This is so cool, and makes me thing of Lynn Margulis claims that cell fusion, symbiosis are at the heart of speciation. #wildlife #evodevo #evolbiol #combjellies

If you wonder what additive genetic variance could mean in the context of a plastic trait in a heterogeneous environment, and how to estimate it, go check it out!

This has been a long time in the work, and we realised quite a few things ourselves doing it!
