Starting July 5, #PrincetonU professor Shane Campbell-Staton, Ph.D. hosts a six-part science and travel show on PBS, "Human Footprint." The show explores how people have transformed the planet. bit.ly/3pA9J5S

Curious about short-term dynamics of natural selection? Wondering how they differ from long-term ones? Our article with Olivier Tenaillon is out now! PNASNews pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107… A quick thread 🧵

Preprint of my postdoctoral work with the #MOILAB Moi Expósito-Alonso (#MOILAB) is out! We describe a natural selection conflict between traits that enable populations to escape stress by accelerating phenology vs avoiding the stress by increasing water use efficiency biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Incredibly high temporal resolution of adaptation in field conditions!

A few excellent recent papers on important and often misunderstood population parameters in genetics. A short 🧵:

New preprint. Positive selection + gene conversion = "soft" sweeps, because the selected allele gets copied onto new genetic backgrounds during the sweep. Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/2)

#POSTDOC POSITION on the interactions between flies, their microbiome and their environment. 2+ years If you have a PhD in #evolution, #ecology or #microbiology, enjoy #insect #experiments and could join in the coming months, I invite you to apply: t.ly/2y6Nz

Awesome project in a beautiful place with some great scientists!

Roses are red Peas are green Not everything is Mendelian Stop asking for the causal gene #AcademicValentine

We're hoping to have a broad ranging discussion about the factors that influence predictability - including eco-evolutionary dynamics, population genetics, and landscape genomics.

Pleased to announce that @SuseJohnston and I will be hosting a symposium at Evolution Meetings #evol2024: "Recombination Rate Variation: Causes, Consequences, and Evolution". All are free to apply, see evolutionmeetings.org for details! Please share/RT.

🚨 Attention bee folks and environmentalists! 🐝 Breaking Ground: New Insights on Pesticide Risks to Wild Bees, out today in Conservation Letters and OPEN access.

I am super excited to share the first paper out of my PhD! Here, we chose D. melanogaster pigmentation as a model phenotype to study the nature and repeatability of complex trait evolution in the field . . .🧵 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Amir Gabidulin and Seth Rudman present a package, Machine Learning Data Acquisition for Assessing Population Phenotypes, for collecting a variety of #Drosophila phenotypic data at scale in a reproducible manner. Learn more in #G3journal: buff.ly/N45swb6
