🌺 New preprint out with John Pannell and @charlesmullon.bsky.social ! 🌺
We show that selection broadly favours a form of plasticity for the selfing rate where individuals adjust their mating behaviour to their condition — their overall vitality owing to their genetic background and environment. ⤵️
Will be presenting this work today at #eseb2025 poster P02.184, come by if interested about whether we should expect recombination suppression on sex chromosomes should evolve through modifiers on the X or the Y
New paper out with Thomas Brazier, Denis Roze and Sylvain Glémin!

1/7 Very happy to share our latest paper on the joint evolution of separate sexes and sexual dimorphism in @jevbio.bsky.social, led by @thomaslesaffre.bsky.social and in collaboration with John Pannell at @dee-unil.bsky.social

1/7 Sexual antagonism arises when males and females face different selection pressures for a trait influenced by shared genes. This is thought to drive balancing selection and maintain genetic polymorphism. We challenge this view in our recent paper :
