24hrs straight under the microscope and many many hours of counting later. Cheers to Neha for leading this study and all the people. Happy to have been a part of this. Still traumatised by the deutonymphs though.

The second chapter of my PhD is now available as a preprint 🦚. A lot of it came together during long days in front of my blue screen, and weekends spent watching puffins in the UK. With an amazing team @robknell.bsky.social @jacek-radwan.bsky.social Jonathan Parrett and @ecologycoder.bsky.social

1) New manuscript preprint up: we model adaptation to changing environments under mating systems ranging from random mating via mutual choice monogamy through to female choice polygyny. 🧪www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03...

Is male aggression good or bad for populations under heatwaves? Find out in our recently published article onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

@neelamporwal.bsky.social ‘s talk about estimating extinction risks under sexual selection using simulations, at PEC2025 won the first prize for the best student talk. So, should animals swipe right for survival?🐧

We are having fantastic time presenting and discussing our work at #ESEB2025

- Neelam Porwal answered a question "How sexual selection shapes small populations demography under recurrent heatwaves"

Would appreciate to be added :)

We explore evolution’s thrilling battles, between and within sexes and, hosts vs. parasites. Our focus? Conservation genomics, experimental evolution, adaptation, and mutation dynamics, with special attention to sexual selection 🦌 in mites and host-pathogen coevolution in Borrelia and bank voles 🐀.

I would like to be added as well :)

Just joined Bluesky, would appreciate to be added🪲
