Flycatchers next: Yishu Zhu showed exciting results on mitochondrial performance in relation to competition in nestlings & I spoke about the molecular basis of interactions between sperm & reproductive tract fluid in these hybridizing birds @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social @animecol-uu.bsky.social 🧪👩🏼‍🔬🪶🌡️🐛

Sexual selection can be good, bad & ugly with negative consequences of sexual conflict for population demographics. David Berger @dbergerbiol.bsky.social shows that these effects may be reversed when environmental complexity is considered.

Anna Qvarnström @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social presents: "inheritance of wealth" (territory quality) in collared flycatchers.We looked at phenotypic & genomic predictors of resource acquisition over 20years on Öland. Work under review together with @erynmcfarlane.bsky.social & many others.

Germline removal increased stress resistance in both sexes, but increased lifespan only in males, and only when high costs of mating were excluded (above). Germline removal reduced growth but more so in females. Germline maintenance seems costlier for males than for females. 2/2

Hi @danirabaiotti.bsky.social ! It's @muriellealund.bsky.social here trying to migrate our lab's account to Bluesky on behalf of Pr. Anna Qvarnström. Thankful if we can be added to the science feed. Here is our official lab page: www.ieg.uu.se/animal-ecolo...
