This prize honors Louis Bernatchez (d. 2023), who profoundly impacted EVA as EIC. He was dedicated to advancing science, fostering community, and mentoring future scientists. We honor his legacy by upholding excellence and supporting young scientists 🔬

Hong Kong’s introduced population of critically endangered yellow-crested cockatoos (~200 birds) shows very healthy genetics, avoiding inbreeding & low diversity. Maybe these city parrots serve as a genetic reservoir for the native range 🦜🧬

Study shows size-selective harvesting pushes guppies to evolve faster life histories (earlier maturation, higher fecundity). This was done over 10 years, using 14+ traits. This hints at anthropogenic stressors that affect large individuals in nature more than small ones 🐟

Sarah's study shows how pops. of conservation concern are often unique & specialized, but also vulnerable. The authors showed how a severe drought caused a dramatic shift in unarmoured stickleback in Rouge Lake (Haida Gwaii: before drought, 51% were unarmoured; after, only 13% 🐟
This unarmored trait that made this population “Special Concern” under Canadian law nearly disappeared after a demographic bottleneck. They show how conservation isn’t just about preventing extinction, but also about protecting what makes a population unique 🐟🧬

Can genomic offsets help future-proof selective breeding?
In this @evolappjournal.bsky.social perspective, we present a practical roadmap for translating evolutionary genomics into climate-resilient agriculture and aquaculture.

Our paper on #Chornobyl dark frogs, published @evolappjournal.bsky.social in 2022, just passed @altmetric.com score 1900. Four years later, and still gets noticed by all kinds of media, everywhere...
