Good morning #ESEB2025, check out my poster P03.008 and discuss about how fishy is fish DNA, demography analysis, massive inversions, ultra-long ONT sequencing for de novo assemblies, structural variation genotyping…. and everything!

How many convergent switches in Müllerian mimicry can be explained by parallel evolution at ivory and optix genes? Amazing work by Ben Chehida, Dasmahapatra, Meier et al.! doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Extraordinary convergence in Muellerian mimicry due to re-use of the same genes again and again!

New study from the Lab! Jinyang Liang assesses the possibility of inferring ancestral alleles (aka allele polarization) without outgroup sequence, using the ancestral recombination graph (ARG) alone. Here are some of our findings. (1/5)

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/a...
Common misconceptions of speciation
Abstract. Speciation is a complex process that can unfold in many different ways. Speciation researchers sometimes simplify core principles in their writin
