I'm also handling a deeply cursed manuscript where three different reviewers agreed to review, ask for an extension, and then completely ghost. Please don't ghost editors, it makes us sad. If you can't review a paper anymore, please just tell us.

We refine & extend the Y-model heuristic (“mean invariance” hypothesis) to explain why resource limitation reveals tradeoffs + suggestions for what empiricists should measure (hint: it’s not average resource availability in a population, or solely variation in acquisition-allocation). Now in JEB

Influence of the resource acquisition–allocation Y-model’s parameters on the detection of phenotypic trade-offs

Abstract. Phenotypic trade-offs, predicted to occur due to resource limitation, are not commonly detected. For this, the Y-model provides a powerful heuris

New study from my lab! Led by prior student Sasha Bishop, along w/ co-author @johnstinchcombe.bsky.social 🌸 We performed a resurrection study on morning glory and found that within 9 years, adaptive potential declined by 96%

A resurrection experiment reveals reduced adaptive potential in a common agricultural weed

Adaptive evolution is essential for populations facing rapid anthropogenic change, yet realized evolutionary responses often fall short of expectations. Us

So very proud of @rileymcorcoran.bsky.social for publishing her beautiful masters thesis work!! @official-smbe.bsky.social academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-.... Repeated positive selection in landlocked alewives is rare, but balancing selection acts on a set of genes from a single gene family.

Multiple modes of selection underlie repeated and human-mediated adaptation in a formerly migratory fish

Scientific journal editor here: If you're invited to peer review an article and you can't do it, please just click "no." That tells me "this person can't do it, I should invite someone else." Otherwise the system waits 3 weeks to tell me that you didn't respond and I should invite someone else.

🔥 Hot off the press 🔥 Who can take the heat? 🐝 Published in Nature Communications we show that native bees can evolve greater tolerance to heat. But how heat tolerance evolves depends on the different nesting behaviours bees have. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In our new paper in Movement Ecology, however, we find that stopover site fidelity by Whimbrel is associated with high flexibility in their local-scale habitat use.
