Thank you so much @prrnhd , Bernhard Seifert, Pekka Punttila, Roland Schultz, Mirkka Jones, Jukka Sirén, Heikki Helanterä, and Jonna Kulmuni, as well as Molecular Ecology and the reviewers. Now time to celebrate. 🥂 5/5

The balance of these selection pressures affects the hybrids' future & is a great avenue for future research. Our approach, combining genomic, morphological and climatic data, wouldn't have been possible w-out the wonderful collaboration and combined expertise of all authors. 4/5

Finding these independent further gen. admixed pops (here 🔴) leads us to highlight the eco-evo consequences of extensive mosaic hybrid zones, within which 🔴 face an array of ecological and intrinsic selection pressures (👀 literature on +/- effects of 🐜 hybridisation). 3/5

In #sympatry, as in Finland, the 🐜🐜🐜 #hybridise extensively and form a mosaic #hybrid #zone: #admixed populations (♦️) alternate in space with non-admixed pops (🟢&🟠) with different climatic adaptations. The ♦️ occupy warmer nest sites than their cold-adapted parent (🟢)! 2/5

Can semipermeable species boundaries facilitate persistence in a changing #climate? Our new work on 5 wood #ant 🐜 species seems to support this. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16992 We show that... 1/5 (a thread 🧵)

Tonight! come along, have a drink and hear about evolutionary biology, butterflies, elephants, fish and more! from 18:00 at Coolhead in Viikki :) #NightofScience

Folks in Helsinki! Come hear about the great science done at the Viikki campus tomorrow at CoolHead brewery (and why not grab a cold one at the same time). #NightOfScience @helsinkiuni @OEB_Helsinki @HiLIFE_helsinki @BIOTECH_UH Please RT!

OK sounds like #EvolgenPaper is good hashtag for adding to toots and threads on Evolutionary and Population Genetics papers

We could use #EvolutionPaper for papers more generally associated with Evolutionary Biology.

Please RT this and consider using these for tooting about papers, your own of those of others. That way we'll be able to keep track of them all more.

Postdoc, come work with us! A two-year #postdoc #position open in our supportive & great #SpecIAnt group in Helsinki, Finland (led by Jonna Kulmuni). Please share! #evolution #genomics #speciation #hybridization https://jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki-Post-Doctoral-Researcher-in-Evolutionary-Genomics%2C-Speciation-and-Hybridization/761044102/

#Hybridization is frequent in the wild but are the outcomes predictable and if so, how quickly? @prrnhd @jonna_kulmuni &co reveal correlated sorting of genetic variation across 3 independent hybrid #WoodAnt populations in <50 generations #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3GaO5uL

With help from other contributors (thanks @naupaka @DavidLowry), I have spent the last few days putting together a rules, etiquette, and documentation dedicated to ecoevo.social.
Please read it before continuing this server: https://docs.ecoevo.social

Especially Rules and Etiquette!

This is a work in progress and I welcome contributions on it through github (https://docs.ecoevo.social/how-to-contribute.html).

Don't hesitate to offer your wisdom especially if it allows this community to increase inclusiveness :mastolove:

@stevetypesstuff @bertiespell Great suggestion, thanks!
