Amazing thread by @vdbijl.bsky.social about the story of this paper. And it is a beast of a paper, combining thousands of fish, computer-aided vision, convoluted neural nets, quantitative genetics, GWAS, sex chromosomes, genomics and sexual selection. There is something here for nearly everyone.

🚨 Super exited to see our paper on the inheritance and genetic basis of guppy color variation come out in @natecoevo.nature.com‬ rdcu.be/eugWV
Guppy males have enormous variation in color patterns, with many combinations of ornamental spots and stripes. But where does all this variation come from?
