#DSSS
A todos los biólogos evolutivos en Colombia - las inscripciones al simposio #Colevol estan abiertas! Nos vemos en Bogotá para hablar de genomas, rasgos complejos, robustes fenotípica, y más! #CienciaCriolla
Flyer of the course on "Introduction to Biodiversity Genomics". All information are also here: https://biodiversitygenomicslatam.weebly.com/
In July, we will teach the 3rd biodiversity genomics course in Latin America, this time in Bogotá, following the COLEVOL meeting. We invite applications from students, postdocs and PIs from Latin America interested in learning how to analyse genomic data. biodiversitygenomicslatam.weebly.com
Join us for a seminar by Dr. Francois Mallard (Institute de Biologie, École Normale Supérieure, Paris-France) about 'The genetic architecture of phenotypic plasticity' on 30th April, 2026, 3 pm CET. Zoom link here: polygenic-adaptation-network.org/seminars/
Huge congrats @schacherer.bsky.social !!! 🎉
Fantastic news! Congrats @wendyssae.bsky.social ! Go #CienciaCriolla ! 💪🏽
@jlarsch.bsky.social and I are organising the 2026 CIG Symposium on June 11-12 in Lausanne on "Information transfer: from genes to behaviour", featuring an eclectic set of brilliant scientists. Details and registration here (abstracts by May 1, registration by June 1):

Undaria pinnatifida gametophyte
Our work on chromatin evolution in brown algae is now published in @natecoevo.nature.com! We show that developmentally complex brown algae evolved without epigenetic silencing pathways long thought universal, underscoring why non-model lineages are important to study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Now that it's official i've got some news! Our group has moved from @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social to @unihalle.bsky.social where I am now leading the department for phytopathology and plant protection 🍄🌾🧬
Two PhD positions available in our lab!
www.senckenberg.de/de/stellenan...
a) "Genomic Mechanisms of Olfactory Adaptation and
Plasticity in Wasps, Ants, and Bees." 🐜🐝 REF.11-26010
b) "Evolutionary Genomics of Transcriptional
Regulation in Beetle Sociality."🪲🪳 REF.11-26011
Great Talk yesterday at the JGU in Mainz by @luisapallares.bsky.social on the genetic basis of phenotypic variation🪰🧬📊 great food for thought! #cienciacriolla 🇨🇴
We've launched a department Trainee Emergency Fund, to help support EVERYONE BELONGING IN SCIENCE by meeting urgent financial needs of students and postdocs. Every gift will be matched, up to $1,000, by Nels Elde. Click to see a message from Aaron Quinlan and to donate!

This Thursday we will have our ONLINE seminar by Dr. Christian Schlötterer (Vetmeduni, Vienna, Austria). Zoom link can be found here: polygenic-adaptation-network.org/seminars/
Congrats on the new position, @thorstenlangner.bsky.social ! All the best. We'll miss you!
Evolutionary biology colleagues: please consider to submit a title and Abstract suggestion to our forthcoming theme issue in "Methods in Ecology & Evolution" on time-dependency in micro- and macroevolutionary rates […]
FINDING THE BIG PICTURE FOR GENETIC DIVERSITY! We are offering a 2-year POSTDOC JOB to work on genetic diversity synthesis & metrics across species, as part of a larger @bexplo.bsky.social project on multi-species genetic diversity.

Hola gente bonita, recuerden enviar sus resúmenes antes del 15 de abril.
Esperamos con ansias verlos a todos en Perú.
New Preprint! When one enhancer allele changes another's regulatory output, is that bad? We found it could be a feature — interallelic cis-regulatory dominance buffers outputs AND enables evolutionary innovation. Two for one!

What a cool paper. Huge congrats, Noa! @ottilie.bsky.social
This is an exciting #perspective by our colleagues Amor Damatac II, Markéta Kaucká, Kristian Ullrich, as well as Alexander Klimovich, in #Nature Communications!
Congrats!

Dream Job Alert! @unituebingen.bsky.social is hiring a FULL PROFESSOR (W3) for EXPERIMENTAL BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH! You work on soil fauna/fungi/food webs and their relations with environment, plants, ecosystem processes? Come and join the @terra-cluster.org and our institute!
Please re-post!
1/11 🔥 New preprint alert 🔥
We wanted to know what plants in the wild really care about. So we asked them 🎤.
Here is what we learned: “Biotic-response networks are an important organizer of the transcriptome in wild Arabidopsis thaliana populations”
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
How does development shape the variation evolution can act on?
In our new paper in @pnas.org , we bridge developmental dynamics and quantitative genetics, linking dynamical models of phenotype formation with the statistical parameters used to study evolutionary change
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Next virtual talk in our @eseb.bsky.social Special Topic Network on polygenic adaptation:
I am extremely grateful to receive a Research Leadership Award from the Leverhulme Trust to study the epigenetic mechanisms underlying environmental stress memory in crops @dundee.ac.uk and @hutton.ac.uk 🍓🍅🌱
I’ll be advertising positions in our group soon - stay tuned!

Very happy to serve a society journal!
It's been 10 years since I gave a talk at the Micro-Evo-Devo symposium in the #EuroEvoDevo in Upsala 🤯 (I feel old) This year me and my lab will be in Glasgow, and won't miss this symposium!
