The evolutionary ecology #ExE2026 conference in Cornwall had a very similar vibe to the American Society of Naturalists @asn-amnat.bsky.social stand alone meetings. It would be great to have more European participation in ASN and coordinate future meetings, maybe alternating sides of the Atlantic.

Day 2 of #ExE2026 ! Thank you to all our sponsor journals. I am proud to say ExE is sponsored strictly by society and non-profit journals! 👌📄 A huge thanks to our journal sponsors (see next post), who take their APC revenue and use it to support the sci communities like ExE ❤️ 1/2

The programme of the EVIM-NET Workshop at ExE 2026 is here! Attendance is free, so if you are from the UK, join us on July 3rd! The entire workshop programme is available here: buff.ly/a9vTj5b

A big THANK YOU to our sponsors for supporting #ExE2026 and the evolutionary ecology community! 👇👇👇

Sooo looking forward to this, not least because it’ll be where our Special Interest Group officially gets started. It’s going to be wonderful to bring our community together at its own dedicated conference. We’ve also got lots planned for the coming year to maintain that community…

And if you want to read more about the survival cost of reproduction in our own species 👩‍🍼, @euantheyoung.bsky.social's @nlseb.bsky.social 2025 Prize-winning 🏆 paper is a must-read. doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Mothers facing greater environmental adversity experience increased costs of reproduction

Mothers with more children during a famine had shorter lives, suggesting that harsh conditions increase costs of reproduction.
