#Mitochondrial genes are often used to test for #positiveSelection on #energetics, but do the stories supported by #dN/dS ratios hold up? Zwonitzer et al. reexamined seven case studies and found evidence for positive and relaxed #selection, but not always according to the previous hypotheses.

How #ParentalCare affects the Evolution of #GeneticVariation by Rahia Mashoodh. Not sure if it’s parentale care per se or strong #Selection pressures related to the novel environmental conditions caused by preventing parental care that are responsible for the changes in genetic variation, but the approach and the questions were very neat! #Behaviour2023

Trois ans déjà que les #Facs et les #Labos ont démontré leur capacité à se rassembler et à se mobiliser puissamment, pour nos conditions de travail et d'étude, contre la #sélection et la #précarité 🔥

Many cool stories in Runa Ekrem's PhD. Most will revolve around a marine #insect #Clunio marinus - the first one reaching publication status does not. Still, the theme is a related one: how do males and females (moths? butterflies?) time their lives when neither lives very long, and the environment is seasonal? Naturally selected #phenology conflicts with sexual #selection, and if your intuition tells you that #SexualConflict and unmatedness play a role too, you're right! https://academic.oup.com/evolut/advance-article/doi/10.1093/evolut/qpac054/6896158

Last december I discovered a great method that can detect shifts in the direction of #selection associated to
phenotypic traits.

doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msac247

I like to think of it is as a #Phylogenetic #GWAS. If you give a trait, for instance #echolocation, you can see which site in which protein coevolved with this trait. Afterwords, you can also verify that genes for which you find a #coevolution actually makes sense regarding the trait. (1/N)

#Labour's policy ending tax incentives for private schools moves in the right direction, but doesn't go far enough. #Privateschools & #selection are a stain on UK treatment of its young people, they must be abolished. #ComprehensiveFuture #Fairness #fraternity

I had such a wonderful time with Clelia Gasparini talking about female reproductive fluid and sexual selection 🐠 I am so surprised that we know so lift about ecology of zebra fish..! So glad she came over and giving us inspiring seminar #NatureofLife #sexual #selection #postcop #cryptic #femalechoice
