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

Biodiversity is everywhere — including near you! May 22 is the International Day for Biological Diversity, and from May 15–31 we're inviting you to celebrate by paying closer attention to your nearby nature. 🧵⤵️

Head's up SSE members: Virtual Evolution is next week! Join us for the SSE Presidential Symposium on May 21 for talks from SSE leaders and past presidents on sustaining research, supporting trainees, navigating funding uncertainty, and strengthening evolutionary biology. Pls RT!

SSE Presidential Symposium – Navigating Uncertainty: Individual Resilience and Collective Action in Evolutionary Biology May 21, 9:15 AM - 12:30 PM This year’s SSE Presidential Symposium will consist of two linked sessions designed to address the current climate of uncertainty surrounding federal funding and its implications for evolutionary biology. Together, these sessions are designed to move from personal grounding to community-level strategy, offering both immediate support and longer-term vision. Part 1: Recommendations for the Community Lightning Talks from Past SSE Presidents and Leaders in the Field May 21, 9:15 AM - 10:30 AM EDT This session will feature past SSE Presidents and leaders in the field, each giving a 5-minute lightning talk offering concrete, actionable ideas for maintaining research programs, supporting trainees, and strengthening the field during periods of funding constraint. The emphasis will be on practical recommendations at multiple scales—individual researchers, departments, universities, the society, and the field as a whole. There will be a 30-minute Q&A following the talks.

New paper out in Journal of Biogeography! We explore the heterogeneous evolutionary history of the rear edge of the North American plant Campanula americana doi.org/10.1111/jbi....

Heterogeneous Evolutionary History Defines the Rear Edge of the North American Herb Campanula americana

Aim Warmer range limits of species distributions offer a window into the ecological and evolutionary processes associated with long-term warming, as they often harbour relicts of refugial population...
