Do we really understand how complex systems evolve? Based on experimental evolution in stable vs fluctuating temperature conditions, we show that adaptive mutations in the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici are (i) massively pleiotropic, and (ii) opposed to the phenotypic plasticity.
Come and join our team! A 2-year postdoc position is available in our "Genome Evolution" department at Univ Paris Saclay. We want to play with phylogenetic models accounting for horizontal transfers of transposable elements. Application& details on the official portal: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...
We were all very sad to learn the death of Pierre Capy. Pierre was a professor at University Paris Saclay, in the 1990s, he started a group working on the evolutionary genomics of transposable elements; this group is still very active today. He was a great teacher, mentor, and colleague.

Very proud to see this work highlighted by the journal! Publishing in Evolution has always meant something special to me. Congrats to the first author Sylvain Pouzet who found the energy to keep on working on his master project during his PhD.

Abstract. The current economics of scientific publishing reveal a profound imbalance: academia pays prices far exceeding the actual costs of publication. R

Pierre Capy était un généticien, un drosophiliste, un acteur majeur dans l'essor de la génétique des éléments transposables en France.
Très impliqué dans l'administration de la vie scientifique, il a aussi été directeur du laboratoire LEGS (actuel @EGCE), et un des fondateurs en 2016 de @IDEEV.
