Sexual selection enhances survival and persistence of #dungbeetles in modified habitats SAFE Project SEARRP. Great talk by Jonathan Parrett #atbc2018

Great talk by Jonathan Parrett at the #ATBC2018 on his work with HMTF LOMBOK on how male contest competition increases population resilience to habitat change! Take home-sexual selection enhances the survival & persistence of Bornean dung beetles within modified forests

After spending the day looking down a microscope it was nice to see something grander leaving the lab

New paper out today in Biology Letters. Interested in #sperm #competition in #moths and #butterflies take a look!! rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/14/8/2…

Check out or new paper on #dungbeetle #traits & intraspecific differences across land uses from #forest to #oilpalm SAFE Project SEARRP part funded by BES Tropical Ecology small project grant onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Show me your #sunset

The arboreal traps are working pretty well!!

Still no O.negrobscurior despite checking ~1000 O.cervicapra..... #forestspecies

Pasukan Kumbang Tahi HMTF LOMBOK made it to #MaliauFalls #endoffieldworkteamtrip #teamdungbeetle #thesearemyamazingRAs

#dungbeetle identification and sample sorting training for our star HMTF LOMBOK SEARRP RAs. First time using a key and they rocked it! 27 samples, over 40 species & ~3000 individuals! #dungbeetlesofsabah #thisismyRA #newguidecomingsoon #knowledgeexchange Jonathan Parrett

Thank you too, I love spending time in Sabah and talking/looking dung beetles......but not for a week please!

Sexually selected trait captures genetic variation and sexual selection purges mutation load. Read our new paper published in NatureEcoEvo with Springer Nature here rdcu.be/cRUTR

paper in NatureEcoEvo rdcu.be/cRUTR on balance genetic variation and sexual selection. Thanks to all for this and for forthcoming collaborations Jonathan Parrett,Sebastian, eylem aydogdu,Mateusz Konczal, @JacekRadwan, and many others.@PSB_VIB

Our paper in NatureEcoEvo shows that sexually selected trait facilities removal of deleterious mutations genome-wide nature.com/articles/s4155… Terrific work by all coauthor, especially Jonathan Parrett @JacekRadwan Sebastian Ola Lukasiewicz Stephane Rombauts eylem aydogdu
