The PopGen Vienna Seminar series schedule is ready for the next term (March-June). It's jam-packed with fantastic speakers in #evolution, #genetics, #genomics, #popgen, and more! Details and streaming link signup can be found on our website popgen-vienna.at/news/seminars/
Very interesting and thorough discussion of the history and challenges of the #genotype -> #phenotype mapping.
A genetic approach, of course. Are we missing something in that 'missing #heritability'?

Throat coloration in common wall lizards (Podarcis muralis). From top to bottom: White morph with the characteristic green and black coloration of the nigriventris syndrome; White morph with the ancestral brown phenotype; yellow and orange morphs from populations where individuals show varying expression of the nigriventris characters.
Two new Science studies on lizard coloration reveal how a delicate interplay of genetics, environment, and social dynamics can either preserve or erase polymorphic diversity in species.
