When 'good genes' go bad: How #sexualconflict can cause population collapse @imperialspark @PNASNews https://pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2211668120 https://phys.org/news/2023-03-good-genes-bad-sexual-conflict.html

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

Welp apparently I was supposed to do this with hashtags? Here we go again, new #Introduction (I'll include more information this time)...

I'm Sandra. Nearly all of my work is #entomology -centric, often through the lens of #paleontology. I've also spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about #ColorPattern, particularly on the #wings of #Lepidoptera. I'm now focused primarily on #SexualConflict / #SexualAntagonism, particularly in #Diptera such as (you guessed it) #Drosophila.

#introduction

I am Susan & I study how evolutionary trade-offs affect genetic variation in wild and domesticated species. I am a middling-at-best quantitative geneticist who has made a career off of using obscure 1990s linkage mapping softwares and running the odd GWAS.

I head a research group in Edinburgh. We are interested in #recombination #meiosis #chromosomes #sexualconflict #immunity and have worked on 🐏🦌🐦🐟🐖🐂🦄 in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇫🇮🇳🇴.

Excited to join this new (old) community :mastolove:
