Looking for an MSc on bugs, behaviour, evolution? Come join us on the east coast! I'm happy to work with students to apply for CGS-M funding: nserc-crsng.gc.ca/students-etudi… We study sexual selection, social behaviour, evolutionary conflict, insect thermal ecology - lab site in bio

If you're struggling for hope today, these will show you how to rebuild it

Final version of this thing now published in PLOS Biology, so ... some weekend reading. 🧵 Sexual selection (SS) is a major strand of evolutionary theory, but how and why it varies across species at global scales is poorly known. 1/9 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

New SNP panels for Arctic Char, Brook Trout, & Lake Whitefish bring cutting-edge genomics to Northern Canada! These tools aim to support Indigenous fisheries, for sustainability, food security, and cultural traditions. See📰twtr.to/IE_el #IndigenousKnowledge #Genomics

Do you have a field trip in your evolutionary medicine course? I would love to hear about it

Nicolas Svetec, David Begun, and I wrote a review article about de novo genes. If you are interested in this topic please take a look at this final open-access version Annual Reviews annualreviews.org/content/journa….

I am loving the Evolution Letters by G. Moggioli. This issue has 3 articles about the Darwin-Bateman paradigm. Lehtonen & Parker doi.org/10.1093/evlett… provide theory, w/ comments by @timjanicke doi.org/10.1093/evlett… and Mokos et al. doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

Do you have a paper you really like about evolutionary mismatch & human health? Especially a recent empirical paper that's not too long/complex? I'm introducing a journal club for my evolutionary medicine course this year

Does anyone have a pdf of Rufus Johnstone's 1997 chapter 'The Evolution of Animal Signals' by any chance?

Why is an old male reproductively doomed to fail? Is it poor sperm and seminal fluid, or do females not like him and his ejaculate? doi.org/10.1093/evlett… Now in Evolution Letters by @Krish_Sangvi, Sam Gascoigne, Dr Tara-Lyn Camilleri, İrem Sepil, et al. Image: Krish Sangvi & Martin Jahn

Does the ratio of males to females predictably influence the ability to monopolise mating partners? Is male sexual selection more intense when femaleIs are rare? 🪰♂️♀️ We investigated by manipulating sex ratios in fruit flies in our new #OA manuscript published in Evolution Letters

Sexual selection was consistently stronger on males vs females, however our results reveal that changes in sex ratios do not equal changes in sexual selection. fruit flies like a banana 🍌 Juliano Morimoto 🇧🇷 @StuartWigby Jen Perry academic.oup.com/evlett/advance…

Just a reminder my Canadian friends. Many spring projects. Home Depot is 100% American owned. The owner is Bernard Marcus is a huge Trump supporter. Home hardware is 100% Canadian owned. Pass the word repost.

I fully support Tim Houston 's words & the NS & federal govt's actions on this. Colleagues abroad, Canada is under economic attack today

Abstracts for ESEB2025 are due next week! Milk, ejaculates, skin secretions, regurgitate, microbes ...our symposium will have it all, with invited speakers Aileen Berasategui and Jen Perry ...and you? Organised w/ Joris Koene & Mariana Wolfner
