Finally, big paper #1 from GrENE-net, the unique distributed Arabidopsis evolution experiment! What an achievement, particularly by Moi, Niek and Francois who conceived the project (in Tübingen), and by the incredibly smart Moi Lab data analysis team: Lucas, Tati, Meixi, Xing and Moi!

Many organisms, including humans, reshape their environments in ways that influence the conditions faced by future generations. We ask whether this can favour biological variation with @irisprigent.bsky.social in our new paper. Thanks to @dee-unil.bsky.social @snsf.ch

V happy to share new paper led by @schmidmax.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1111/ele....

We show that plastic germination timing not only buffers environmental fluctuations (storage effect) but also promotes divergence, temporal assortative mating and thus ecological speciation. Thx @dee-unil.bsky.social

The evolution of tandem repeat sequences under partial selfing and different modes of selection - Heredity Heredity - The evolution of tandem repeat sequences under partial selfing and different modes of selection

New paper with @vsudbrack.bsky.social. Using pop gen modelling, we show that partial selfing makes selection on tandem repeats more efficient, reducing the associated load across different scenarios. Thanks to @snsf.ch @dee-unil.bsky.social @fbm-unil.bsky.social !
