anton wakolbingers talk at mmee was perhaps the most violent thing ive witnessed this year . very engaging !

a kewt lil tripartite intxn to observe while waiting for the bus . two of the members dont appear to have any direct interaction , but i wonder if there's any indirect effects mediated by genetic correlations across traits of the host member ⋆˚꩜。

birs @ banff ist fantastisch 10/10 do recommend maria martignoni rebecca tyson jimmy garnier organized a truly awesome workshop on host-microbiome modelling ::)) www.birs.ca/events/2026/...

i was motivated by studying G-matrix evolution , and found drift tends to drive trait correlations to their extremes despite commonly held wisdom that drift merely tends to scale G-matrices !!
trait correlations evolving in response to drift . they wiggle a lot but ultimately veer off towards plus or minus one

We hope this paper provides a useful framework for the analysis of microbiome mediated traits, and to help uncover the interplay between microbiomes and long-term evolutionary processes!! All feedback is appreciated! :) 6/fin

Combining our framework with a simulation model of microbial inheritance, we found that the microbiome components that facilitate a response to selection depend on the shared life-history of host and microbe! 4/n

Microbiomes are crucial in shaping host traits and fitness. But how do they influence evolution? To tackle this, we introduce a scheme to partition host microbiomes into components relevant for predicting a response to selection ("lineal", "non-lineal", "external", see image) 2/n
