Despite their strikingly different plumage, carrion and hooded crows show strong asymmetrical gene flow hidden beneath the feathers #hybridzone #evolution #demography #bird

Compartmentalization reduces conflict in multipartner plant-insect symbioses
Many symbioses involve one host species having several mutualist partners, yet theory predicts that unrelated symbionts lead to destabilizing conflict through competition for host resources. We combin...

Is there an independent role of epigenetic variation in speciation? We looked for answers in the crow hybrid zone.
In brief: DNA seems to be in the driving seat.

Congrats Justin! This was a long journey.

This was a very interesting collaboration on how tricky is it to implement ATAC-seq on different insect species 🪲 🐝 🐜

You want to apply #ATACseq in your emerging model organism, but you don't know where to start? Is #ATACseq the best method for my research questions? Search no more! We got you covered with our new review: doi.org/10.1002/jez.... Excellent collaboration with @gevol.bsky.social

@anaevolcatalan.bsky.social @hoehna.bsky.social @stusso.bsky.social @ulrikacandolin.bsky.social et al. analyse genomes of the European firefly, revealing a complex demographic history shaped by glaciation and sex-biased dispersal.

This work shows the first overview on the population genetics and demographic history of the big European firefly, **Lampyris noctiluca**. Feeling very happy this work is out :) academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...
