Exciting postdoc position on adaptive introgression in butterflies just announced by Konrad Lohse: elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid... I can highly recommend working together with him and Simon Martin in Edinburgh.

A new preprint from my former PhD student Lila Colston-Nepali: “Parallel differentiation extends beyond chromosomal inversions to small genomic islands on a background of rampant gene flow in the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #PopGen #MarEvol #ParallelEvolution

New preprint from the team #AdaptiveIntrogression #Haplotagging #PopGen #MarEvol "Adaptive introgression in subdivided populations leaves distinct genomic footprints under global and local selection: a case study in Ciona intestinalis" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Conference ERA 2027 : Evolutionary Responses to Anthropogenic Drivers, Nantes (France), 20-21 April 2027 Next April we are organizing a conference on the impacts of human activities on evolution. This conference is centred on evolutionary biology, at the interface with genetics, ecology […]

Chromosomal inversions are both engines of repeatability and innovation. They drive parallel genetic divergence between snail ecotypes across Europe, while also harbouring local variants that contribute to site-specific trait variations and adaptation: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... Pajot et al 2026

If anyone looking for a postdoc with fantastic genomics/bioinformatics skills + strong intellect + great energy, please let me know! Preferably West Coast or remote/hybrid options & the candidate is open to a short (1 year) or longer term appointment

It is with joy and exhaustion I'd like to announce the release of Harpy v2 🎆. What's different? Uh, almost everything. The changelog is so long that even I don't want to read it. BUT. IT WORKS WITH WGS DATA. AND MOST LINKED READ TECH. it just works 🙂 github.com/pdimens/harpy

@annatraveset.bsky.social & I are excited to co-organize this symposium @ #ESEB congress in Barcelona: "Aliens among us: ecological drivers, evolutionary dynamics, and rapid ecosystem reshaping by biological Invasions" Abstract submission deadline: April 25th

Short insertions and deletions are abundant but are they useful markers in genome scans for divergent selection? Hybrid zones in Littorina suggest they can add to information from SNPs, despite stronger purifying selection: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... Perini, Butlin and @anjamwestram.bsky.social

Our collection 🔍 phase was not a fiasco🎉! Thanks to many passionate collaborators🤝, we sampled more than a thousand snails from 23 sites and visited lovely places, labs, and colleagues♥️. We’re looking forward to the next steps and unveiling these 🌊🐚🐌 secrets! Updates here: rb.gy/givc52

Great work by Ambre Ribardière, Thomas Broquet and co' on mosaic hybrid zones between two species of marine isopodes linking reproductive isolation to sex chromosomes and chromosomal fissions / fusions / translocations www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
