PS, I'll present recent work from Felix Jäger, PhD student in my group. The talk is entitled "Between Friends and Foes - Evolutionary #Diversification in Mutualistic-Antagonistic Networks" and based on our joint #preprint.

Finally, Felix‘ #ecoevo paper is back from #PeerReview:
"…this manuscript is an important contribution that almost uniquely explores the evolutionary transitions between #mutualism through #commensalism and on to #antagonism, and vice versa. […] Not only are the results strong, but some of them are surprising, and in interesting ways that will be worth exploring in future years"
Thank you! 🤩

Big news! Felix Jäger will soon join the #ecoevo #modelling group at @unihohenheim as a doctoral researcher funded by the Studienstiftung! Hooray! He will study transitions from #mutualism to #antagonism and vice versa within #networks of interacting species.
(Btw, he received the good news just one day after I insisted on having him on the new group picture, even though he was not yet an official group member. So maybe I found the recipe for funding success?)

Out today in PNAS: "The paradox of adaptive trait clines with nonclinal patterns in the underlying genes" https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2220313120 This study shows that under complex multivariate adaptation, trait clines can evolve despite nonmonotonic allele frequency patterns across environmental gradients. These patterns are not discovered by genotype–environment association methods, which are widely used to discover adaptation. #EvolutionPaper #EcoEvo #SLiM #Genetics #Genomics #EvolgenPaper #PopGen
