We are recruiting two PhD students on polygenic adaptation! www.evolbio.mpg.de/3811254/job_...

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Seriously?!

I had a good time working with @paulcuchot.bsky.social on inferring reproductive phenology from juveniles counts over time in a population, including using citizen science. Check it out!

Tiens, Delphine Legrand qui parle d'évolution expérimentale chez les ciliés, j'achète!

Pour son 17e anniversaire, @mediapart.fr est en accès libre ce week-end ! L’occasion de donner un écho plus large au procès Sarkozy-Kadhafi, si peu couvert dans les médias👇 www.mediapart.fr/studio/panor... Le dossier sur l’affaire Betharram-Bayrou est dispo ici 👇 www.mediapart.fr/journal/fran...

🚨If you fancy evolutionary genomics, theory, my lab now offers *two* fully-funded #PhD #genomics #popgen #evolution ℹ️One on sex-asex transitions with Christoph Haag bit.ly/4hp1q1A ℹ️One on allele-specific expression with Sylvain Glémin bit.ly/4iuKLuQ Part of #ERC RegEvol In #CEFE lab, Montpellier

Dear Colleagues, The Biology Department at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is advertising for a position in Marine Biodiversity. Please share this announcement with anyone qualified for this position (or consider applying yourself). www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

This is essential reading. Compiled in a single place here, the list of ways that speech is being silenced in America today is overwhelming.

Happy to be on this picture, standing up for science (next to an olive tree!), at the regional @cnrs.fr delegation in Montpellier.

Fière de mon ancienne université 👏💪✊ #StandupforScience #StandupforScienceFR

This #standupforscience2025 day is a good time to highlight the 'Make our Planet Great Again" (MOPGA) program. It targets young scientists working on climate change and its consequences (including for biodiversity). Next call probably in september 2025. www.campusfrance.org/en/mopga-2025

#StandUpForScience France. Demain vendredi 7 mars : Liste des évènements dans toutes les villes (par ordre alphabétique) 👇

Join the second Evolutionary Rescue workshop at the Max Planck Institute, Plon, Germany from June 30 to July 3, 2024. Registration is free until March 15. More info: https://workshops.evolbio.mpg.de/event/128/. #workshop

#CNRSdurable ♻️ Le CNRS publie son Schéma directeur développement durable et responsabilité sociétale : une feuille de route ambitieuse pour une recherche plus durable et responsable, avec plus de 100 actions structurantes. 🌱 www.cnrs.fr/fr/actualite...

If you need another break from current news, come with me 7000 years ago to search for the first speakers of Indo-European languages. 🧪 Gift link: nyti.ms/42ILio5

Tenured position for a zoologist at my museum in Oslo. Think: organismal, systematics, evolutionary, genomics/phenomics. Deadline 23 Feb 25. Ad says needs scando language but scroll to end of ad for small print. And if u had a postdoc stint, u can apply! www.jobbnorge.no/en/available... Repost!

After the preprint, here comes the paper on analyzing reaction norms, proudly published in the diamond (=free!!) open access Peer Community Journal @peercomjournal.bsky.social The associated R package Reacnorm is available in CRAN on the same day, do try it!

We'll need many of these again in the next 4 years! (in French, for those who understand) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy_J...

In 2010 (SMBE Lyon) I gave a talk about the impact of GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) on functional sequence evolution. I argued that, because gBGC promotes G and C alleles irrespective of their fitness effect, it should generate some genetic load. 1/5

Our preprint on the statistical analysis of reaction norms and plasticity is recommended by @peercommunityin.bsky.social Evolutionary Biology, and will soon be published in the @peercomjournal.bsky.social! Check out nice thread by previous postdoc (and now great PI!) @pdevillemereuil.bsky.social 👇

Quite happy to have finally closed my X account today, nice initiative by @helloquittex.bsky.social @helloquitx.bsky.social, be part of it!

Here's a nice free app to transfer your X account to BlueSky, share with people around you: app.helloquitx.com/en/dashboard The plan is to jointly leave X on Jan 20.

The call for PhD positions at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology is now open, including one in my group! www.evolbio.mpg.de/3017297/appl.... If you are interested in playing with ancestral recombination graphs, please reach out!

Here are some 2024 highlights of PCI and Peer Community Journal.📊 Grateful to everyone who contributed to this success🦸. We're excited and prepared for an amazing 2025🤩!

Applications open for our MSc in #Quantitative #Ecology & #Evolution @umontpellier.bsky.social

Just out! Jon Bridle and I have reviewed theoretical arguments and empirical evidence on how adaptation limits influence the fate of populations and communities in changing environments. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

PLEASE SHARE: Postdoc Opportunity in Montpellier France. 18 months starting May 2025: Generative AI for Studying the Influence of Habitats on the Diversification of Bird Color Patterns. Applications and information here: tinyurl.com/2368teak @evoldir.bsky.social

New preprint out: Opinion piece on the need to pay more attention to non-genetic inheritance/transgenerational plasticity with dynamics spanning multiple generations. These may be confounded with adaptive evolution, especially in long-term microbial experiments. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Cette BD ce sont 20 minutes de ma vie que je ne récupèrerai jamais, pour une blague probablement déjà faite 1000 fois.

Please forward and help my great colleague Tim!

Empirical investigation on a question where theory has contradictory predictions: the role of density dependence in evolutionary rescue. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Out today: We competed closely related strains that do vs don't induce suicide (programmed cell death) in response to a salinity rise. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

(1/3) Ever wonder if there is anything in common between people studying #plasticity, #variability, #robustness, #bethedging, #variance, error-prone #molecularmechanisms? Might we all be thinking about different manifestations of Biological Noise? @official-smbe.bsky.social @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social

IT'S OFFICIAL! From today, @plos.org and its journals are no longer posting on Twitter/X. If you want to carry on hearing about great science in our journal, follow @plosbiology.org on Bluesky here: bsky.app/profile/plos...
