Did you know that Evolution Letters now publishes reviews?! Our inaugural one is fantastic! Deep learning is opening new doors for evolutionary genomics, especially for nonmodel organisms with sparse or uncertain genomic data. doi.org/10.1093/evle...

Can species always evolve fast enough to keep up with environmental change? A resurrection experiment in morning glory shows genetic constraints can limit adaptation—even under strong selection. doi.org/10.1093/evle... @gbaucom.bsky.social @johnstinchcombe.bsky.social Image credit:Cbaile19 Wikimedia

Why do different butterfly species evolve the same shimmering blue wings? Morpho butterflies repeatedly converge on iridescence in sympatry, suggesting predators can drive the evolution of shared warning signals. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Image credit: Wikimedia

Does early-life stress shape ageing? A field experiment in a colonial marine Bryozoan shows stressed juveniles show lower lifetime fitness—but also surprisingly weaker senescence later in life. Image by D. Janiak at Wikimedia doi.org/10.1093/evle...

Here's the SSE Presidential Plenary I gave last month I reframe how we define a "weed," share lab research linking herbivory and herbicide resistance across two weed species, and show how the chemical mix in ag fields differentially shapes resistance evolution.
