One of my PhD chapters is out today! Three generations of great tits and hundreds of reversal learning tests reveal limited repeatability and no heritability of cognitive flexibility. Shoutout to @KvanOers, @KotrschalA and John Quinn for their guidance.

Curious how butterflies evolve across Europe? Me too!!!
Let's join forces in sampling butterflies and moths across Europe, studying their evolution across latitudes and through seasons.

For those headed to #evolution2023, you can catch up on what we've been doing! - @Square_Hare's talk about the Signature of Early Y Chromosome Divergence on the Guppy Sex Chromosome is on Saturday at 11:15 in Pecos 230... 1/5

🚨Preprint!
Sex ratio is under strong selection. With random mating, frequency dependence leads to a 50:50 ratio, but in patchy populations, female bias evolves. You might think that this is a solved problem, thanks to decades of theory starting with Hamilton. You’d be wrong! 🧵

New paper out in @journal_evo ! 🥳
Inspired by bowerbirds, we explore a new theoretical evolutionary possibility for sexual conflict: females may “remodel” males’ capacity to sexually coerce to expand their own freedom of mate choice @yale_eeb @IASToulouse doi.org/10.1093/evolut/qpad0…

The EU Council is continuing to debate a law that would require communication providers to scan all communications, potentially including end-to-end encrypted conversations. And they are now debating including audio conversations as well.

Well, I thought this had been on the twittersphere but I can't find it now. Deadline in a week May 19. I know I'm biased but I think this is a cool project for a PhD student. Butterflies, heat stress, fertility. Field work in Spain and Sweden.

What is the cause of sex-biased gene expression? @IDarolti used single cell RNASeq to determine the role of regulatory versus developmental differences in sex-biased genes and their evolution rates. Now out at @Evolutionletters! academic.oup.com/evlett/adva…
