📣🧬 Postdoc Alert🧬📣 We are hiring a 2+ year NERC-funded postdoc at Edinburgh Uni investigating causes and consequences of sex differences in recombination in house sparrows in Norway. Informal enquiries welcome at Susan.Johnston@ed.ac.uk 🙂 Details here: elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Super happy to see our paper out! Reference choice matters, especially if you work with species that has lots of chromosomal rearrangements 🧬🐟

A while back (maybe 3-4 years?) there was a paper on common misconceptions of the genetics of various traits. One of them was eye colour in humans. I have lost this reference and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone recognise what I mean?

Our paper is now published in GBE! We find that transposable elements (likely) facilitated several large chromosomal inversions in Atlantic cod. So proud of the work by our team! doi.org/10.1093/gbe/...

Chromosomal Inversions Mediated by Tandem Insertions of Transposable Elements

Abstract. Chromosomal inversions play a crucial role in evolution by influencing phenotypes through the linkage of coadapted alleles. While inversions have

#eseb2025 talks were great so far. Subjective ranking of the most common quotes: - theory and modeling: "with this very simple approach" - genomics: "using methodology you all know" - plenaries: "Nature/Science" in the bottom right of a slide - posters: "una cerveza por favor"

Surely one of the all-time best conference outreach activities: an evolution-inspired decorated street for Les Festes de Gràcia #ESEB2025

Also, I'm talking at #eseb2025 on the evolutionary history of a commensal species at 2 pm on Monday in S51-02. Come along to hear about how cool house sparrows are and all the exciting work from the sparrow team @melissahrowe.bsky.social @eriksroeed.bsky.social @ruthfawthrop.bsky.social

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies... 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551

Thrilled to share new work from @stochasnick examining how gene regulatory networks influence quantitative trait evolution! His forward-time simulations reveal fascinating dynamics in the genetic architecture of adaptation. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

The genetic architecture of polygenic adaptation under a network-derived trait

The genetic architecture of adaptation varies across species, populations, and traits. While existing models capture aspects like the number of loci, effect sizes, and allele frequencies, they often o...

Some years ago I wrote a simple R app to explore colors in HCL space. While it's clunky, it still is my preferred way of selecting colors, because it offers features other color selectors don't normally have. Today, thanks to shinylive, the app is available standalone. 🧵

Looking for someone to review a manuscript? Is it on avian urban-rural ecology/evolution, dietary adaptation, or dietary analysis using metabarcoding or stable isotope analysis? Then please send me a request. I am looking for an opportunity to review a manuscript with a PhD for training purposes.

My very first publication here and for a great reason 🎉 It was lovely to interact with @homerej.bsky.social during my time at the Technical University of Denmark. It is even better to see his article now out 🦪 🧬 📄

Hot off the press! Useful read in TREE on how we can meaningfully and consistently define human-commensalism in other species. Congrats to Ruth Fawthrop, @melissahrowe.bsky.social, @naturalselection.bsky.social, @markravinet.bsky.social, @pachecoevolbio.bsky.social et al!
