Very cool!!

Neelam Porwal @neelamporwal.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Thank you, @eseb.bsky.social. Honoured and grateful to my team for supporting me throughout my recovery, especially @jacek-radwan.bsky.social @robknell.bsky.social @ecoevoenviro.bsky.social and to my parents for challenging cultural norms. To a future where every girl has equal access to education.

That's not excessive. THIS is excessive:

New pre-print led by the amazing @patricepottier.bsky.social - very little evidence for evolution of life history traits in response to warming, even in insects. Rapid adaptation is unlikely to mitigate the continuing impacts of climate change 🔥🔥🔥

Females hyenas have greter reproductive inequality due to social inheritance of privilege! The study I presented at @isbe2026.bsky.social and done with the @hyenaproject.bsky.social came out finally!! Check it out! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

really enjoying this figure on sexual dimorphism in hopliine beetles pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

males are the one on the left in each pair

Our new paper is out in @nature.com! We uncovered how a naked mole-rat queen 👑 controls an entire colony: a natural contraceptive scent that suppresses reproduction in other females! A remarkable mammalian parallel to bees and ants! 🐝🐜 @garyrlewin.bsky.social youtu.be/enfv3zJrWKM?...

Inaugural lecture! I will be talking about my research on how mating systems alter evolutionary processes and why this is important. This is a public lecture and should be fun and accessible to everyone: all welcome. Links in next post. 🧪

Poster for Inaugural lecture entitled Love in the time of climate change: how mating systems can control evolution. Has a picture of two black-browed albatrosses looking lovingly at each other.

24hrs straight under the microscope and many many hours of counting later. Cheers to Neha for leading this study and all the people. Happy to have been a part of this. Still traumatised by the deutonymphs though.

The second chapter of my PhD is now available as a preprint 🦚. A lot of it came together during long days in front of my blue screen, and weekends spent watching puffins in the UK. With an amazing team @robknell.bsky.social @jacek-radwan.bsky.social Jonathan Parrett and @ecologycoder.bsky.social

1) New manuscript preprint up: we model adaptation to changing environments under mating systems ranging from random mating via mutual choice monogamy through to female choice polygyny. 🧪https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.30.715329v1

@neelamporwal.bsky.social ‘s talk about estimating extinction risks under sexual selection using simulations, at PEC2025 won the first prize for the best student talk. So, should animals swipe right for survival?🐧

We are having fantastic time presenting and discussing our work at #ESEB2025 - Neelam Porwal answered a question "How sexual selection shapes small populations demography under recurrent heatwaves"

We explore evolution’s thrilling battles, between and within sexes and, hosts vs. parasites. Our focus? Conservation genomics, experimental evolution, adaptation, and mutation dynamics, with special attention to sexual selection 🦌 in mites and host-pathogen coevolution in Borrelia and bank voles 🐀.
