Intergenomic discordance should reduce fitness, especially in older males. Well, @martingarlovsky.bsky.social et al., showed that it might not always be the case. 🪰

It has been a great #SEB2025 conference in Antwerp. Lovely to see so many old (and new!) friends and attend wonderful talks. Also very grateful to have been able to present my late work on mito-nuclear coevolution and ageing.
Such a wonderful event 🪰🧬🇧🇪 @sebiology.bsky.social .See you next year!

Our recent study, led by @marie-levet.bsky.social, shows that while temperature impacts cells & whole-body function, parasites mainly affect overall metabolism. Analyses from whole-animal to tissues and enzyme activities. Great work Marie! @stefanobettinazzi.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1365...
