Global warming is not a “con job.” It is a fact.

In the face of Donald Trump’s new denial of climate change, CNRS scientists have reacted by pointing to the facts and levers for action to halt this planetary crisis.

Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants

Looking forward to speaking @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social in Berlin on Anthropocene Biology in Eastern Europe and Beyond. I will talk about the implications of #war on wildlife. Sadly, science meets reality when my departure to Berlin was delayed due a #drone attack in Poland.

Absolutely stunning story! I'll just drop this line here: "Clonal males may thus be regarded as organelles at the superorganism level, resulting from the integration of this alien genome into a colony that directly replicates it."

Why do males and females often differ in traits?
The expected answer: selection.
But our new paper in GENETICS shows that genetic drift alone can generate sexual dimorphism — even when male & female optima are the same

Hybrid Day Meeting | Organismal resilience in a rapidly changing world Join us at the Linnean Society for a one-day symposium focused on the mechanisms and consequences of variation in organismal resilience

The next speaker from our Organismal Resilience symposium is Luis Chevin @lmchev.bsky.social!

Luis' work takes a genetic perspective on evolution and ecology. His projects consider a range of species, from theoretical models to observations in the wild.

Book to hear from Luis on 20 November 🧪 🌍 👇

Understanding the role of ageing in the thermal responses of life history and fitness in Daphnia magna | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences The current climate warming has raised concerns that increased rates of ageing will lead to reduced fitness and population viability in ectotherms. However, it is currently not known whether temperatu...

Do ectotherms age more strongly in warm environments? And if so, does it mean reduced fitness and population viability in a warmer world? We investigated these questions in a recent study based on an experiment with Daphnia magna (1/7)

@cnrsecologie.bsky.social regrette profondément l'adoption de cette loi à la vision court-termiste & ses conséquences graves sur l’environnement, qui méprise santé & bien-être de la population & le rôle des espèces sauvages dans la prod. agricole. La communauté scientifique n'a pas été entendue.
