Latest preprint. We tested the idea that dietary restriction (DR) is an ancient response.
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Across Drosophila the lifespan phenotype and the transcriptomic response to DR are conserved. Yet, many genes were Diptera (fly) specific. Mechanisms may not be conservedβ¦
Great article highlighting the "ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community" & why field work is so crucial for education & our ability to address the biodiversity crisis.

Wow. This is sooo good. Echoing @urbanevol.bsky.social this userβs manual for Ne should be required reading for popgen and conservation genetics folks. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Great annual lab walk and Christmas dinner. The Peak District was bleak (but dry), the pub was warm and the company grand!
