Finally out: Predicting adaptation to climate warming www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We find that there are many genomic routes to heat-adaptation, but this can also make genomic data of limited value for prediction. A tour de force by @denovorego.bsky.social , with @stelkens.bsky.social.

Repeatability of evolution and genomic predictions of temperature adaptation in seed beetles - Nature Ecology & Evolution

The authors compare genomic and phenotypic changes between genetic backgrounds of seed beetles evolved at hot or cold temperatures. Despite phenotypic changes being more rapid and predictable at hot t...

A much deserved award to the mother of climate change ecology and dear Euphydryas collaborator, Camille. Her story is one of resilience and fighting to study what she believed was important, not what was trendy at the time. www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

What an amazing week at the @floridamuseum.bsky.social We digitised >800 Euphydryas editha, sampled hundreds of legs for genomics, and was given access to Mattoon’s incredible California butterfly collection. Thanks @vmshirey.bsky.social Anisha Sapkota and Andrei Sourakov for all your help
