Adaptation to novel environments and the evolution of plasticity

[Greg Walter @natureantics]

Excited to see this out in @EvolLetters! Our large seed reciprocal transplant of two Senecio species shows how genetic variation changes across elevation. @jonrbridle @sometimesferns

Huge thanks to the editors and reviewers.

Our paper with @TheSwordLab on introgression from invasive Helicoverpa armigera to native H. zea in North America, out in @MolBioEvol @mel_rosina https://t.co/Bo0VfzuFVd

[Miles Roberts @MilesDaRoberts]

Super exited to share the second chapter of my dissertation with the world! TLDR; when we revisit Lewontin’s Paradox of Variation in plants with k-mers cool things happen (1/19) 🧵👀

[Silvia Matesanz @SMatesanz]

Check out our last paper on adaptive population differentiation in a Mediterranean shrub. We found clinal phenotypic variation driven by contrasting climatic conds. across pops.
Really happy to see Mario's last PhD chapter published. Enjoy!!

Excited to share that I'm now a few months into a postdoc at the University of Copenhagen - you know its real when you're on the group website https://t.co/fM0GP5rtth
Give us a follow to see what we get up to @EvoMorphoLab_KU and @evohologen !

New paper with @jeremydraghi and @HollyKindsvater out today in Proceedings B @RSocPublishing https://t.co/J4A0cPodcN

We show that changes in birth rate and death rate influence a population's chances of evolutionary rescue very differently. Bottom line: generation time matters!

[Ryan Folk 🐕 @ry_folk]

Check out our cool big paper on #Saxifraga, distinguishing biome shift from biogeographic shift in the Arctic-alpine system. Changing biome is easier than moving long-distance and Arctic-alpine transitions are mostly Plio-Pleistocene. https://t.co/sh2tVifwoe

[Guillaume Chomicki @Chomicki_G]

Thrilled to share our latest paper out in @Ecology_Letters!

We show that mutualisms impact trait evolution BEYOND the traits involved in the interaction.

Specialised mutualisms tend to stabilise traits, while generalist mutualisms favour change.

[Stephen Heard @StephenBHeard]

why most of my scientific papers aren't really all that exciting - and why that's perfectly OK and a normal part of how science advances. With bonus architecture analogy... https://t.co/t5uY3yGJkG

[Michael J. McDonald @MikeJayMcD]

🔬 Excited to share our latest work led by @An_T_N_Nguyen: testing whether Horizontal Gene Transfer can make reverse evolution happen. https://t.co/sCWLhQrnTc @NatureEcoEvo @MonashBiol @Monash_Science @CentreImpactAMR

[Evolution Letters @EvolLetters]

Environmental effects on genetic variance are likely to constrain adaptation in novel environments.

Now in @EvolLetters by Greg M Walter et al.

[David Berger @DBergerBiol]

Sexual selection can both aid and impede evolutionary rescue and has even been argued to drive species to extinction.

But how does the complexity of the environment affect the outcome?

Have a look at what we found here: https://t.co/O6OamadNqz
