Check out our group's latest population genetics paper exploring how a tough little minnow has evolved to survive in a soup of pollution at the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site. doi.org/10.1093/jue/...#evosky #evolsky #evolution #evobio #evolbiol #popgen #ecoevo #molevol

A map of the shoreline of southern New England, USA. Levels of PCBs are listed on the map. The highest levels are in New Bedford Harbor. Below the map is a structure diagram showing a general east / west split. However the populations in New Bedford are distinct from this general pattern.

The upper figure presents the effective population size over ~400,000 years of the blue antelope compared to that of the roan and the sable antelope. The trajectory of the blue antelope is much lower. The lower figure shows the relative sea level over the same time span.

Colonial-driven extinction of the blue antelope despite genomic adaptation to low population size

Hempel et al. show that prior to its extinction, the blue antelope had a low population size and diversity over millennia, unaffected by glacial cycles. However, no signs of inbreeding and extensive p...

Quite impressive to see how quickly 23I (BA.2.86 including JN.1 - shown here in light blue) has come to dominate globally, even across areas that had slightly different previous mixes of variants. 🌎 (Charts from #CoVariants covariants.org/per-country) 1/4

Two related things that always irks me in evolutionary biology is the assertion that there's no direction to evolution and that abiogenesis and evolution are two separate processes. They're not. Thermodynamics and complexity drive and unite them. #evosky #evolution #evobio #molevol #systematics
