Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

🐻New preprint🐻
We analysed WGS data from the Apennine brown bear—a small and isolated population which has coexisted with humans for millennia—and found unique genomic diversity, including adaptation associated with reduced aggressiveness.

We have a new pre-print!
If you are interested in #smallpopulations, here we show how selection may shape behavioral traits in small isolated populations. We also show selective signatures at genes associated with reduced aggressiveness, possibly involving alternative splicing

What can genome sequence data reveal about population viability? (And equally important, what CAN'T it reveal??) These are key questions that @martykardos.bsky.social, Lukas Keller, and I address in our new paper in a Molecular Ecology special issue: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

We’re delighted to share our latest preprint from the Hogenhout lab (@saskiahogenhout.bsky.social) on the molecular mechanisms on plant-aphid interactions. Here we show how the aphid Mp10 effector protein acts as a local anaesthetic to suppress the plant perception of aphid attack
