For a while (many years!) back, @eseb.bsky.social gave us €€€ to form a Special Topic Network. Formally, the network no longer exists, but informally for sure AND we can now pick the fruits of our labours! Here is one and the next post shows another... Thank you ESEB! 🙏
Modestly, we decided to review a century's worth of theories of balancing selection :) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
A century of theories of balancing selection

Finally ready to see the world! Theories of balancing selection - past, present and future: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A true collaborative effort that brought together theoreticians and empiricists, models, data, and fresh perspectives on how balancing selection can shape genetic variation.
