JOB ALERT! 3-year postdoc position to work on plant robustness in an interdisciplinary project. Great for somebody with experience who can take a central role, coordinate experiments and co-supervise students, and contribute conceptually. @greenrobust.de @unituebingen.bsky.social Please re-post.

🚨Job alert 🚨 I am looking for a PhD student to join our DEMOCAST team (globalchangeeco.com/jobs). The general project is about ecological forecasting, but there is lots of flexibility to develop the thesis. We are at @eccb26leiden.bsky.social this week if anyone is interested and wants to chat.

New paper with the brilliant @ewanflintham.bsky.social How fast does recombination suppression evolve among sex chromosomes? We show that even weak sexual antagonism (so hard to detect) makes this fast, often via inversions fixing on X/Z depending on mating system: doi.org/10.1093/evle...

Applications now open for the UNIL Summer School on Modelling for Evolutionary Biology (31 Aug–5 Sep 2026, Lausanne)! For PhD & postdocs interested in formal approaches to evolutionary ecology (incl. social evo, life-history, species interactions). Scholarships available, Pls RP! shorturl.at/fo1GA

Many organisms, including humans, reshape their environments in ways that influence the conditions faced by future generations. We ask whether this can favour biological variation with @irisprigent.bsky.social in our new paper. Thanks to @dee-unil.bsky.social @snsf.ch www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

V happy to share new paper led by @schmidmax.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1111/ele.... We show that plastic germination timing not only buffers environmental fluctuations (storage effect) but also promotes divergence, temporal assortative mating and thus ecological speciation. Thx @dee-unil.bsky.social

Abstract. Many species experience heterogeneous environments and adapt genetically to local conditions. The extent of such local adaptation depends on a ba
