Even more evidence that developmental bias is correlated with the pattern of (macro)evolution. It is no more questionable that this is a genuine biological pattern. Now it's time to explain. How exciting! www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Evolution of developmental bias explains divergent patterns of phenotypic evolution in two nematode clades | PNAS
Rates of phenotypic evolution vary across traits, and these evolutionary patterns themselves evolve. Understanding how development contributes to s...

Using a dataset of wing variation in Drosophila flies, the authors demonstrate that micro- and macroevolution align across levels and they propose multi-directional causal paths to explain the pattern, contributing to the development of a unified theory of evolution. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Now online ‪Communications Biology!‬ We showed that variation aligns across biological levels. We proposed that #macroevolution mould #developmentalbias with a cascading effect on variation. #Microevolution, then, may be a result—not a cause of—macroevolution. nature.com/articles/s42...

4 years ago, @anjaligupta.bsky.social spent a summer in Lund and collected amazing data of #damselflies. Now, the data/results are published doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... @jevbio.bsky.social ky.social. My highlight: we proposed a way to relate present-day selection #microevolution with #macroevolution.

PLEASE REPOST! We’re hiring 5 Project assistants/Field assistants for a population study of damselflies with me and @EvolOdonata.ecoevo.social.ap.brid.gy as PIs. Besides research and field work experience, a beautiful Swedish summer awaits! DM me, should you have any questions.

A nice paper @asn-amnat.bsky.social reports that the proxy for net selection and local estimate of selection mismatch. I disagree with their view that local estimates should be used to infer #macroevolution. I think it's the opposite. Nice work, nonetheless. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Pretty excited about this one, where we studied how a fluctuating environment and evolution of plasticity affect character displacement between competing species. Most unexpected result: character displacement can exist for plasticity itself, but it is often convergent rather than divergent.
