Can species adapt to a changing world? Where in the genome does adaptation occur? A study in great tits found clear genetic and epigenetic differences between selection lines for early vs late lay date

📣 Come work with us! 🎉

#PDRA position in my group @EEB_Sheffield on the #evolution and #genomics of sexual signals in stalk-eyes flies!

Exciting questions and methods, awesome study system, and a friendly group and department.

Excited to host the 6th Annual Seasonality Symposium this Friday, December the 1st from 900-1830h. There is an excellent group of speakers talking about the latest advances in seasonal research across the spectrum of life. All online and free to attend. Please DM for zoom details

Our ecologist's guide for studying DNA methylation variation appeared in an issue. The cover illustration made by @KristavdHeuvel illustrates the route from animal to environment. https://t.co/keyWVzJgfa

Early birds of the future: earlier, but still too late?

Our researchers @AnimalEcol_NIOO took a sneak peek into the birds’ future, to predict the future impact of climate change on nature.

In a 3-year genomic selection experiment in the wild involving more than 2000 Dutch great tits, researchers found that the birds’ reproductive success was not affected by laying eggs early or late in the season. https://t.co/xIZP4ok0Wz

Excited to see our paper on genomic selection in wild great tits out in @ScienceAdvances. Grateful to have contributed to this big team effort with @JipRamakers, Irene Verhagen, @babi_mt, Christa Mateman, Phillip Gienapp & @m_e_visser! https://t.co/1jmp46PS1r

It is great that I can combine my hobby as photographer with being a scientist. So proud that my picture landed on the cover of @molecology with the paper of @Me_Lindner as the reason for this! https://t.co/LiUTnrQKzG

1/6 #BOU2023 #SESH1 In times of global warming, species need to adjust to their changing world. Seasonally breeding bird species can do so via shifts in phenology traits. An evolutionary response toward a shifted phenology will occur only if such a shift has a fitness benefit.

[Melanie Lindner @Me_Lindner]

5/6 #BOU2023 #SESH1 Selection lines differed in lay dates in the wild. There was no effect of genomic selection for early and late lay dates on fitness, in line with a weak effect of lay date on reproductive success for non-selected females in the years of the experiment.

Get your abstracts ready and join us for the #SMBE2023 symposium #15 “Animal genomics goes wild” - submission closes March 15! https://t.co/YLPqLa2jtC

With @m_e_visser @indianadiez @andersbrgstrm and two fantastic invited speakers @SuseJohnston & @ElineLorenzen

[Anders Bergström @andersbrgstrm]

The Lord then said to Noah, "Take with you a genomics abstract for every kind of animal, submit it to #SMBE2023 symposium #15". Don't miss our Noah's Ark of wild animal genomics (#aDNA too!), invited speakers @SuseJohnston & @ElineLorenzen, w/ @Me_Lindner @m_e_visser @indianadiez
