Emotional week of goodbyes after nearly 8 years in Cambridge! Thanks @mel_rosina St John's College, Cambridge King's College, Cambridge for the epic ride Soon moving to Uppsala to start my lab 🦋 Animal Ecology Uppsala SciLifeLab

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!

Just spent the most magical weeks working in California with Euphydryas editha. If you are interested in the genomics of local adaptation (+ fieldwork) please get in touch! Soon recruiting at Animal Ecology Uppsala Thank you Mike Singer, Camille Parmesan & Jules Paraskevopoulos 🏕️

Interested in evolution of reproductive proteins? Check out the new paper 👉 Comparative genomic analysis of the pattern of evolution of male and female reproductive proteins in seed beetles academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-ar…

Quantifying temperature’s effect on #diapause #termination requires fitting #TPCs to binary biological data. In our new paper, out now in #PNAS, we show how to do this, revealing the sequential nature of diapause termination and post-diapause development. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Congrats to Alessandro Culicchi for nailing his thesis, "Ecological and evolutionary effects of anthropogenic change in freshwater fish communities" last week! 🐟👏 The defense will be Oct 3, with Prof. Skúli Skúlason from Hólar University as the opponent.

150 extractions of Euphydryas editha (by wonderful RA Christina Panagaki) ✅ Seen amazing talks (Mark Kirkpatrik, Zach Gompert) and PhD defence (Jesper Boman) ✅ Fallen in love with Uppsala ✅ First two weeks as a PI at Animal Ecology Uppsala SciLifeLab and feeling chuffed! 😁

Congrats to Maddi (Maji) for a great PhD half-time seminar today—interesting findings on early-life development of the Baltic cod! 🐟🔍 Thesis title: Performance of eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua callarias) in early life stages under different environmental conditions

Many congrats to Alessandro Culicchi for defending his PhD thesis successfully yesterday! 🥳🎉🐟 Great discussions with the opponent Prof. Skúli Skúlason and the committee. Title: Ecological and evolutionary effects of anthropogenic change in freshwater fish communities

.Luke L. Powell gives a captivating talk about rainforest ants and the birds that follow them, for the Hemborg lecture at Animal Ecology Uppsala @UU_University

Guest researcher Marta Garrigós visited our lab at Animal Ecology Uppsala for one month and gave a great talk about her interesting work on avian malaria and mosquito #microbiomes. 🐦🦟🦠

Super excited about this, tomorrow I'll be speaking at the museum I grew up with. Stories about 🦋⛰️☀️, of course

🔬Marta Garrigós recently completed her #STSM at the Animal Ecology Uppsala from @UU_University with Elin Videvall She learned advanced bioinformatics techniques to analyze mosquito microbiome data based on their infection status.🦟💻🔍 Exciting skills for future research! #COSTAction

❗️New paper out by Pruvôt et al., showing sexually antagonistic coevolution in water striders with a shared developmental genetic basis. Check it out 👇 academic.oup.com/evlett/advance…

Our programme has decided to leave X. So long, and thanks for all the animal ecology all these years 🙏 While this account will no longer be active, you are most welcome to find us on BlueSky: bsky.app/profile/animec… Hope to see you there!
