A lack of genetic variation can constrain adaptation, and correlations between trait variability and divergence are testaments of that. But how do we interpret such correlations when they last over many many millions of years? New paper in @natureecoevo.bsky.social with Patrick Rohner. rdcu.be/d8YxG

Back to editing at Functional Ecology. Sadly I had to reject 3 papers without review because they lacked replication @ the right level. More discussions about design before the experiment is done pls: heartbreaking waste to only talk about it afterwards. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
