Get your abstracts ready and join us for the #SMBE2023 symposium #15 “Animal genomics goes wild” - submission closes March 15! smbe2023.org/abstractsubmis… With @m_e_visser @indianadiez Anders Bergström and two fantastic invited speakers @SuseJohnston & Eline Lorenzen

It is great that I can combine my hobby as photographer with being a scientist. So proud that my picture landed on the cover of Molecular Ecology with the paper of Melanie Lindner as the reason for this! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me… Dept. of Animal Ecology NL Inst of Ecology @m_e_visser Heidi Viitaniemi

Genotypes selected for early and late avian lay date differ in their phenotype, but not fitness, in the wild | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #ornithology

Excited to see our paper on genomic selection in wild great tits out in Science Advances. Grateful to have contributed to this big team effort with Jip R. ╰⋃╯, Irene Verhagen, Barbara Tomotani, Christa Mateman, Phillip Gienapp & @m_e_visser! scim.ag/2WM

In a 3-year genomic selection experiment in the wild involving more than 2000 Dutch great tits, researchers found that the birds’ reproductive success was not affected by laying eggs early or late in the season. scim.ag/2Zd

Early birds of the future: earlier, but still too late? Our researchers Dept. of Animal Ecology took a sneak peek into the birds’ future, to predict the future impact of climate change on nature. nioo.knaw.nl/en/news/early-… @m_e_visser Melanie Lindner Barbara Tomotani Science Advances

Excited to host the 6th Annual Seasonality Symposium this Friday, December the 1st from 900-1830h. There is an excellent group of speakers talking about the latest advances in seasonal research across the spectrum of life. All online and free to attend. Please DM for zoom details

📣 Come work with us! 🎉 #PDRA position in my group Ecology and Evolutionary Biology on the #evolution and #genomics of sexual signals in stalk-eyes flies! Exciting questions and methods, awesome study system, and a friendly group and department.
