Check out the gorgeous cover of our new issue! In the cover article @quentinevo.bsky.social and colleagues show that pleiotropy in neural crest cells can generate contrasting patterns of skull evolution, enabling rapid evolution of a syndrome. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Image credit Q Horta-Lacueva

New paper out! 🐟 We show that premating barriers are asymetrical between Arctic charr morph despite little gene flow, suggesting that hybrid unviability may evolve very early during speciation academic.oup.com/evolinnean/a...

Recently published #AmniotaLabCollab!  How does development shape evolution? Using 3D skull data, this study shows that neural crest cells drive rapid skull changes within species of lizards.

🧪 New paper out! Growing up, wall lizards undergo a UV-visible “awkward phase” (who doesn’t?) that we can’t see—but they can. These ontogenetic color changes may mediate juvenile–adult interactions by delaying the onset of adult social signals. doi.org/10.1002/jez.... #colsci #lizard #ontogeny

Cryptic Ontogenetic Changes in the Ventral Coloration of a Color Polymorphic Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis)
Wall lizards' ventral coloration undergoes cryptic ontogenetic color changes invisible without UV vision. We tracked wall lizards from hatching to one year of age. Spectrophotometry and visual modeli...
