Our latest issue features a Q&A with Noni Franklin-Tong, who studied self-incompatibility in the field poppy at the University of Birmingham, where she is now Emeritus Professor of Plant Cell Biology. Find out why she began studying biology here: www.cell.com/current-biol...
Carlson et al. build a mathematical model considering how genotype-by-environment interactions can maintain variation and parametrize their model to test its applicability to real mutualisms.

Does balancing selection maintain fitness variance? Yes, when drift and environmental fluctuations are in play!
I discuss why this matters for plant adaptation to climate change. 🌱🌡️

Abstract Coevolution requires reciprocal genotype-by-genotype (G × G) interactions for fitness, which occur when the fitness of a genotype in one species depends on the genotype it interacts with in a...

My first solo author paper is now available in early view at Methods in Ecology and Evolution! I develop a covariance reaction norm (CRN) model for estimating continuous, multivariate, and nonlinear environmental effects on G and P matrices.

Excited to share our new paper in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social on data and code archiving at @britishecologicalsociety.org journals. TL;DR: Data archiving rates are high, code archiving rates are low, documentation needs to be improved! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.....

🧬🌸 So happy to see this out in @molecology.bsky.social!!
We show that strong hybrid seed inviability evolved rapidly between two incipient lineages of one of the fastest documented radiation in flowering plants, playing a key role in their diversification.

🌱 How do seed traits shape plants life?
🧬 We show the link between the genetic architecture of adaptation in seed traits, climate and pollinator communities in the wild plant Brassica incana.

Flowering plants have many modes of sexual reproduction, notably varying from selfing to outcrossing, and from bisexual flowers to individuals with separate sexes (dioecy). These reproductive modes ...
Understanding the mechanisms underlying fast diversifications is central to evolutionary biology. This can be partly achieved by focusing on intrinsic reproductive barriers that emerge during early s...
A study conducted on the wild plant Brassica incana identifies a complex genetic architecture underlying seed trait adaptation and shows how several candidate genes overlap with those involved in adap...

Great two days of BES data/code hack-a-thon. 111 people (in person + online) collating data and chatting about open science. Big take homes so far: people ❤️ open science; data/code archiving means different things to different people; we can make some simple improvements with big impacts!
