🦠 Working on gut microbiomes and going to Behaviour 2027? 🦆 I’m looking for co-chairs and presenters to contribute to a symposium on how gut microbes affect behaviour, from lab models to wildlife. Interested in factors and pathways shaping microbiome-behaviour interactions? Please get in touch!

Levels of additive genetic variation vary substantially between species

Adaptive potential determines how populations respond to environmental change. This study compiles evolvability estimates from over 170 multicellular species, revealing substantial variation across th...

Great to see this study by @sam-deakin.bsky.social and Anita Michalak published in Evolutionary Applications. Using genomic data from >750 caribou and hierarchical structure analyses, we show that genetic clusters do not align with current conservation units in western Canada doi.org/10.1111/eva....

And if you want to read more about the survival cost of reproduction in our own species 👩‍🍼, @euantheyoung.bsky.social's @nlseb.bsky.social 2025 Prize-winning 🏆 paper is a must-read. doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Mothers facing greater environmental adversity experience increased costs of reproduction

Mothers with more children during a famine had shorter lives, suggesting that harsh conditions increase costs of reproduction.
