Grateful for receiving an European Research Council (ERC) StG to study phenotypic evolution across different timescales. Thanks to great colleagues who gave feedback on my proposal. I will soon be looking for a postdoc and two PhDs to join the project. CEES - Univ. of Oslo Universitetet i Oslo uio.no/english/about/…
Congratulations to our fellows Kjetil Lysne Voje and Arthur Porto! Their research on Bryozoa made it to the front page of NRK! nrk.no/viten/norsk-fo…
Today Josselin Clo gave a great talk with the title ' #Evolvability of predominantly selfing species: on the importance of residual allogamy, additivity and dominance' @CASOslo!
David Houle gave a great talk at @CASOslo today, with the title ' #Evolvability of sexual dimorphism under antagonistic and concordant selection'. New and interesting theory!
Thanks to @ArnaudLeRouzic for a great talk at @CASOslo today! The talk was about ' #Evolution of Canalization in Complex Genetic Architectures'.
Today we enjoyed a great talk and following discussion by Rachael Morgan (Rachael Morgan) on “ #Evolution of upper thermal tolerance in zebrafish” at @CASOslo.
Thanks to Geir H. Bolstad (Geir H. Bolstad) for a great talk on 'A two-locus epistatic system and the #evolution of sexual size dimorphism in Atlantic salmon' here at @CASOslo.
Thanks to Øystein H. Opedal (Øystein H. Opedal) for his great talk 'The #Evolvability of Flowers' and all the interesting discussions this week at @CASOslo.
Last week Jarrod Hadfield visited us at @CASOslo and gave two very interesting talks on the subject “Inheritance and Selection in Social Systems”. Part one on 'Social #Evolution ' and part two focusing on 'Genetic and Environmental Skew'.
Thanks to Fred Nijhout for his visit to @CASOslo. He gave two very interesting talks. One on 'Robustness and #Evolvability ' and the other on 'The Control of Polyphenic Development in Insects'.
Ecology, evolution and the fossil record: In my new paper in Evolution, I investigate if a diatom lineage follows evolutionary trait dynamics compatible with hypotheses for how the adaptive landscape may change when a population enters a new environment. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
We ended the fall at @CASOslo with a great talk by one of our group leaders, Christope Pélabon, on ' #Evolvability and Allometry - A special look at animal weapons'. Looking forward to the spring semester, Happy Holidays!
Thanks to Philipp Mitteröcker for his visit! Yesterday we enjoyed his talk on 'Geometries of #Evolvability ' at @CASOslo. Disclaimer: we verified that he didn't get attacked by the polar bear.
