New MacColl lab paper "On the origins of phenotypic parallelism in benthic and limnetic stickleback" in Molecular Biology & Evolution @MolBioEvol doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msad1…
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.

📣 We have a funded @ENVISIONDTP PhD open for applications 📣 on the effect of environ metals on AMR in the stickleback microbiome🦠🐟
Supervisory team includes myself, @MacColl_Lab, &

Did the benthic and limnetic stickleback in BC have a single origin?
Manuscript now on @biorxivpreprint

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.

Nice work Stu! This is an important result for #ecoimmunology
Our new paper is now online @Ecol_Evol: Relationships between immune gene expression and circulating cytokine levels in wild house mice (with @JFennBio, @ElenaArriero, @MacColl_Lab and others not on Twitter...)

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

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
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/msz16…

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
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
We've an exciting new paper out in @EvolLetters showing that Stickleback fish adapt predictably to acidic conditions #evolution #genetics #Genomics
New on @EvolLetters EarlyView from Haenel et al: Predictable genome‐wide sorting of standing genetic variation during parallel adaptation to basic versus acidic environments in stickleback fish onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Correction the closing date is this Sunday (27th). Applications will be accepted here: envision-dtp.org/2018/holey-…
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/ProjectD…
