Goldfish phenomics reveals commonalities and a lack of universality in the domestication process for ornamentation

Abstract. Domestication process effects are manifold, affecting genotype and phenotype, and assumed to be universal in animals by part of the scientific co

The structure of the environment influences the patterns and genetics of local adaptation

Abstract. Environmental heterogeneity can lead to spatially varying selection, which can, in turn, lead to local adaptation. Population genetic models have

Unraveling mate choice evolution through indirect genetic effects

Abstract. Attractiveness is not solely determined by a single sexual trait but rather by a combination of traits. Because the response of the chooser is ba

Genomic patterns in the dwarf kingfishers of northern Melanesia reveal a mechanistic framework explaining the paradox of the great speciators

Abstract. The paradox of the great speciators describes a contradictory biogeographic pattern exhibited by numerous avian lineages in Oceania. Specifically

Assessing the role of mitonuclear interactions on mitochondrial function and organismal fitness in natural Drosophila populations

Abstract. Mitochondrial function depends on the effective interactions between proteins and RNA encoded by the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. Evidence

Does the inherent sex difference in gamete size drive sex roles? In a recent @evolletters.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1093/evle...

Evolutionary theory predicts the difference in gamete size b/w females and males explains the direction of sexual selection. Two studies seem to provide contradictory evidence, but a study in @evolletters.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1093/evle...

The correlation between anisogamy and sexual selection intensity—the broad theoretical predictions

Abstract. Darwin and Bateman suggested that precopulatory sexual selection is more intense on males than females, and that this difference is due to anisog

The role of between-group signaling in the evolution of primate ornamentation

Abstract. Gregarious mammals interact to varying degrees and in a variety of ways with neighboring groups. Since navigating this wider social environment v
