@EvolOdonata Aspects of the Delph and Kelly paper sat on my desks for three years until I got John on board to coauthor it with me. And then my student Jay Goldberg and I realized that there was a natural experiment we could investigate (https://doi.org/10.1002/evl3.157).
Nice review—maybe it […]

New paper published together with John Welch on hybrid fitness and how it depends on ploidy and # of distinct ancestries, incl some remarkable fits of data & theory 😶. Keen to hear any thoughts/comments/questions! doi.org/10.1093/gene... Thanks to the team @ Genetics for the smooth experience :)
Predicting Hybrid Fitness: The Effects of Ploidy and Complex Ancestry
Abstract. Hybridization between divergent populations places alleles in novel genomic contexts. This can inject adaptive variation – which is useful for br

Modestly, we decided to review a century's worth of theories of balancing selection :) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
A century of theories of balancing selection
Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that natur...
