The whole lab is on the road to our yearly departmental retreat called the "Bloodbath" at Tovetorp field station, this year featuring Mike Ritchie, Kathryn Elmer and Jaap de Roode! Let the fun begin!

That's a wrap for the 25th #bloodbath, thank you all for three days filled with science and fun! #tovetorp

The entire Stockholm Zoology Department embarking on a boat for this year’s Christmas party, featuring 12 different kinds of pickled herring and a pig’s head. Skål!

More than 800 signatories call for the entire concept of statistical significance to be abandoned. go.nature.com/2HTYnRU

I am so happy and proud for my science sister! She has done some awesome work on adaptation, hybridization, and predictability of evolution in the Melissa blue butterflies! Congrats, Dr. Chaturvedi!!! 🦋🧬✨

Hey! That’s me! And my first first-author publication! We sampled (nearly) every generation of adaptation to a novel host plant in seed beetles to catch rapid adaptation in action! I’m really proud of this work, so check it out!! 🧬

I am incredibly proud to finally see this chapter of my dissertation published! Thank you to PLOS Biology, great editors and 4 amazing reviewers. We assessed the ribozyme fitness landscape at the intersection of two genotype networks! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Proudly presenting the very first paper from our lab with PhD student @CiaranGilchrist, where we cross-link aneuploidy, hybridization and adaptation to stressful environments!

“Our study focuses on alfalfa and the organisms that interact with it,” says Lucas, lecturer and lab coordinator in USU’s Department of Biology. “Alfalfa is one of our region’s most important crops, but it’s also widely found in non-cultivated areas...” usu.edu/today/index.cf…

Our yeast art made it on the front cover of Molecular Biology and Evolution! Pretty pretty! academic.oup.com/mbe/article/37… Ale D. Department of Zoology

It is with great pleasure (and relief) that I can finally share the first paper and chapter of my thesis (as a preprint for now) exploring the evolutionary history of a modular enhancer regulating a trans-specific polymorphism. Many thanks to all involved! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new paper on experimental evolution of reconstructed ancestral proteins: Historical contingency is the dominant factor in evolution of protein sequence variation, even under strong selection. Out today in eLife - the journal. 1/ elifesciences.org/articles/67336

Dr. Samridhi Chaturvedi (@samridhichat) will speak to us next week. Join us for a "Where's Timema?" ;) #evolution #climate #adaptation

I wrote a "behind the paper" blog of our latest paper in NatureEcoEvo. In there you'll find a bit of history and a few cartoon versions of me and my coauthors :3 #fungi #Podospora #speciation ecoevocommunity.nature.com/posts/when-the…

I attended this course my first year as a PhD student back in 2019 (I’m even in the photo 😏). Definitely recommend it for those interested in experimental evolution!

Congratulations to @CiaranGilchrist from Stelkens Lab on successfully nailing his thesis titled "Hopeful monsters: The role of hybrids in adaptation". His defence will be on the 14th of October!

Our new #butterfly🦋 #evolution paper is finally out in Science Advances. "Evidence for a single, ancient origin of a genus-wide alternative life history strategy": science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #Butterflies🦋 #Color #AncientPolymorphisms #introgression #CRISPR🧵🧵🧵

What started as a hobby project turned into a paper! Proud to share my first single author work in Methods in Ecology and Evolution about how to interpolate temperature using classic signal processing concepts. Will write a short thread at some point! #Ecology #ThermalEcology #Microclimate

In this quite informal blog post, I try to convey some of the intuition I gained as a layman for why signal processing ideas can be used to leverage cyclic temperature patterns and interpolate temperature! 🌡️ Check it out 👇

Who are fittest:☀️‘summer specialists’ that maximize growth season gains, or❄️‘winter specialists’ that minimize overwintering risk? We investigated this in temperate #lepidoptera, now out in Nature Communications Both work but cause different pop. dynamics. 🧵⬇️ doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
