Claudia Bank's (@cbank.bsky.social) research group, Theoretical Ecology and Evolution (THEE) is now on Bluesky! I posted a thread showing some of the group's publications from 2025 to get the account going. Please consider following the group for updates related to ecology and evolution 😀
🧬 Our 2025 review is here!
A (very belated) Happy New Year from the THEE group! From transcription factor evolution to microbiomes, epistasis, biodiversity, and antimicrobial resistance — here’s a thread highlighting our group’s contributions to research in 2025 👇

We're running an ethics-approved, pre-registered study thanks to funding from the University of Bern.

Are you lecturing in the Spring?

A new (and improved) version of the fantastic BES’s reproducible code guide is now live.

Seriously amazing resource for those wanting to produce code that enables reproducible research.

Featuring some SORTEE members and also code review!!

@sortee.bsky.social
Excited to launch the new improved Reproducible Code guide from @britishecologicalsociety.org @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social FREE online here! www.britishecologicalsociety.org//wp-content/... Amazing work by some very talented ECRs. We hope it’s useful!

It's in print! My opinionated dive into the definition of "coevolution" is officially out in the December issue of @journal-evo.bsky.social

doi.org/10.1093/evol...
Don't ask “when is it coevolution?”—ask “how?”
Abstract. Coevolution has come to be widely understood as specific, simultaneous, reciprocal adaptation by pairs of interacting species. This strict-sense

I wrote a guide on constructive peer review. This is a polished version of an internal guide I had for my group. Of course, constructive feedback is welcome, peers!

Looking forward to this! A non-Elsevier alternative to Theoretical Population Biology / Journal of Theoretical Biology
Population Biology Modeling & Theory (PBMT) is a peer-reviewed journal reporting advances in modeling and theory within population biology. Its scope spans demography, ecology, epidemiology, evolutionary biology, population genetics, and phylogenetics. PBMT will be online soon.

My paper with @schmidmax.bsky.social and @charlesmullon.bsky.social is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social 🌟 doi.org/10.1093/evol... 🌟 We show how the effect of longevity on local adaptation, rather than being unidirectional, depends on the life cycle and how frequent selection is relative to dispersal
The evolution of local adaptation in long-lived species
Abstract. Many species experience heterogeneous environments and adapt genetically to local conditions. The extent of such local adaptation depends on a ba

Check out my first PhD paper on between-species genetic interactions (intergenomic epistasis) with @cbank.bsky.social 🌿↔️🦠✨ We define intergenomic epistasis mathematically and highlight its potential in understanding co-evolution :)
