Check out my review on Haldane's rule, thinking about sex-biased hybrid dysfunction with ESD, homomorphic GSD, haplodiploidy, & hermaphrodites in eLife - the journal doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Thank you Julia! Very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with so many stellar scientists like you.

New work out, on the evolution and diversity of sex in waterhemp!

Widely observed negative correlation between recombination rate and TE abundance is usually interpreted as recombination rate being the "cause," influencing the efficacy of selection purging TEs. Yet, our recent study "flipped" this causality! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…… (1/5)

📢 SMBE 2025 Call for Symposia - Deadline November 5th, 2024 Details on smbe.org and smbe2025.org #SMBE25 SMBEmeetings

I'm recruiting students / postdocs to join my new lab at the University of Rochester for Fall 2025 onwards! If you're interested in phylogenetic comparative methods, genome evolution, and/or computational biology, please get in touch! More info: mhibbins.github.io

Does intra-locus conflict between the life cycles lead to genome-wide signatures of selection? Find out in this study led by Meng Yuan 袁梦 !!

I'm excited to be starting as an Assistant Professor (@BiologyUnb) at the University of New Brunswick (Fredericton, Canada) in July 2025! My group will be exploring the evolutionary forces driving pangenome variation in prokaryotes. Details here: buff.ly/3UPVcQ9

What forces drive genome evolution in groups with young sex chromosomes?” doi.org/10.1093/evlett… Now in Evolution Letters by Mark Hibbins, Great Lakes Swashbuckler, @JoannaRifkin, Baharul Choudhury, O Voznesenska, B Sacchi, Meng Yuan 袁梦, Y Gong, SCH Barrett, and Stephen I. Wright 📷: Joanna Rifkin

New work led by Meng Yuan 袁梦 shows evidence for much greater scope for conflict between the sexes within a tissue than between life stages (pollen and leaf) within a sex, given more genetic concordance of eQTL effects between the sexes
