Just in time for her #eseb2025 poster on Thursday, @squarehare.bsky.social 's paper on the Poecilia bifurca sex chromosomes was published today academic.oup.com/g3journal/ad...

I’m really sorry to be missing #eseb2025, but for those sorting out their conference plan there are several lab talks and posters about what we are up to. Spoiler, they aren't all talking about guppies, or even fish! 1/n

“Previously, people thought perhaps males realized that if they were more orange, they were more sexy,” explains Dr. Judith Mank of @zoology.ubc.ca.

Interested in sex chromosomes evolution and want to wrap up today’s talks on a colorful note? Come see my presentation on guppy sex chromosomes today, July 8th! 🐠

#CSEE2025
⌚16h15, 📍 Lac Memphrémagog

Hey #CSEE2025 interested in flowers, natural selection, urbanization or any combination of the three?
I’m presenting results of my thesis at 11am today in the urban ecology session (Rivière Coaticook)

You have to come and see the talk of @jeromeburkiewicz.bsky.social that will test if urbanization affects natural selection by pollinator on flower shape.
#CSEE2025

It is at 11:00 in Rivière Coaticook

Amazing work from Jérôme Burkiewicz! A fascinating look at how urbanization shapes pollinator communities and flower traits across multiple cities, and natural vs. controlled settings. This study reveals both plastic and genetic responses to urbanization in Southeastern Canada—go check it out!

Je suis heureuse d’annoncer l’obtention d’une bourse postdoctorale du FRQ pour mon projet sur les conséquences de la perte de recombinaison génétique chez les guppys, dans le labo de Judith Mank (UBC)! Je présenterai ces travaux au #SCEE2025 à Sherbrooke cet été – au plaisir de vous y voir!

Probably don't have the reach on here yet - BUT:
I have a fully-funded four year PhD studentship available - the deadline is soon - November 25th - so please share if you can.
And let's connect if you are interested in #genedrive #pestcontrol #evobio

Fish biologists (or aspiring ones!):

There is a #stickleback stock center @uconn that supplies egg or adult stickleback (fees help cover operating costs). Check us out at www.sticklestock.com
(The website also has lots of protocols to help new researchers get started)

Hi, I'd love to be added to the list! :)

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for…registration for the 3rd Joint Congress on Evolutionary Biology is open! We hope that you will join us! #Evol2024 @sse-evolution.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social

Prof. Marc Johnson, chair of the board of @supportourscience.bsky.social (of which I am a member) has just penned this commentary in @theglobeandmail.com:

Stagnant investments in training and research compromise Canada’s economic growth

analysis of the inheritance of male coloration in guppies is now up! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Deep learning reveals the role of copy number variation in the genetic architecture of a highly polymorphic sexual trait

New paper alert! ✨

Mothers dictating how to reproduce? How weird! In a hybrid fish, however, that is the reality!

Check how maternal ploidy governs gonadal development into producing either sexual or asexual oocytes, all that in our new paper linked below!

Well, that's a strong case for declaring it a “work from home” kind of day 😉

Magnificent scene in Montreal this morning ❄️☃️

I love squirrels! Always looking like they want to ask you something but too shy to do so!

Dr. Tia-Lynn Ashman and I (Univ. of Pittsburgh) are also looking to co-advise a Ph.D. student to study the ecological and evolutionary impacts of whole genome duplication (polyploidy) using our duckweed polyploids. Details: tinyurl.com/5dvatu4c

Hello everyone! I'm Joëlle, a late PhD (UMontreal, CAN) starting her postdoc next January (UBC, CAN). I work on all things touching reproduction 🐣. My PhD was on the reproduction of weird hybrid fish🐟 (clones and stuff) and my postdoc is on the evolution of sexual chromosomes🧬!
Nice to meet you all!
