Creasey, Petrov & Tauber analyze the evolution of 11 core clock proteins across 65 Drosophila species, finding that the circadian clock network does not impose strong constraints on the evolution of its components.

Notre tribune de scientifiques pour alerter sur les dangers de la nouvelle loi d'urgence pour l'agriculture: la science montre que l'urgence est au contraire de transformer le système agricole pour préserver notre santé, la fertilité des sols, une eau disponible et non polluée, et la biodiversité.

Happy to share this work with Virginia Sanchez-Puerta (not on bsky) and colleagues on how loss of photosynthesis in these (strange!) plants affects translation and tRNAs in plastids and mitochondria....

@alanrice.ie et al. compared variation in expression of dosage-sensitive and nondosage-sensitive genes to investigate whether dosage-sensitive genes evade expression constraints through tissue-specific regulatory variation.

and, @stuartmcdaniel.bsky.social !
My favorite part of this paper: the collaboration started after I sent Meng a biorxiv preprint from Stuart's lab.. She contacted him with questions about that work, and the collaboration grew from there.
@hansenlab.bsky.social et al. study the evolution of bacterial symbionts of Pariaconus psyllids in Hawaii, demonstrating that island biogeography and host plant ecology shape symbiont losses and codiversification patterns.

#PopGen New preprint of the team on the discovery of a very high rate of polymorphic duplication in a marine bivalve.
Imagine looking at the distribution of the allelic coverage fraction at heterozygous calls in an indivdual and getting this distribution 👇 😱😱😱
🤝 Join us for the joint MBE/GBE Q&A session on July 23rd, at 13h00, during #SMBE2025. We will answer questions on our journals processes, outlooks, and why choosing MBE or @genomebiolevol.bsky.social as the journal for your next paper supports the growth of our evolutionary biology community.
If you are at #SMBE2025, go and listen to why you should publish your work in a #societyjournal! 👇
And don’t forget to submit to @jevbio.bsky.social. ;)
📢 Calling GBE authors attending #SMBE2025
🗣️ 📄 If you are going to the annual meeting in Beijing to present your GBE article in a talk or poster, please let us know in which symposium, and link below to the article you are presenting ⬇️
See you soon at #SMBE2025!
Elegant empirical validation of a theoretical expectation that changing your mutation bias allows you to access more beneficial mutations. From @deepaagashe.bsky.social & colleagues in @plosbiology.org
