Happy for taking part in this meta analysis of several long-term data sets, including our great reed warblers. Many thanks to lead authors Viktoriia Radchuk et al.!

Some chromosomes may be predisposed to evolve in to sex chromosomes – new evidence from avian genomes in #ProcB ow.ly/9Gtl50xqovu @ElisaDierickx Bengt Hansson @Biology_LU #sexchromosomes

Today we ringed the first great reed warbler of the season in our long-term project at Lake Kvismaren. It’s a male now called 0V-45!

Maja Tarka is back as a researcher. She will work with questions on trade-offs between immunity and lifespan in combination with sexual conflicts, in great reed warblers. biologi.blogg.lu.se/maja-tarka-is-…

Looking forward to the second day of the Wild Genomics Meeting in Bielefeld, starting with talk by Craig Primmer @FishConGen. Thanks to Joe Hoffman and Peter Korsten for organising!

New postdoc: Janne Swaegers. Together with Bengt Hansson she will study the factors that lead to genomic divergence between closely related and hybridizing damselfly species of the Ischnura genus. biologi.blogg.lu.se/janne-swaegers…
