New preprint out from the lab, including @rroyaute.bsky.social:
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
In this we test what we refer to as the "standard model" of behavioral variation.
This was inspired by recent work identifying intra-genotypic variation as a major contributor to "individuality".

Clonally-reproducing species are weird. Sexually reproducing species still rely on combination of genetic + environmental cues to generate individuality like any self-respecting organism would.

Go work with Ned! He’s a wonderful scientist and mentor (plus, the subject looks really cool 😁)
I have a PhD position open to start fall semester 2025!
The position will include investigations of the structure of both phenotypic (behavioral) plasticity and genetic variation in behavior as well as lots of opportunity to develop your own project.

Myself & colleagues (none on bluesky) have a new paper out in PNAS. We simulated the evolution of populations on different landscapes and examined the effects of landscape type on G matrices. We then compared the simulated Gs to ~150 estimates of G from 60 species. (1/10)
