Catch Maxence Brault's talk at Symposium 04 to learn more about how to use FAIR principles in population genetics, a topic he has also approached in the recent pie recipe paper in GBE. 📋 Symposium 04 🗓️ June 29, 3:50 pm Read the paper here 👉 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag103 #SMBE2026 #societyjournal

A Recipe for a Good π. How to Properly Estimate Population Genetics Summary Statistics and Why we Should Systematically Report Them

Abstract. Many long-standing questions in population genomics can now be addressed through comparative analyses and by leveraging the vast amount of genomi

Nicolas Galtier @nicolasgaltier.bsky.social is presenting the hidden costs of the current publishing system and the DAFNEE initiative, which includes a list of more ethical journals #SMBE2026

Researchers in #EvolutionaryBiology & #Ecology wanting to do the right thing? @nicolasgaltier.bsky.social at #SMBE2026 talking about DAFNEE, a database of >600 #ecoevo #evoeco academia-friendly journals for "responsible publishing" - @plos.org seems to do OK here...!

For my next de-extinction project I'm eyeing the kraken. Anyone want to get suckered?

Screaming to the abyss: #ColossalBio did not resurrect the dire wolf and they're probably just going to make an antelope with methemoglobinemia to give it a bluish color. Their #DeExtinction #DisInformation campaign is just a pyramid scheme because #ExtinctionIsForever 🧪

Our lab is hiring a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in bioinformatics, evolutionary genomics and single-cell data analyses, to explore the evolution of reproductive organs across fishes. We are located in Rennes, France (INRAE-LPGP). For more details: florentmuratwebpage.wordpress.com

Breaking the species barrier: recurrent genomic introgressions from very distant lineages in a ciliate https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.20.707023v1

Up to what degree of interspecific genetic distance is it possible to form viable and fertile hybrids? A strange species of paramecium breaks the record: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Réflexions intéressantes dans ce post de @freakonometrics Thread de mes réflexions et actions. Contexte: je suis chercheur dans un domaine où la forme principale de publication est l'article de journal, pas la communication de conférence, et je suis directeur de département […]

Happy to highlight an essay I wrote together with @marcdemanuel.bsky.social, @natanaels.bsky.social and Anastasia Stolyarova, trying to think through what sets the mutation rate of a cell type in an animal species: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/n

What sets the mutation rate of a cell type in an animal species?

Germline mutation rates per generation are strikingly similar across animals, despite vast differences in life histories. Analogously, in at least one somatic cell type, mutation rates at the end of l...

Seeking a postdoc position? ​Balancing selection is a fascinating process: malaria resistance, self-incompatibility,etc. Yet, countless examples remain hidden in genomes! ​If this question intrigues you, the project led by Laure Segurel and Violaine Llaurens (Paris + Lyon) is perfect! urlr.me/Huj2De
