Exciting research by Samyuktha Rajan from the wheatcroftlab now published in current biology!

A new global study by Prof Linda Laikre et al shows that more than half of the studied populations are too small to maintain enough genetic diversity to safeguard adaptive capacity. Genetic indicators for 919 species have been assessed. su.se/english/news/m…

Read exciting work from the Stelkens Lab in The Economist 🍻:

📜 Exciting new paper lead by Kathi Schneider examining transcriptional responses to host plant switches in a butterfly species is out in Molecular Ecology! Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/mec.17… #Plasticityforthewin

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…

Great work presented by members of the department at International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP #ICE2024kyoto

Many thanks to lauren buckley for giving a fascinating seminar on their work in which they use modelling as well as field and lab data to examine ecological and evolutionary responses to environmental change in organisms.

Many thanks to Florian Schiestl for kicking off this years Departmental Seminar Series with a great presentation outlining some of his work examining the (co) adaption of plants, pollinators and herbivores.

Congratulations to Dick Moberg (Dick Moberg) for successfully passing his licentiate defence examining population divergence of reproductive traits and its impact on reproductive isolation. Many thanks to the opponent Anna Qvarnström and the examination committee.

Great talks and posters by members of the department at ISBE2024! A big thank you to the organisers for such a great conference 🇦🇺 #ISBE2024

Congratulations to @Chrisacockerill for successfully passing his licentiate examination titled "Genomic Signatures of Arctic Fox Exploitation in a Changing Climate". Many thanks to the opponent Jacob Höglund and the examination committee for a great discussion.
