[SSE @sse_evolution]

Are you or do you know an undergrad interested in evolution? The SSE Undergraduate Diversity at Evolution program provides funding, mentoring, and a presentation opportunity at #Evol2025. Applications due Monday! https://t.co/IdGsM9ztHC

[Alison Pischedda @AlisonPischedda]

This project was a massive undertaking led by a team of talented undergraduates who observed courtship and mating behavior for >1300 flies in total!

[Alison Pischedda @AlisonPischedda]

Our new paper is out in @Ecol_Evol in which we use hemiclonal analysis in #Drosophila to document genetic variation in the strength of male mate choice for large females. https://t.co/6gcPVJgfph

@PhilipKohlmeier @CurrentBiology This looks very cool!

[Alison Pischedda @AlisonPischedda]

This was a fun collaboration - now assigned to an issue!

[Journal of Evolutionary Biology @JEvBio]

400+ generations of artificial selection on body size in Drosophila > small flies had lower viability, fecundity, and absolute egg size, but higher relative egg size, compared to large flies:

JOB OPPORTUNITY! @mtholyoke Biology Dept is hiring an EVo-Devo tenure track faculty member!!! Our Dept is inclusive & supportive, and located in western mass, a top place to live in the USA. Please apply now and pass this on!! Careers https://t.co/bvylQbf372

[Katja Kasimatis @katjakasimatis]

Happy back to school! Thinking about what comes next? I am recruiting PhD students for Fall 2025 to join the Kasimatis lab at @uvabio @UVA! We study the genomics of sexual conflict & the evolution of reproductive traits. Please share widely. Details: https://t.co/5KFzF7oIxs

[Alison Pischedda @AlisonPischedda]

@AllisonLopatkin @pewhealth WOW! Wonderful news! Congrats!!

[Jen Perry @jennyperry]

Interested in postdoc research in evolution/sexual selection/evolutionary conflict, located @stfxuniversity on Canada's beautiful east coast?

Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships provide 2 years salary, no citizenship requirement. I'm happy to discuss proposal ideas, pls email!

[Alison Pischedda @AlisonPischedda]

This was a fun collaboration between our two PUI labs using @flydoctor1's impressive body size populations. Those small flies are *really* small.

[Alison Pischedda @AlisonPischedda]

New paper out in @JEvBio with @AvigayilLev and @flydoctor1 looking at life history changes associated with >400 gens of artificial selection on body size in #Drosophila. Main takeaway: egg size matters!

@IanDworkin @EJRideout We've also used small test tubes with foam plugs filled with a small amount of food using a repeater pipette

@mariadelapax @IUBloomington @IUBiology Just when we were about to be neighbors! But congratulations. This seems like a great fit for you both!
