Using extensive data on external morphology of pygmy and marbled newts, we explored how allometry influences sexual size dimorphism. While sexes share a common allometric slope, species show significant divergences in slope directions:

Infecting five fly host genotypes with isolates from distinct lineages of the obligate insect pathogenic fungus Entomophthora muscae shows - genetic makeup of both pathogen and host influence infectivity, confirming GxG interactions:

Patterns of dietary convergence, rather than host phylogenetic history, seems to be an important driver of microbial community composition between several Sonoran cactophilic Drosophila species:

Research with satellite DNA in a contact zone between closely related lineages of frogs with different sex chromosomes reveals a cline in the number of autosomal clusters, indicating random assortment

Thanks to all the editors of this special issue @MasahitoTsuboi@evoNicki@Phylogenetrips and @GaboriauT in @JEvBio for inviting me to design the cover.
It has been a first time and fun to mix one of my hobbies with my passion for science. I hope is the first of many more!
A great theme issue about the micro/macroevolution discussion in @JEvBio, compiled by my colleague @MasahitoTsuboi at @Biology_LU @lunduniver, @Phylogenetrips and @GaboriauT!
Nice to have contributed (a small part) to one of several interesting articles in this issue.
We compared 2080 songs from 72 individual black-capped and mountain chickadees in sympatry and allopatry. Sympatric mountain chickadee song differs markedly from all other populations, consistent with character displacement theory

Introgressed ancestry from popular #sportfish species the Smallmouth Bass has conferred phenotypic homogenization and potential constraints on body condition in native Neosho Bass in the Ozark Highlands:

Experimental evolution of reduced resistance to toxic males under selection for faster development and early reproduction – connecting #lifehistory and #sexualconflict

@ChristophNetz shows that if offspring prevent parents from renewed reproduction, Hamilton's force of selection increases before maturity. Sibling replacement thus leads to a reduced force of selection and mutation accumulation at early life stages:

What does sexual size dimorphism (SSD) mean in terms of combat performance differences between the sexes? We explored this question looking at bite force in Anolis lizards in this new @JEvBio paper:
