Whew! After 160 generations of experimental sexual selection we show consistent SNP differences between polyandrous and monogamous lines. These were concentrated in islands of divergence, particularly on the X chromosome (1)

I made a (hopefully) pretty accessible guide to Linear Mixed Effects Models in R using the lmer package (with background stats intro & coding examples). Feel free to use & distribute! #Rstats github.com/RoseannaGG/Lin…

The German Zoological Society (DZG) hosts its yearly meeting online August 30 - September 3, 2021 Registration is open and not too costly. Deadline June 30st: dzg-meeting.de/en/welcome/

Just noticed that it is our first anniversary on Twitter. Let's have a (digital) celebration. Register your abstract for the annual international meeting now! dzg-meeting.de/en/registratio…

📢Luke Holman is our Commissioning Editor - if you have an idea for a Review or a Special Issue that you'd like to contribute to Journal of Evolutionary Biology please get in touch with him for more information!

**Funded PhD and PostDoc offer** NC3 We offer exciting projects to study the ecological and evolutionary consequences of host-parasite interactions from the individual to the ecosystem level. See uni-muenster.de/Evolution/anim…

☁️89% of ESEB congress delegates worry about CO2 emissions from academic travel (survey in 2018). 🛤️Taking a train instead of flying to Prague may be a good opportunity to reduce emissions: Good connections from many European cities, + night train options. #Evolution 1/3

1/2: Can ectotherms handle the heat? Exploring the heat tolerance of "cold-blooded” animals, such as butterflies, frogs and fishes, UNSW researchers found these animals can barely adjust their tolerance during development and their embryos are vulnerable to temperature changes.
