Advance access version of our paper "Selection on accessible chromatin regions in Capsella grandiflora" led by Robert Horvath now up at MBE. DEEP at Stockholm University SciLifeLab academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

How does mating system shape the evolution of genes involved in pollen competition? We studied genomic signatures of sexual selection on pollen expressed-genes in A. alpina populations w varying mating system.

Our paper “Controlling for variable transposition rate with an age-adjusted site frequency spectrum” is now published in GBE. academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-ar… Thanks to Mitra Menon , Michelle Stitzer and Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra for your help during this project.

If you are interested in this fellowship or know someone who might be, there is still time to apply - we are just getting started processing applications. Feel free to contact me for informal questions about the project and the fellowship.

📢📢📢 Join our virtual meeting to know more about all the exciting research lead by the Brachypodium community!

We are hiring! With Levi Yant 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸 we are opening two #ERC postdoc positions in population and structural genomics of polyploidy. Join us in beautiful Prague to study evolutionary consequences of whole genome duplication across plant species. Apply by 30 Oct. tinyurl.com/4e43wcy7

Very proud of Michael Thieme latest preprint!

Postdoc position Universität Freiburg - do you want to work with us on the phenology of tropical tree species in Ecuador? Topics are interaction with flower visitors, a citizen science approach, and more! uni-freiburg.de/universitaet/j… #postdocposition #phenology apply until 01/12/23!

The last results of my Ph.D. are now available as a preprint. In this project, we studied the evolution of distyly breakdown in Linum trigynum (with Tanja Slotte , Marco & others).

Open PhD position aimed at revealing the molecular basis of convergent adaptation. Collaborative project with mates_fendrych labs. Functional follow-up on adaptive candidiate genes in Arabidopsis!

We have been studying plant-animal interactions across forest strata in Peru in the amazing liana species Marcgravia longifolia - and now our paper on vertically stratified interactions of nectarivores and nectar-inhabiting bacteria is out! Have a look: bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…

Interested in evolutionary genomics/population genomics and plant genetics? Want to do your PhD in beautiful Stockholm? We have two 4-year PhD student positions available in my group at Stockholm University. More info, see tanjaslottelab.se Please RT #ecrchat #PhD 1/4

Great start to the week with our study on flowering time in B. distachyon published in Genetics Society of America We found quantitative effects of the envt. on flowering-time-related traits but signs of polygenic selection at flowering time genes! More here 👇 academic.oup.com/genetics/advan…
