Our newest paper is out in The Royal Society. Despite extreme mtDNA divergence in copepods, we did not uncover ‘mother’s curse’ effects for fertility or longevity, but instead found stronger mito effects in females.

Yesterday was a student's birthday, and another student brought them a chocolate hedgehog cake! Made my day just seeing this happen.

Join us tomorrow for a virtual IE2 seminar: Jonathan Goldenberg on "The Evolution and Thermal Properties of Squamates’ Colored Integument" - 12:15pm Oregon time, at youtu.be/ijIbWAXbq5M

Finally!

Thanks, all! Especially some of you.

Want to be excited for someone else for a minute?

Neat thinking about the evolution within us, here: (note: I'm on masto at ecoevo dot social but stopped in for this one)

Nice talk in our ecology & evolution seminar today, by Carrie Wessinger - check it out! youtu.be/S_HqYxuP0hY

🥳 tskit 0.5.4🥳 This first release of the year brings some useful features and support for Python 3.11. Thank you to our lovely community of contributors! github.com/tskit-dev/tski… 🧵👇

tskit can make fancy 3D plots for your talks!

Very excited to share this new paper by Murillo Rodrigues (formerly aka @mufernando_) on leveraging correlations in the landscapes of genetic variation between species for evolutionary inference biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Here's my summary thread of the paper: ecoevo.social/@petrelharp/10…

Thanks, @fleventy5 for posting this here! Meant to do it earlier but the evolution meetings distracted me. pyslim users, take note:

Gee, twitter used to be useful for broadcasting information (like this important bugfix below!)... but I'm reeeeaaallly gettin the feeling it's not so great for that any more (posting got me this message saying no-one much would see my tweet):

it me!

We're hiring! Please pass this announcement on to people who like thinking about genealogical trees, genomic data, and/or data structures! (And, contact me by email or on 🐘, probably not here.)

Re-upping this. ALSO! My 'g' key is breaking, so the email in the announcement is missing one: contact plr at uoregon.edu not uoreon.edu. =)

Congrats to the whole team, especially our fearless leaders Peter Ralph, Jiseon Min and my student Elsie Chevy, on this paper about pop gen in space: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. The paper is a "guide" as the title says, AND 1/4
