New paper by former MSc student @christeinecke.bsky.social! ⭐ A behemoth effort to apply artificial selection on clonal reproduction in #Mimulus guttatus. We show that clonality evolves quickly, but not symmetrically in both directions, and multivariate life history traits are altered too! 🧪🌾

Introgression and Parental Conflict Underlie Repeated Occurrences of Postzygotic Isolation
Postzygotic reproductive isolation is often thought to accumulate as a byproduct of neutral divergence. Yet, it frequently evolves rapidly, in line with non-neutral evolution. A major driver of intrin...

Is this platform useful for asking biology questions? 🌾🧪
Question for my plant-peeps:
Is there something newer and better than microsatellites for assessing paternity? (where newer and better means cheaper and easier?) Have field arrays, known parents, need to genotype offspring seed for paternity.

Today, the ERC formally adopted a decision to increase its support for researchers moving to Europe.
On top of its normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories / research teams in Europe.
This extra funding is now x2 (up to €2 million!)
