🎙️ 📻 New Heredity Podcast!

We talk with @caitismuheil.bsky.social and Jessica McNeill about their work showing the sensitivity of meiosis to temperature and what this might mean for populations in a warming world.

🎤 🦎New Heredity Podcast:

The genomes of organisms can tell us about evolutionary processes in the past - but can they also give clues about the future?

André Yves and Fernanda Werneck tell us about their work on climate adaptation in Amazonian lizards.

Another presentation from the team at #ESEB2025 today 21st - 11:30am room 115
Laura will be presenting her work on the effect of temperature on recombination - fresh from the oven 👉 journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Well done @lauuragon.bsky.social !!! Presenting at #ESEB2025 her work on temperature & recombination.
Thanks to the symposium organizares @amandabretman.bsky.social et al for selecting the work ☺️

I presented my poster at the #ESEB2025 !

📢 Call for entomologists🐝 We are looking for Vespula germanica from Europe to further our understanding of the invasion dynamics of the species. Please get in touch!

Surely one of the all-time best conference outreach activities: an evolution-inspired decorated street for Les Festes de Gràcia #ESEB2025

Thanks to all who popped by the booth at lunch, we're here the rest of #eseb2025 so anyone with questions feel free to come and see us. @ergabiodiv.bsky.social @biogeneurope.bsky.social @ebpgenome.bsky.social

Wonderful wrap up for a great symposium #ESEB2025 - thank you to all parcitipants for their high quality presentations, talks and posters (here most of the female contributors, but there were more 😉)

YouTube video by Rosana Z-F Zenil-Ferguson. The importance of quantifying rate uncertainty

Unfortunately, I couldn't join in person #eseb2025, but the organizers kindly accommodated a video. Posted here in case you missed it!

A little late to share, but the first paper from the @heredityjournal.bsky.social special issue on functional and adaptive effects of genomic structural variation is now out!

Experimental test of the fitness effects of divergent marine–freshwater chromosomal inversions in stickleback under different salinity conditions - Heredity Heredity - Experimental test of the fitness effects of divergent marine–freshwater chromosomal inversions in stickleback under different salinity conditions

Really excited to share my first PhD paper about fitness effects of chromosomal inversions!

Using an experimental approach we explored if inversions involved in ecotype divergence in threespine stickleback affect fitness-proxies 1/🧵
