Excited to be able to share the first chapter of my master’s thesis which was an absolute blast to think about and write with my amazing co-authors :)

Henry North@henrylnorth.bsky.social

Congrats to @ssorkhabi.bsky.social on their first manuscript — a perspective that asks ‘What, if anything, can studies of adaptation to altitude reveal about responses to climate change?’ It was great fun to think about this with @gmkov.bsky.social, @chrisjiggins.bsky.social and Marianne Elias 🏔️

V happy to be able to share this work from my final-year research project! Feedback v welcome :)

Congrats to @cd-williams.bsky.social on his first first-author paper! We developed a sequential SDM approach to quantitatively incorporate information about local adaptation into range forecasts for invasive species. Feedback welcome! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

biorxiv.orgGenetically informed distribution models refine predictions for the overwintering range of Helicoverpa armigera in North AmericaThe ecological and economic threat posed by invasive pests demands proactive mitigation. Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in efforts to predict where invasive species might spread af...

Oh my way to PopGroup! I’ll be talking about our preprint on bidirectional adaptive introgression between native and invasive agricultural pests: Friday, 16:30 in Amphi B doi.org/10.64898/202...

V excited to be able to share the work I’ve been doing this year! Come and catch both our talks tomorrow - S05 rooms 120+121 #ESEB2025

In the same session at 12:15, my first research supervisee @cd-williams.bsky.social will present his work on a distribution model of invasive Helicoverpa armigera in North America — a model informed by the geographic distribution of a climate-adapted supergene
