Thanks very much to @MeropsField for their many contributions to the UoN Biodiversity field course in the Cevennes: very warm welcome, great food and wonderful biodiversity.

Parallelism provides evidence of natural selection, but studies with pre-selected taxon pairs are likely biased. We demonstrate parallelism in an intercontinental study of #stickleback, without bias. Congratulations Isabel Magalhaes, @jimwhiting_sci , @DanDagostino_ et al.

A new paper by Jim Whiting shows for the first time that summer day length results in changes to immune function in fish and a reduced ability to resist a parasitic infection, probably as a consequence of inducing breeding condition royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

The MacColl lab has a new manuscript out, describing genomic parallelism across multiple adaptive radiations of stickleback in Alaska, British Columbia, Scotland and Iceland: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interdisciplinary investigation into sympartric species-pairs... What do they look like? How reproductively isolated are they? How did they form? And why here and now? #science #biology #ecology #speciation #evolution #Genomics #stickleback
Laura Dean@Laura_L_Dean

What feels like my life's work is finally ready... our work on #speciation in sympatric #stickleback species-pairs is out in @MBE_press, a huge collaborative effort @AndrewFoote2 @DanDagostino_ @Suz_McG @MacColl_Lab & others not on twitter, thanks all! :) doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Our 'Virgin Mary' paper is out. Read it to find out about the #stickleback immaculate conception, pregnancy and virgin birth! rdcu.be/bnEWz @UoNLifeSci @UoNScience @UoNPressOffice
Laura Dean@Laura_L_Dean

We found a wild #stickleback (nicknamed the 'Virgin Mary'), pregnant with almost fully developed embryos, which are still alive today (see photo)!! Find out how we think it happened in our paper out today in @SciReports! (rdcu.be/bnEWz) #Evolution #Biology @FishSci

If you're looking for a PhD don't miss out on this great opportunity to join the @MacColl_Lab @UoNLifeSci @UoNresearch @UniofNottingham
MacColl Stickleback Lab@MacColl_Lab

Last chance to apply, fully funded #PhD combining #maths with #evolutionarybiology. A rare and fantastic opportunity for an interdisciplinary PhD. The closing date for applications is 25th Jan and not many applications have been received yet - don't miss out. #phdchat #phdlife

We've got another fantastic PhD opportunity in the @MacColl_Lab for a strongly mathmatically minded biologist or a maths / physics / engineering graduate with a penchant for evolutionary biology! findaphd.com/search/Project…
