I've just had a jaw-to-the-floor moment with this new paper from the Hines lab. They describe a yellow-white switch in bees, which maps to the same TF as the yellow-white switch in Colias butterflies, previously described by the @chriswheat.bsky.social lab. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

These results are so cool!! It was a pleasure to chat with @hybridzones.bsky.social at GRC speciation last year, and extra exciting to now get to read the paper! Congratulations on a fantastic discovery.

Fascinating article- exciting times!

Limited thermal tolerance in tropical insects and its genomic signature - Nature A survey of tropical insect populations and thermal tolerance limits indicates that species from lowland areas have low capacity to survive increased temperatures, and that thermal tolerance is limited by fundamental properties of protein architecture.

Exciting findings in the side-blotched lizard system, which I studied for my PhD. It was a joy working with several of these authors all those years ago, and especially the late great Barry Sinervo, who would have loved to see and help interpret these results. 👏👏👏👏
