New paper! We use rarely produced parthenogenetic males to examine what happens to dosage compensation when it is no longer needed. Surprisingly, we find dosage compensation is maintained in our parthenogenetic stick insects in the absence of selection! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The first many-analysts study in ecology is finally published! 🥳🙌 300+ coauthors and 5+ years, this was a massive effort by @elliotgould.bsky.social Hannah Fraser Tim Parker and co. Open access 👉 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
