Continent-wide differentiation of fitness traits and patterns of climate adaptation among European populations of Drosophila melanogaster Abstract. A particularly well-studied evolutionary model is the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, a cosmopolitan insect of ancestral southern-central Af

Phenotypic divergence among European populations was assayed in 173 isofemale lines, spearheaded by Esra Durmaz Mitchell and Thomas Flatt, we show that populations differed markedly in multivariate trait structure @evolletters.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social academic.oup.com/evlett/artic... (5/7)

✨ Huge thanks to @eseb2025.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social for an inspiring week of science in #Barcelona!

Grateful for the chance to connect with old friends and new colleagues: what a community 🌍

Already looking forward to the next #ESEB in 2027! 🙌

#ESEB2025 @academic-chatter.bsky.social

I could not agree more. As Mike Ritchie said in his #ESEB presidential address: learned societies have never been more important than now! @eseb.bsky.social

A special thanks 💗 to @jevbio.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social for supporting our attendance and in-person gatherings 🤝, and the Equal Opportunity Initiative @annecharmantier.bsky.social for all their efforts to disseminate and increase #diversity, #inclusivity and #equity in science 🌈

Getting ready for another semester of seminars for the @eseb.bsky.social STN Internal Conflicts and Organismal Adaptation.

First seminar on September 19 internalconflictsstn.wordpress.com/seminars/

This is a big innovation for #eseb2027 not without it's challenges (time zones, currencies, technical delays...) but with potentially HUGE savings in terms of carbon footprint. So well done @eseb.bsky.social, let's embrace the experiment and make the hub concept a success!

#eseb2025

Mike Ritchie emphasising the huge importance of supporting society journals like JEB in his ESEB presidential address, Barcelona. @eseb.bsky.social @eseb2025.bsky.social

Thank you, Mike Ritchie, for the inspiring and entertaining presidential talk, and for all the work and contribution you have done for the #ESEB society @eseb.bsky.social . We look forward to your leadership in the coming years!

Perfectly timed to coincide with our Thermal Fertility Limit Special Topic Network meeting we’ve received a further 2 years of funding, thank you @eseb.bsky.social! And great work fellow leads @rhondasnook.bsky.social, @liamdougherty.bsky.social and Claudia Fricke.

@eseb2025.bsky.social is in full swing. In celebration, we're sharing just a few of the many open datasets published on Dryad through our partnership with @eseb.bsky.social

😍Loved helping decorate Carrer Perill for #FestesdeGràcia and sharing how genetics 🧬 has helped conserve the Iberian lynx — a fantastic outreach event by @lcatmon.bsky.social, @eseb.bsky.social & @sesbe-org.bsky.social

#ESEB2025 @ebdonana.bsky.social

Brilliant plenary today from Carrisa de Bekker @zombieantdoc.bsky.social at @eseb.bsky.social conference. On her work funded by @erc.europa.eu CoG. Great example of inter-disciplinary collaboration to solve a mystery..

Fun sharing our research on carnivoran skeletal evolution at the #eseb2025 conference!

Well I guess we actually started day 2 #eseb2025 with @evonicki.bsky.social reminding us about the excellent work of the society and how publishing in @jevbio.bsky.social supports this, so win win by publishing in our super society journal.

On my way to join my very first ESEB conference in Barcelona! 🤩 Come to poster session 3 on Thursday, P110! I'll be happy to exchange about DNA/RNA extractions from bone samples and DNA methylation analyses 🧬
