NEW PAPER: During three years, we selected Arabidosis plants with the same DNA sequence to be taller, amongst other things. We sequenced their DNA and methylations. We obtained bigger plants and observed changes in epigenetic frequencies. Quantifying the epigenetic response to selection: done!

Grente: killing wolves reduces livestock attacks in France, with much variability. Attack reduction is usually over short temporal (2-3 mo) and spatial (a few km) scales. Much stronger effects of multiple VS single removals. peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10....

In our new preprint lead by @pietropollo.bsky.social we show how to use meta-analysis to compare not sample means but also kurtosis & skewness, as well as within-group covariance between multiple groups. The era of meta-analyzing whole distributions is here ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Our new research paper out today peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10.... clownfish fitness: driven by host anemone species, spatial distribution, and NOT driven by host anemone depth and density as thought before #OpenScience #clownfish #marinelife #CRIOBE #adaptation

📖This issue features our Calow-Grace review, by @annecharmantier.bsky.social and team! The review evaluated the peer-reviewed literature for studies that measured and compared natural selection in urban versus non-urban habitats🏙️

🚨 Postdoc alert! 🚨
Come and work with Alastair Wilson, @bfraser.bsky.social and myself @exetercec.bsky.social on a NERC-
funded project that combines behavioural ecology, quantitative genetics and genomics in guppies. And all that in beautiful Cornwall🏖️🏄‍♂️⛵️! More info t.co/xFh8RNpoO6
