Today Mattias Siljestam gives his half time seminar titled "mathematical models of allelic diversification" Animal Ecology Uppsala

Ahnesjö et al. just published "Considering Gender-Biased Assumptions in Evolutionary Biology", including a set of guidelines! Give it a read! Link: link.springer.com/article/10.100… #SystBioPaper #Gender #science

Check out our new preprint (Siljestam & Martinossi-Allibert) predicting that #anisogamy can lead to competition in either sex: The evolution of anisogamy does not always lead to male competition biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Males compete more often for mating than females, which is thought to stem from gamete size differences. In this study, Siljestam & Martinossi-Allibert challenge this by modelling the early evolution of competition traits in males and females. Read now! journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…

Happy to see this collaboration with Katja Kasimatis and Eddie Ho out Royal Society Publishing. Thanks to Arvid Ågren, Locke Rowe and Göran Arnqvist for the invitation to contribute to this special issue on the Resolution of Evolutionary Conflicts. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10… Brief 🧵

Interested in how life cycle complexity impact evolutionary diversification in different ecological settings? That's the topic of my talk, at 14:00 in Kerstinsalen. #NordicOikos2024

Dr Siljestam in the house—huge congratulations to Mattias Siljestam for successfully defending his thesis last Friday! 🥳🥂 Great work and very interesting discussion with the opponent Dr Eva Kisdi & the committee!

Check out our preprint. We investigated the development of style deflection and symmetry breaking in a species with mirror-image flowers with a highly multidisciplinary approach - combining biomechanical modelling, field ecology, genetics, cell biology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
