With #eseb2025 coming to a close, it is time to start making plans for 2026. Interested in the interface of evolution 🧬 and ecology 🌳? Come to our #ExE conference hosted by @uniexecec.bsky.social in beautiful #Cornwall. Leave your email address at tinyurl.com/EvolxEcol to join our mailing list!
I need help evo folk... Do we have a name for selection on phenotypes that - across populations of a species - stops them diverging phenotypically (i.e. opposes divergence by drift, makes Qst<Fst). Stops divergence rather than causes convergence, sort of pop-level 'stabilising' process?
📣 New PhD position on flycatchers with @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social — spread the word! Combine bioinformatics, long-term datasets and field work to explore climate adaptation and speciation in the lovely flycatchers. Join us in Uppsala, Sweden! Apply by Mar 18: www.uu.se/en/about-uu/... #ecoevojob
Can't wait to welcome @englishse.bsky.social to our @uniexecec.bsky.social seminar series in March!
THRU ZIM@thruzim.bsky.social · last yr.Yesterday at THRU-ZIM, @englishse.bsky.social shared fascinating insights on how stress during pregnancy affects both mothers and offspring, drawing from evolutionary biology. The talk explored heatwaves, maternal susceptibility, and long-term impacts on child health. #MaternalHealth
No job ad yet, but I'll be hiring a postdoc at Purdue in population genetics/quantitative genetics/genomics in plants. DM if you have relevant experience and are potentially interested.
