Thought-provoking commentary by @amyforsythe.bsky.social just dropped on our recent study of individual heterogeneity in life-history trajectories! Always exciting to see the conversation evolve. @marcofesta.bsky.social 📄 Read it here: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

I usually reserve this account for my personal views; but today I want to represent my position as President of @asn-amnat.bsky.social to post a message that will shortly go out to the membership of the American Society of Naturalists from the ASN Executive Council

Congrats to @jeffgroh.bsky.social et al on publication of "Ancient structural variants control sex-specific flowering time morphs in walnuts and hickories" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Science magazine front cover. Picture of a walnut in its opened shell. The text reads "All about timing. Mating type evolution in walnuts and pecans"

graphical abstract:
"In Juglans (top left) and Carya, two morphs show complementary temporal separation between male and female flowering (heterodichogamy). Mating types are controlled by two nonhomologous single-locus mechanisms that arose in the common ancestor of each genus, respectively. (Bottom left) Simplified schematic of a putative functional regulatory element at the Juglans locus. (Bottom right) Strong genotypic correlations across the Carya locus indicate a lack of recombination between two colinear haplotypes with similar gene content."

Years ago I remember reading a review paper that compared Breeder's Equation forecasts of evolutionary change, against observed changes, to evaluate accuracy of quantitative genetic predictions of selection response. I can't find it now... anyone know of a good comparison along these lines?

Friends don't let friends make bad graphs repo has been updated! Friends don't let friends use boxplot for binomial (bimodal) data. Is your box plot hiding something from you? #DataVisualization github.com/cxli233/Frie...

A figure comparing box plot and showing all data points.
Group1: normally distributed data.
Group2: bimodal data.
Group3: Data with 3 modes.

Recent studies have revealed unexpected Y chromosome diversity and suggest that the Y may play a big role in evolution. @vdbijl.bsky.social and I wrote this perspective for @evolletters.bsky.social with a few suggestions and requests. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan... Figs by www.jacelyndesigns.com
