🔥 New paper from my PhD out in @commsbio.nature.com 🔥

🌱 How do seed traits shape plants life?

🧬 We show the link between the genetic architecture of adaptation in seed traits, climate and pollinator communities in the wild plant Brassica incana.

Genomic signatures of adaptation in seed traits in the wild plant Brassica incana - Communications Biology
A study conducted on the wild plant Brassica incana identifies a complex genetic architecture underlying seed trait adaptation and shows how several candidate genes overlap with those involved in adap...

Thanks everyone for attending the hack-a-thon!
Great two days of BES data/code hack-a-thon. 111 people (in person + online) collating data and chatting about open science. Big take homes so far: people ❤️ open science; data/code archiving means different things to different people; we can make some simple improvements with big impacts!

My first solo author paper is now available in early view at Methods in Ecology and Evolution! I develop a covariance reaction norm (CRN) model for estimating continuous, multivariate, and nonlinear environmental effects on G and P matrices.

Covariance reaction norms: A flexible method for estimating complex environmental effects on trait (co)variances
Estimating quantitative genetic and phenotypic (co)variances is crucial for investigating evolutionary ecological phenomena such as developmental integration, life history trade-offs and niche spe...

My NSF PRFB on the genetics of female polymorphism in hummingbirds was terminated yesterday.

I don't have much to say, I'm just sad. We've discovered so much, and could have gone so much further.

If anyone else is in the same boat, esp postdocs, please reach out, it would be good to connect.
