Couldn’t care less!? The great Alison Bell giving fascinating insights into white sticklebacks and their absence of parental care @stickleback2022! #sticklecon

So happy for the opportunity to give a talk and represent sticklelab at #ISBE2022! Barriers to migration lead to divergence in morphology and a plethora of behavioural traits in #stickleback populations with genetic underpinnings.

Hamilton’s force of selection before maturity: New preprint! Here I show that, rather than remaining constant, the force of selection generally increases before maturity for as long as offspring depend on their parent! A brief thread 1/9

We are pleased to announce our hybrid colloquium “Rethinking dispersal-related traits” on the 6th and 7th of December at Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, the Netherlands. Everyone is welcome to join in person or online, and rethink dispersal-related trait research with us.

Things I am organizing part 1: Register for the 1st NLSEB lab visit! We (the NLSEB junior board) have put together an exciting afternoon with talks & tours through the facilities at University of Groningen - come have a look at where the science happens...! Registration closes tonight.

We share our physiology with a fishy ancestor from the Cambrian explosion. The biological roots of pain are ancient and strongly conserved. Pain likely exists in far more forms of life than we tend to admit today. New episode out with Culum Brown 🇺🇦 youtu.be/LN6cgNu9QAM

Things I'm organizing part 3: The EvoBio Crash Course now has a mentoring program! So proud of this initiative and of how it is growing... 💚If you are interested in participating, please fill in the form - we look forward to welcoming you in the program!

Tune in for this fascinating discussion on bats .. flying mammals?!

New paper from the sticklelab ✨✨✨ We show that ecologically relevant setups can be crucial in uncovering differences in movement behaviours between populations! And one of our stickies even made the cover🤩 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… 1/4
