Delighted to present our Macrogenetics atlas of prokaryotes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This is a herculean effort from Chao Yang, which has a previous existence as a preprint first posted in 2018 "why panmictic bacteria are rare?" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It is worth paying close attention to the new bill "Dangerous Viral Gain of Function Research Moratorium Act" introduced by Senator Roger Marshall. If enacted, it will effectively stop all of virological research, including for vaccines. www.marshall.senate.gov/wp-content/u... 🧵👇

Preprint finally out! I show that eco-evo feedback can drive a tipping point where genetic drift overwhelms adaptation. This can result in a contraction of a species' range border or range fragmentation. Fragmentation is abrupt and arises readily under rapid temporal change. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I made a starter pack of speciation researchers. Please let me know if you or someone you know would like to be added. I am particularly sad that so far there are not many speciation researchers from the Global South represented. go.bsky.app/J7qDY56

Now in press: Local adaptation in 25 distantly-related plant species tends to involve genes with higher pleiotropy rdcu.be/dR0r6 With global adaptation, we found the opposite pattern (reduced pleiotropy), consistent with migration-selection theory www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Two years ago, we initiated a special issue, Eco-evolutionary dynamics in changing environment for @jevbio.bsky.social. It has now been published - the authors contributed a great set of papers: ow.ly/8bXr50Ssp0T; editorial: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/.... Tereza Nekovářová drew the cover art for us. 💙
