What happens when 300+ scientists analyse the same data? Not the same answer! Lessons about staying open to alternate explanations, don't rush to judge, more than one "truth" in nature🤔 Grateful to contribute to this amazing initiative. Read it for free: doi.org/10.1186/s12915…

A splendid paper on Danai's important research on aquatic invasion, evolution and ecological change. Done as a PhD student at @Peterhouse_Cam . It's been great to see this develop over the past few years. Well done to all involved.

We also found evidence of higher genomic differentiation in regions associated with embryo development and environmental stress responses, across multiple invaded lakes, suggesting a repeatable adaptive response of a native prey species to an invasive predator! 🧬

We discovered that embryo size consistently increased across lakes that have been invaded by the spiny water flea, and those changes were often accompanied by significant genetic differentiation between core tops/bottoms aka before/after spiny water flea establishment.
