It's still very bad for young women and maths in France, due to a structural reform of high schools.

We are offering a fully funded two-year postdoctoral position focused on sex chromosome evolution and speciation in the *Jaera albifrons* species complex. Please find the advertisement attached. We welcome applications from interested candidates. Join us :-)

David Marques was an amazing speciation genomics researcher, a passionate birder, and a wonderful friend, husband, and father. May he rest in peace. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

And huge congratulations to @bpajot.bsky.social for pushing this project forward! 🎉 Follow him to see more work of his current work on speciation in marine invertebrates !

Inversions support both parallel and location-specific adaptations in snail ecotypes Replicated hybrid zones between ecotypes established over within shore environmental gradients provide an opportunity to study the genomic architecture of barriers to gene flow. The marine snail Litto...

New results on Littorina fabalis ecotypes! 🐌
Inversions aren't just enabling parallel adaptation to wave exposure in France & Sweden, they're also hotspots for site-specific differences, including a striking color QTL associated with one inversion but only in France.

It is with joy and exhaustion I'd like to announce the release of Harpy v2 🎆.

What's different? Uh, almost everything. The changelog is so long that even I don't want to read it. BUT. IT WORKS WITH WGS DATA. AND MOST LINKED READ TECH. it just works 🙂

(Pour le CNRS, c'était une fois la deadline du concours passée, donc j'imagine qu'il doit y avoir d'autres moyens que la simple disqualification sur un critère bureaucratique !)

Il me semble que la validité du doctorat est contrôlée via la qualification, qui peut donc faire acte pour le diplôme. Au concours du CNRS de l'année dernière, j'ai reçu un mail de rappel des RH me demandant de transmettre une traduction par un traducteur assermenté de mon diplôme (danois) ASAP.

@annatraveset.bsky.social & I are excited to co-organize this symposium @ #ESEB congress in Barcelona:

"Aliens among us: ecological drivers, evolutionary dynamics, and rapid ecosystem reshaping by biological Invasions"

Abstract submission deadline: April 25th

Short INDELs and SNPs as markers of evolutionary processes in hybrid zones Abstract. Polymorphic short insertions and deletions (INDELs ≤ 50 bp) are abundant, although less common than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Evide

Short insertions and deletions are abundant but are they useful markers in genome scans for divergent selection? Hybrid zones in Littorina suggest they can add to information from SNPs, despite stronger purifying selection:

Our collection 🔍 phase was not a fiasco🎉! Thanks to many passionate collaborators🤝, we sampled more than a thousand snails from 23 sites and visited lovely places, labs, and colleagues♥️. We’re looking forward to the next steps and unveiling these 🌊🐚🐌 secrets!

Sex chromosomes and chromosomal rearrangements are key to behavioural sexual isolation in Jaera albifrons marine isopods The lack of sexual attraction between individuals from different populations is a direct barrier to gene flow between these populations. Here we focus on the evolution of this class of isolating mecha...
