan to warming. Studies focusing on survival may be underestimating the effect of warming on animal populations 🔥🔥🔥

New pre-print led by the amazing @patricepottier.bsky.social - very little evidence for evolution of life history traits in response to warming, even in insects. Rapid adaptation is unlikely to mitigate the continuing impacts of climate change 🔥🔥🔥

Tim Janicke, Göran Arnqvist and colleagues have a new paper out discussing how biological sex is rooted in anisogamy (different gamete sizes) and how this relates to broader evolutionary patterns of sex-specific selection. You can read more about it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Biological Sex Is Binary and Rooted in Anisogamy

Drawing on empirical evidence and evolutionary theory, we argue that biological sex is most coherently defined as a binary classification of reproductive strategies rooted in anisogamy (the productio...
