Finally out - Our new study on predicting adaptation to climate warming! nature.com/articles/s4155… We find that there are many genomic routes to heat-adaptation, but this can also make genomic data of limited value for prediction. A tour de force by @DeNovoRego, with @StelkensLab.

Job alert! We have a postdoc position available in the Stelkens Lab at Stockholm University. Join us and apply experimental evolution and comparative genomics in the model system yeast to test for parallel climate adaptation. #Evolution #yeast #genomics

Outsourcing writing to LLMs may cost us more than time — it risks losing the chance to reflect, create, and craft meaningful narratives, a skill essential well beyond academic publishing Can´t agree more with this @natrevbioeng editorial nature.com/articles/s4422…

New meta-analysis: "do lifetime contest costs affect the evolution of assessment strategies?" buff.ly/ownsc5s

Excited to release a huge evolution project on the works for many years: An experimental evolution project across climates to understand rapid adaptation Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… All data available: grene-net.org/data #MOILAB @UCBerkeley @HHMINEWS 🧵👇

📣Call for Proposals!📣 🔋Our cross-journal special feature "Energy trade-offs under changing environments" is open to proposals! 💡Aim: To understand essential energy processes in the context of environmental change 👉Find out more: buff.ly/gvMdp1C @AnimalEcology

And now, we also have a 2-year postdoc position in the Stelkens Lab! 🧪 If you are interested in parallel evolution, genomics, yeast, and climate adaptation, this could be for you! Please apply through U Stockholm's job platform here: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

The first many-analysts study in ecology is finally published! 🥳🙌 300+ coauthors and 5+ years, this was a massive effort by @Elliot_Gould_ @HannahSFraser @TimParker88 and co. Open access 👉 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A lack of genetic variation can constrain adaptation, and correlations between trait variability and divergence are testaments of that. But how do we interpret such correlations when they last over many millions of years? New paper with @rohner_patrick nature.com/articles/s4155…

Please RT! We’re hiring 5 Project assistants/Field assistants for a population study of damselflies with @EvolOdonata and @MasahitoTsuboi as PIs. Besides research and field work experience, a beautiful Swedish summer awaits! DM me for questions. lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

Current statistical projections of pest impact under climate change neglect the role of rapid genetic adaptation. Burc et al. show that evolutionary responses in pest life history traits in response to temperature can magnify agricultural loss. nature.com/articles/s4146…
