Apply! And please take note of the guidance we wrote as a committee-- eseb.org/wp-content/u...
We really tried hard to take the mystery out of the evaluation process, and spell out explicitly what we look for in a GHMA proposal.

We are in Bluesky and we are happy to share our two last consortium publications: the DrosEU expanded DEST dataset and a Continent-wide study of phenotypic differentiation among European #Drosophila melanogaster populations (1/7)

Many thanks to those of you who participated in this survey, and to my collaborators.
Hopefully someone finds it useful!

Evolution of Wolbachia male-killing mechanism within a host species
Male-killing bacterial symbionts, prevalent in arthropods, skew population sex ratios by selectively killing male progeny, profoundly impacting ecology and evolution of their hosts. Male-killing is a ...

Preprint finally out! I show that eco-evo feedback can drive a tipping point where genetic drift overwhelms adaptation. This can result in a contraction of a species' range border or range fragmentation. Fragmentation is abrupt and arises readily under rapid temporal change. doi.org/10.1101/2025...
