Ready to share this preprint about the basis of a shift from egg-laying to live-birth in Littorina. We find evidence for live-bearer specific sweeps at many loci, overlapping with genes that are differential expressed btwn reproductive systems. pls share! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Starting over with our #popgen #webinar series, opening with our talented senior #PhD student Clara Groot Crego - sign up for seminar alerts and tune in for "Disentangling the evolutionary drivers of an adaptive radiation in #Tillandsia (Bromeliaceae)". forms.gle/N2mZ2QCdyzLFsV…

Having a fun and inspiring time at the yearly #popgen #retreat with cool talks and results by our #PhD students at #Altaussee. #popgenpower

BREAKING NEWS The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPeacePrize to Narges Mohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all. #NobelPrize

Super excited to have published my first paper in Genetics! 😀🧬 If you want to know more about the impact of paramutations on the invasion dynamics of transposable elements, keep reading the thread🧵 A massive thank you to my PI Robert Kofler! academic.oup.com/genetics/artic…

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and hospitality, Giulia Lin. Sharing my research with your group was truly a pleasure. Grateful for the engaging discussions and the wonderful experience! Special thanks to Anja Westram for providing this opportunity.

Proud to present #Sniffles V2, a fast and accurate SV caller for #LongReads that not only call germline SV, but also low-frequency/somatic variants.

How did live birth evolve? This is what our (well, mainly Sean Stankowski's) new paper explores, of course using Littorina snails as a model: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🪺🐚🧬Happy to have been part of this project with many great collaborators.

We're deeply saddened by professor Daniel Dennett's passing. We recently had the privilege of interviewing Dennett for our Legends series. It is with heavy hearts we share his video to further spread his wisdom and legacy 🖤

Looking for a #PhDposition in #EvolutionaryBiology? Then consider applying to this position: mrborges23.github.io/mypage/positio… The project aims to develop phylogenetic methods to help us assess the prevalence and impact of gene flow during species divergence from phylogenomic data.

Welcome to the WinkleWatch project! Heading to the beach this summer? Got a phone and a spare few minutes? Want to contribute to real science? Join WinkleWatch 🏖️

Snail scientists across the globe are working hard to answer this question, but what do you think? Check out the link in our bio to see how you can get involved! 🌈🐚

If you 1. are near a shore 2. like snails 🐚(who doesn't??) 3. like colours ⬛️🟩🟪🟫🟥🟧🟨⬜️ join our #CommunityScience project & help us find out why sea snails are so colourful! And please retweet! If not, just retweet ;) #CitizenScience #Evolution #Nature

Took me more than four months to get this visa. The application process is so slow and stressful. It must be horrible for those who tried and have been waiting for six months and never got it 🤦‍♂️

Excited to be at #Evolution2024 Evolution Meetings. Come check out my poster today (B16, session 1) on transposable elements and adaptive radiation of New Caledonian persimmon trees #Diospyros #Evol2024

LTR elements in New Caledonian persimmons’ adaptive radiation show a similar evolutionary history as SNPs with higher intra-specific variation #Evol2024

All the finalists’ presentations and research were fantastic. Never thought I would win this SSB premier award. I am truly honored. It really means a lot. I had to grow and sell catfish to get my first computer. It took a ton of them to get a $500 DIY-built PC in 2007. #Evol2024
