I need help evo folk... Do we have a name for selection on phenotypes that - across populations of a species - stops them diverging phenotypically (i.e. opposes divergence by drift, makes Qst<Fst). Stops divergence rather than causes convergence, sort of pop-level 'stabilising' process?

Can't wait to welcome @englishse.bsky.social to our @uniexecec.bsky.social seminar series in March!
Yesterday at THRU-ZIM, @englishse.bsky.social shared fascinating insights on how stress during pregnancy affects both mothers and offspring, drawing from evolutionary biology. The talk explored heatwaves, maternal susceptibility, and long-term impacts on child health. #MaternalHealth

PhD opp in behavioural Evo genetics with Ned Doctermann. Never been to North Dakota, I imagine it's cold. But if you want to do a PhD in a top notch group with a kind supportive supervisor it's probably a risk worth taking.
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.
