How does limited dispersal influence the substitution rate of adaptive alleles? @MullonDlm and I look at this in our new study in Genetics: https://t.co/DUYtdsy1h2 In contrast to previous findings, we show that adaptation can be faster under limited dispersal!

Excited to share our new paper in @journal_evo! Me and @MullonDlm develop a new framework to investigate the influence of ecological inheritance on correlational selection, especially its role in the emergence of polymorphism #EvolutionaryBiology #Ecology https://t.co/S9Zv9fEqRt

Here is my commentary in @PNASNews about the recent paper on condition-dependent sexual selection and its consequences for females and populations by @EwanFlintham and colleagues with the figure properly displayed (photos by your truly):

New paper out in @PNASNews with @MullonDlm and Vincent Savolainen investigating the population consequences of sexual conflict. We find these effects can intensify with good genes sexual selection, causing reduced viability in high condition populations! https://t.co/eja9Z6nGCb

@jennyperry @DaniedmundsDani @StuartWigby cool! any idea if this translates into behaviour towards females (e.g. harm)?

New collaborative work with @GabYvonDurocher, @paquiydeleite, and @CleggTomshowing that that mutualistic/cooperative species interactions can (will?) amplify the temperature sensitivity of microbial community respiration: https://t.co/uMyYU62irv

More reason to think social ecology is a crucial consideration for the outcome of sexual antagonisms!

Very excited to share our new preprint from me, @drandygardner, and @lross_evoento, on ‘Sexual antagonism in haplodiploids’. All comments/feedback welcome!

Our new paper on modelling double drives and private alleles for localised population genetic control is now published in PLOS Genetics! #genedrive

(3) In the presence of genetic drift, dispersal has complex effects on the long-term maintenance of SA variation as it simultaneously modulates the strength of SA selection (through kin competition), and the effective population size.

[Ewan Flintham @EwanFlintham]

New paper out in @ASNAmNat with @MullonDlm & Vincent Savolainen, where we look at how limited dispersal influences the fate of sexually antagonistic alleles (in particular effects of inbreeding and kin competition): https://t.co/3stJ2ypnY8

[Ewan Flintham @EwanFlintham]

(2) The introduction of kin competition leads to weaker selection on competitiveness, and where this differs between the sexes (e.g. due to sex differences in dispersal), SA alleles favouring the sex competing less with kin fix more easily.
