I cannot believe there are this many Indonesians in #ESEB2025
After so long of being almost the only Indonesian in these kinds of conferences, I am just so happy to have found *literally* my people. I hope many more to come from Indonesia studying evolutionary biology around the EU 🥹

#ESEB2027 will be a hub meetings!
Not sure if I will can afford still be around EU at that time, but those who can please do join, it has been a fun experience.

Mike Ritchie reminded to publish in your society journals to keep things rolling. Overpriced journals from big publishers did not circle back their money to society!
Surprised the EU still need to be reminded, I thought many funding bodies acknowledged review-community platforms.

Johanna Mappes on figuring out what behind the aposematic colors of tiger moth. Apparently predator community affects how the morphs alter in frequency.
I like how researchers increasingly acknowledge their shortcomings on their scientific process; it encourages early career researchers!

Charissa de Bekker on what I think should be titled "what they do not tell you about the zombie fungi" because apparently there are a lot of things need to be achieved by the fungi in the molecular level before the behavioural manipulation happens.

Had a blast presenting my postdoc projects from @popgendk.bsky.social at #ESEB2025: figuring out the conservation units of topis from Africa & the selection pressure on the introgression landscape of Indonesian admixed cattles. Thanks for those who came by & gave really useful comments!

I am definitely biased here but I enjoyed Love Dalén talk on deep-time phylogenomics where ancient samples are changing the divergence times of some species & seeing some genes did not mutate until the last 700ky & how his cool idea gets rejected multiple times.

Pierre Veron on an attempt bridging microevolutionary process with macroevolution. Apparently with a very high mutation rate it is difficult to speciate because you cannot get fixation and enough divergence to behave as separate species.

If you are into figuring out whether some species actually exist in small population or they are a continuous bunch, I will be talking (or asking your input) at P02.096 #ESEB2025 about these guys today in the even-numbered minutes! Guess what they are before you came to my poster 👀

I think Jane Reid's talk, the very few animal among the plants on the assisted gene flow symposium, was v cool. No plotholes, you just cannot skip a second of it. Apparently immigrant sparrows decreases fitness of locals? Outbreeding depression due to immigration load actually happened?

Not a Daphnia person so did not expect I will enjoy Dieter Ebert's talk on Daphnia and its parasites but then he goes to show evidence of balancing selection from a decade into 15 MILLION YEARS AGO. I know the title said that but I did not expect to that many years. Cool lifetime work.

You just don't do first meiotic division? I am shamefully late to Beatriz Vicoso talk but I am on time to hear on how Artemia likely develop their asexuality through the removal of one protein that incapacitate their spindle forming in the oocyte.

The room of the methods symposium was packed for Aurelien Tellier talking about using more than just SNPs in your SMC models!
Do not try to read that QR code it was a transition matrix (yes I am the loser that thinks the transition matrix was a QR code)

Starting strong with Michael Lynch's talk at #ESEB2025 about how natural selection does a lot of things and the subtle implications of the playing rules may not what it seems at first glance.

Are you going to #ESEB2025 in Barcelona this week? Have a go to one or both my posters on Monday and Tuesday, especially if you want to discuss about detecting selection in introgressed genomes or defining population structure on a taxonomically inflated species 👀

We wrote in Suiform Soundings, managed by The IUCN SSC Wild Pig Specialist Group, about using high-throughput sequencing to get DNA from babirusa's skull to encourage field works to collect samples no matter how bad because you still can get DNA from it.

We checked whether purging happened with the long term inbreeding in the small islands apparent from these results, and using a composite likelihood approach inspired by sweep finder, we found that the SFS of the high impact mutations from the small islands shifted from expected distribution.

The taxa-specific trend continues until the genomic load, which we able to do thanks to the bskyless Alberto Carmagnini.
Babirusa has highest load, with most on the north of the large island. No difference across the large island for anoa, indicating different demography despite similar space.

We discuss some possibilities in the paper. Meanwhile, the bskyless Rosie Drinkwater & our collaborators was checking on their habitat suitability across the islands (H forest cover, I anoa, J babirusa).
Turns out small islands has the highest suitability among all the islands!

In terms of genomw-wide diversity, both follows this well known trend: larger pop are more diverse & has lower inbreeding.
We were surprised by high inbreeding on the SE part of the large island for babirusa, which has more ROH than even the small island pop. Anoa does not follow the same pattern.

Geology & evolution happens then, & the star of the story here, anoa (the buffalo-looking one) & babirusa (the pig looking one) roam across the islands somehow so that at the 19th century we end up with their distribution like the first fig: big island has both, small islands each has one of them.

What actually happens?
First, I would like to emphasise the beautiful study system that is Wallacea. Islands of different sizes received biodiversity at similar times. The big mammals' pop increases at ~2Mya when the islands start increase in land mass.
