Dark-eyed juncos living in urbanized Los Angeles have shorter bills than juncos in nearby natural areas— but while UCLA was closed for COVID-19 safety, campus juncos evolved longer bills again

Urban evolution (Habitat 🌄)

Urban evolution refers to the heritable genetic changes of populations in response to urban development and anthropogenic activities in urban areas. Urban evolution can be caused by mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, or evolution by natural selection. Biologists have observed evolutionary change in numerous species compared to ...

New preprint by the team on the vanishing chromosomal footprint of an anthropogenic introgression of locally favoured foreign genes

Falling shoulders ahead: adaptive alien genes are maintained amid vanishing introgression footprint in sea squirts. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.21.558831v1

Sometimes dreams really do come true!🌠

Many thanks to #NYBG #EcoFlora for inviting me to share my research on how #cities impact plant-pollinator interactions and evolution in common #milkweed with the community scientists of Mannahatta and beyond!

If you're interested in #UrbanEcology, #UrbanEvolution, #pollinators, or #plants and want a break from the jargon of academia... 😉 ➡️ https://youtu.be/ciLi7oXuH3U

Last year I submitted a project to the #ANR, it didn't pass but we took the opportunity to write a perspective paper here 👇:

A repost from the previous server:

Hi there 👋 a bit overdue #introduction. I am an evolutionary biologist interested in #Genomics #Speciation #Hybridization #MarineBiology #UrbanEvolution. Working currently as a postdoc at UC Davis with @gcbias. I like outdoor sports and hiking. #biking everyday to work (#vélotaf comme on dit en français). French (#Normandie) but mostly tooting in English for work.
Moving because of #TwitterTakeover but also for my own sanity.
