Asexual Amazon mollies differ morphologically from their sexual hosts, resembling P. mexicana when coexisting with P. latipinna hosts, and vice versa! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Our new paper in ProcB (doi.org/10.1098/rspb...) reveals that wild Amazon mollies develop host-specific shapes based on their sexual hosts. This exciting (and unexpected) finding sheds light on co-evolution dynamics in asexual-sexual systems. Looking forward to investigating this further!

It is time to officially move to Bluesky. I’m Waldir Miron, an Assistant Professor at the University of West Florida. My lab focuses on molecular and integrative biology to explore evolutionary questions, with a particular interest in reproductive biology variation and its connection to evolution.
