How did catastrophic black death and myxomatosis outbreaks on an isolated island affect the genomes of humans & rabbits, respectively?

And how did the microbes evolve in response to this?

ENDOWED PROFESSORSHIP IN HISTORY OF SCIENCE
My home department at Uppsala University is advertising an endowed professorship in the history of science. This is the best position in the field in Sweden, and probably in all of Scandinavia. Apply before 30 April 2026. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

This week we have put out a new pre-print (first of my PhD but also first ever 🎉) on the human AMY1 gene and its relationship to agricultural practice and demographic history.

Looking forward to the review process and my upcoming PhD projects!

New preprint! with @a-solernunez.bsky.social

Rethinking a textbook example of human adaptation "AMY1 copy number evolution in light of demographic history"

Once population structure is accounted for, the classic starch–agriculture narrative becomes much less clear
