Excited to share my first first-author paper from my master’s work at @carleton.ca , with @andrew-m-simons.bsky.social and Myron Smith!
We explored how constraints on adaptation can aid the persistence of bet-hedging traits in the short term.

So happy for @shravanram95.bsky.social on the publication of his MSc work today showing constraint can be adaptive!
