Purple pollen visible in a dissected flower of Linum grandiflorum, flowering flax, an insect-pollinated species.

*Postdoc in Evolutionary genomics at Stockholm University*
We are recruiting a postdoc for a large interdisciplinary project to investigate evolutionary drivers and genomic consequences of pollen evolution in response to pollination mode shifts in flowering plants. 1/5

Very cool!

7. How to write consistently boring scientific literature.

The best way to reconnect with colleagues after a year of parental leave is a seminar 🧬 🎤
(in the afternoon before my return to my MSCA fellowship)

😂 😂 Finally we are ahead of Max Planck, I think that our corridors are full of various pieces of conceptual art, just unlabeled..

The deadline is slowly coming, do not forget. Postdoc at the transdisciplinary institute of CTS.

Biology is crazy 🤪

Can you guess which group this fascinating plant belongs to? Its species name is ‘medusa,’ which I think is quite fitting.

Look at this rainbow hematite 🌈 🪨!
The collection of minerals of the National Museum in Prague is just amazing. We always spend more time there than I expect.

Alpine vegetation of Georgia is just incredible ❤️ 🌸

Proud that this is my mom ❤️

Lilium martagon from Slovakia. Did you know that it's toxic to cats?

I ❤️ my localities

How much do flowers heat up on sun ☀️? And which part of the light spectrum contributes the most? We will hopefully know soon 💡

A high-resolution two-step evolution experiment in yeast reveals a shift from pleiotropic to modular adaptation Evolution is expected to involve mutations that are small and modular in effect, but recent findings suggest that mutations early in an adaptive process can have strong and pleiotropic effects. This s...

Having a great time at #smbe2025! So many great talks and conversations. Thank you again to @iamphioxus.bsky.social for the opportunity to present our work! Much of it is from the paper by @grantkinsler.bsky.social and @yuping-li.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... 1/n

If Filip weren’t too lazy to set up Bluesky, he could have reposted this himself :D. Still, I’m proud of him and Patrick Mairmans for this piece of work.

Nice empirical evidence for thinking about adaptive and non-adaptive phenotype evolution at range margins.

Hi Patrick, the link is no longer valid.. this one works: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I love this approach and I love the result 🧡 ♥️
Hope we can use it in the future to understand the flower color composition of alpine vegetation.

Apparently, my move from Twitter is a decision worthy of a post. I feel important 😄

Great idea to look into this :)! Would be actually very cool to find out which genes pseudogenised in high altitude plants! 🌱 🏔️

Convergent reduction of olfactory genes and olfactory bulb size in mammalian species at altitude Graham et al. report that high-altitude mammalian species have a greatly reduced number of olfactory receptor genes, and their brains have a smaller olfactory bulb, consistent with a deteriorated sens...

Top right: The GPS-corrected dead-reckoned tracks of 27 penguins at sea, colored to distinguish between the outbound (red) and inbound (blue) phases of their foraging trips. Bottom: A ‘snapshot’ of the current conditions within the grid area, showing peak tidal strength during a single day as a function of the tidal cycle, including the outgoing (‘ebb’ – left panel) and incoming (‘flood’ – right panel) tides. Penguins are often subjected to strong cross-currents during these phases. The colony location is marked by a small black filled circle with a white outline.

How can magellanic #penguins navigate tidal currents while balancing #EnergyEfficiency & foraging opportunities? This study reveals how they adaptively make S-shaped return paths to their colony, optimizing travel in complex oceanic flows @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/40nKyD4

Thank you GRC on Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics 2025. For the stimulating environment. For the diverse talks. And for being able to be fully involved, even with the baby company. Great job @samyeaman.bsky.social @chicascientifica.bsky.social for organizing such a great meeting 🧬 🌱 🐟 🦠
