Happy to share this preprint of one of my PhD chapters with @cbank.bsky.social and @spei.bsky.social! We use a population genetics model and find the conditions under which hybrid incompatibilities can be maintained in an isolated population when BDMI loci are overdominant. 1/3

The @cbank.bsky.social lab is going 🚄 to #MMEE2026 in Cork next week! @ayalopjulio.bsky.social will present Thursday afternoon on hybrid incompatibilities, and @lorhab.bsky.social will present Wednesday afternoon on the repeatability of adaptation (1/3)

Let biological sex be multifaceted, as all biology is. And when you need to be precise in scientific research, be precise. Say ‘gametic sex’ or ‘chromosomal sex’ or ‘anatomical sex’, or whatever is appropriate to your own work.

Check out my first PhD paper, a model investigating life-history trade-offs and the evolution of sex differences in longevity, just out in @natcomms.nature.com! doi.org/10.1038/s414... Big thanks to Xiang-Yi Li Richter and @lottedevries.bsky.social!

Asymmetric life-history trade-offs shape sex-biased longevity patterns - Nature Communications
Males and females often live different lengths of time, but why remains unclear. Here, the authors present a theoretical model showing that trade-offs between survival and reproduction, together with ...

In July, we will teach the 3rd biodiversity genomics course in Latin America, this time in Bogotá, following the COLEVOL meeting. We invite applications from students, postdocs and PIs from Latin America interested in learning how to analyse genomic data. biodiversitygenomicslatam.weebly.com

Check out our newest preprint! 📝 We find that adaptation on coevolutionary fitness landscapes is highly repeatable, but landscape-specific, and intergenomic epistasis creates coevolutionary fitness load for interacting species due to frequent fitness trade-offs 🏋️

Check out the first paper of my PhD! Here, we highlight recent work and the need for models that account for the —growing— empirical evidence of complex hybrid incompatibilities, relaxing the assumptions of classical models
