New lab effort with @MurielleAlund @carosegami Yishu Zhu, @menon_navaneeth & @JacanaJones. We find signs of #hybrid inviability in a system where only sterility was documented, but also surprising demographic patterns only detected thanks to long term data! #evolution #speciation

Huge congratulations to Dr. Ester Martínez Renau @estermartre, who received a scholarship from the Lawski Foundation to start a postdoc position in my group at @AnimEcol_UU this autumn! 🎉 Ester will lead the project of flycatcher diet-microbiome associations. 🐦

A new MSc fledges the lab! bsky.app/profile/muriel…

The 23rd year of flycatcher monitoring on Öland is fully on! See here for updates: bsky.app/profile/qvarns… #ornithology #qvarnstromlab #fieldwork #flycatcher #longtermstudy

Yishu Zhu presents her PhD's half time seminar @AnimEcol_UU, summarizing her thesis' research questions, results & future plans. Let's dive into high resolution #metabolic measurements, #evolution of mito-nuclear incompatibilities & divergent #climate adaptation in #flycatchers.

I'm looking for a postdoc who wants to apply for an upcoming scholarship to come to Uppsala and join my research group for 2 yrs. The project is on hybrid flycatchers and diet-microbiome associations 🐦 Project is already ready, samples have been collected + more this spring.

We have a few fully funded positions in the lab. Including a PhD position on #Migration, #Genomics, and #Conservation. Check our our website delmorelab.com/recruitment! #jobopening #PhDposition

🦴🧬 Two PhD positions 🧬🦴 We are seeking two PhD students to join @love_dalen's @ERC_Research project using #DeepTime mammalian palaeogenomes to study evolutionary change on a million-year timescale. Deadline: 5 Nov Please spread the word! Apply: su.se/english/about-…

Come join our department at @linneuni. We have a tenure track position in forest ecology with a good chunk of research in the mix. Read more here: lnu.se/en/meet-linnae… Tweeps, you know what to do - please spread the word!

Congratulations to Yishu Zhu & @MurielleAlund in our group, and all other young researchers that received funding. We are very grateful to the Foundation for Zoological Research for their support over the years, essential to the continuation of #fieldwork & long term monitoring.

New paper out by lab members @MurielleAlund & Anna Qvarnström. How do human activities impact processes of speciation & despeciation? How can we study speciation in the context of human disturbance & preserve ecosystems in ways that promote divergence & biodiversity? @AnimEcol_UU

I am co-supervising a PhD position in collective animal behaviour with @JHerbertread in Cambrdige and we are currently looking for a good candidate. Apply now! zoo.cam.ac.uk/projects/colle…

Evolution of schooling drives changes in neuroanatomy & motion characteristics across predation contexts in guppies. By @CorralLopezA out at @NatureComms! nature.com/articles/s4146…. w @KotrschalA @Garate_Olaizola @JHerbertread @_Axeman_ @MaksymRomenskyy Niclas Kolm and others.

Fascinating insights into the #climatechange, #speciation and #genomics studies on #flycatchers by Anna and her team in the @QvarnstromLab!

Pied and collared flycatcher hybrids are sterile - structural variations (SV) may be involved in their differentiation and speciation, particularly translocations and inversions. Thanks for presenting your research Carina Mugal to #SMBE2023 @QvarnstromLab

My bet is they are here to watch you until you leave @JacanaJones and all!

Exciting talk from our collaborator from @NHMOslo_Science ! Read more about it here: pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…
