Check out our newest preprint! 📝 We find that adaptation on coevolutionary fitness landscapes is highly repeatable, but landscape-specific, and intergenomic epistasis creates coevolutionary fitness load for interacting species due to frequent fitness trade-offs 🏋️

Karolina Wąchała is building one of the things selection scans _really_ need: workflows for simulation so that one can check "whether you could even detect selection in your study". #eseb2025
