In my case, it all changed with a Marie Curie MC fellowship. I know there is not much time left to apply but if you want to come to the sunny Portugal, near Porto, to work on Littorina inversions (adaptation, sex chromosome evolution, speciation),contact me ruifaria@cibio.up.pt to try out for a MC

Montenegro pode ser Sócrates 2009 - quem tem ética passa fome
Um primeiro-ministro cuja ética já causava muitas dúvidas foi reeleito perante a anomia do seu partido e do eleitorado. Muitos do que falam de “lama” no caso Montenegro já usavam a palavra em 2009.

Dynamics of a supergene. A study of the BC supergene in wing color morphs of the African monarch #butterfly by @rishidekayne.bsky.social &co reveals dynamic evolution of #supergene haplotypes, fueled by incomplete recombination suppression 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3DiFhnL
Top: Topology weightings across chr15 showing how the karamu haplotype is related to the klugii and orientis haplotypes. Upper panel shows three possible rooted genealogical topologies. Second panel shows weights for each topology along the chromosome, smoothed with a 20 kb span. Arrows above the plot indicate the locations of inversions. Third panel shows unsmoothed topology weightings across a 1.5 Mb region corresponding to Inversion 2. Bottom: Ancestry painting across a 100 kb region within Inversion 2, showing ancestry tracts for two homozygous karamu individuals compared to two representative individuals homozygous for the orientis and klugii haplotypes. Coding regions are indicated below the plot, with the candidate gene for background colouration yellow indicated. Green triangles represent the top 10 SNPs for background colour in our GWAS. There is evidence for recombination throughout the supergene region, and specifically in the vicinity of yellow, consistent with the hypothesis that orientis ancestry at this locus (i.e., the B allele) is associated with darker colouration in karamu individuals.

Com a crise que temos no sector imobiliário, parece-me eticamente degradante que muita gente do nosso governo tenha exactamente um negócio nesse sector e lucre com isso. Não resolvem os problemas como aliás contribuem para a subida do preço das casas e ganham com isso.

Short insertions and deletions are abundant but are they useful markers in genome scans for divergent selection? Hybrid zones in Littorina suggest they can add to information from SNPs, despite stronger purifying selection: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... Perini, Butlin and @anjamwestram.bsky.social

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰
A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.
