Excited to be at @eseb2025.bsky.social and have our lab so well represented!

Oceane Seudre presented developmental and comparative genomics analyses of wing pattern plasticity in African butterflies, and @marcushicks.bsky.social presented his latest discoveries on tropical reproductive diapause.

On this week’s cover of The Lancet, a new letter: “Gaza’s healthocide: medical societies must not stay silent”.

Read the letter and more in our latest issue: tinyurl.com/5n85x448
Cover of The Lancet's Oct 4, 2025 issue. Cover quote reads: "Most medical and surgical societies worldwide have remained silent or issued vague statements about Gaza's healthocide [...] Staying silent while pretending to be neutral is, in effect, a form of complicity."

Low-coverage sequencing (LCS) + genotype imputation is a cost-effective approach to genotype hundreds of samples at a full-genome level. But how do different imputation tools perform across populations with varying relatedness and inbreeding?

Sex or growth? Life must continually balance these strategies. We forced yeast to choose and captured the trade-off in real time. Evolution rewired existing regulators and fixed them through genetic assimilation, creating specialists for sex at the cost of growth.

Does phenotypic plasticity promote (Baldwin effect) or hinder (Mayr) genetic adaptation? Lambert et al. mathematically show that when adaptive plasticity increases, the Baldwin effect increases, peaks then decreases as plasticity begins to mask selection.
