Can mothers prepare offspring for an unpredictable future? In C. elegans, adaptive maternal plasticity evolved when a maternal cue reliably predicted the offspring’s environment. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan... By Henrique Teotónio and @evoecodynamics.bsky.social

🚨Our new preprint is out! 🤩 🌟 Mutation rates vary widely across taxa, and decades of research have sought to explain why. ♀️♂️ Reproductive modes, and evolutionary shifts between them, could help explain some of this variation. ❓ So what does the evidence tell us? 👀 Read our preprint to find out!

Self-fertilization reverses the direction of selection on recombination https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.08.18.745567v1

New paper out @pnas.org: We explore why fly wings evolve along "lines of least resistance" and reconcile the "rate paradox" between population variation and divergence. Check out how a low dimensional model of selection on size explains it all: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

NEW REVIEW! Experimental tests on the evolution of sex and recombination and their adaptive significance Parée and Teotónio doi.org/10.1093/jeb/...

Experimental tests on the evolution of sex and recombination and their adaptive significance

Abstract. Sex and recombination generate genetic variation and facilitate adaptation by reducing selective interference, but they can also disrupt allelic
