Three-year PhD position on sexual selection's role in thermal adaptation, starting October 2026, at University of Tours. Apply by April 15. More info: https://lmarie-orleach.github.io/ #phd
Sperm can “age” independently of the male, when stored in male or female reproductive tracts. Our meta-analysis finds widespread evidence across animals (including abstinence in men). Important consequences for fertility, sexual selection, haploid selection!

Are you looking for a PhD position, hoping to learn sexual selection theory from one of the true experts in the field? Lehtonen's work is awesome - Look at this and apply!

Thanks @baharpatlar.bsky.social, too kind! Leigh's survey was a highlight of last year's Biology of Sperm meeting, great to see this in print. Thanks to @rhondasnook.bsky.social, John Fitzpatrick and all who make BoS such an inspiring meeting and community.
We hope this little guide and review of the recent literature on SVs will be useful for the community in #ecology #evolution #genomics #PopGen.
Great lead by Kat!!
