🎙️ New podcast!

We often hear that invasive species are bad for ecosystems they invade, but the consequences can seem fuzzy.

We hear from @naikasanuchara.bsky.social and @carolboggs.bsky.social about their study system, where an invasive plant has very tangible effects for a native butterfly.

🎤 🦎New Heredity Podcast:

The genomes of organisms can tell us about evolutionary processes in the past - but can they also give clues about the future?

André Yves and Fernanda Werneck tell us about their work on climate adaptation in Amazonian lizards.

Heredity Podcast

Many Anolis lizards have a sail of colourful skin on their throats which they use to communicate, but how does something like that evolve? Find out with researchers Renata Pirani, Carlos Arias and Mike Logan

New Heredity Podcast!

Frank Burbrink and Ed Myers talk about their recent work on American Racers.

Spatial patterns, hybridisation and why the shapes of evolutionary trees might be more complex than we thought.

New #HeredityPodcast:
Genomics is about patterns, but finding them, or even knowing what to look for, is difficult. In this episode we talk to Noah Simon about the clever approaches he took to investigating the genomics of neuronal regeneration in mice.

New #HeredityPodcast:​
Down in the engine room of a scientific journal are its associate editors, they arbitrate the peer-review process and make the whole system run. Heredity's newest editor is Diala Abu Awad, here we find out a bit about her and her work.
