Ok. Many rounds of review and revision later, our article entitled “Transitions between phases of genomic differentiation during stick-insect speciation” is now accepted at Nature Ecology and Evolution. Thanks for the patience of all involved.

Tim’s paper is accepted in Evolution. It shows how maladaptive gene flow can reduce patch occupancy, thus contributing to extinction-colonisation dynamics in meta-populations.

Long time between posts; I’ve been slacking on this front. Some recent good news is that our paper (led by Aaron) examining the genetics of colour-polymorphism in two species of stick-insect is accepted for publication in Evolution. Congratulations Aaron.

Congratulations one final time Aaron. Find the article about how selection and genetic architecture can constrain speciation here: PDF

nuff said. congrats all, especially Aaron.

A paper in the Rhagoletis system that I am author on (Egan et al. 2015 Ecology Letters), showing correspondence of within-generation experimental selection responses to divergence of natural populations, is accepted at Ecology Letters. This paper mirrors the one in … Continue reading →

I’ve been poor at posting news. Aaron successfully completed his PhD – congratulations Aaron – and Rudy has moved to his new position in London – congratulations Rudy. We are working on writing and revising manuscripts, and plans have already … Continue reading →

Moe’s paper on stages (or lack thereof) of radiation in cichlids is now published in Proceedings B. Congratulations Moe.

Romain and Doro join the lab soon as new post-doctoral researchers. Welcome both to the team! In other news, NERC recently funded our grant on using genomic tools to study the evolution of C3 and C4 photosynthesis in grasses. Pascal-Antoine … Continue reading →
