Here are some 2024 highlights of PCI and Peer Community Journal.📊 Grateful to everyone who contributed to this success🦸. We're excited and prepared for an amazing 2025🤩!

New paper with Antoine Fraimout on dissecting the genetic architecture of quantitative traits is here

Happy to share this post, and new paper with @AFraimout in Molecular Ecology
https://x.com/AFraimout/status/1762499704448012541?t=nfrIg-zRzPWZcfIsYM53sA&s=09

We currently have two open PhD positions available in our group! 1) a project in experimental plant ecology focussing on fitness consequences of trait-mediated interactions between the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera, native plants and their pollinators (from the plant perspective, see https://ecology.uni-hohenheim.de/flint for full job description)! 2) a project on farmland birds (within the HABIT doctoral college, see https://www.uni-hohenheim.de/en/job-openings?tx_unijobs_joboffers%5Bjoboffer%5D=3605&tx_unijobs_joboffers%5Baction%5D=show&tx_unijobs_joboffers%5Bcontroller%5D=Joboffer&cHash=e0d1e31d1db3c9835bb0dfddedc72be5). Application deadline for both positions is 19 Jan 2024!

Our first time using @PeerCommunityJournal -- why would anyone pay for-profit publishers when you can get stuff out OA for free? Literally the same peer review, literally the same article.

If you're a researcher and don't know PCI yet, check them. This is the future.

Last year I joined a bunch of very clever people in Chicago for a few days and we put together the bones for a handbook on how to hire, manage and retain data scientists and research software engineers in academic settings. It's now out!

Boosts are welcome - we hope this will be helpful for a lot of people working in the software-producing corner of academia. Thanks to the folks at ADSA and @us_rse for putting it together!

An exciting first post - happy to see @leze’s first PhD project out for you all to read! Would be happy for feedback - we combine simulations with analysis of Arabis alpina to look at load accumulation and genetic purging in sellers versus outcrossers

Bravo to this author team for contributing such a useful open science resource

There were three men came out of the West
Three kings both great and high
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon must die.

They took a tank and ran him down
With bullets in his head
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon was dead

But when the Spring came kindly on
And showers began to fall
John Mastodon got up again
And did surprise them all...

New article recommended at PCI Evolutionary Biology this morning!

How does the mode of evolutionary divergence affect reproductive isolation?
by Bianca De Sanctis, Hilde Schneemann, and John J. Welch

Two excellent, in-depth guides to Mastodon, which should answer many of your questions, are here:

1. An Increasingly Less-Brief Guide to Mastodon by joyeusenoelle: https://github.com/joyeusenoelle/GuideToMastodon

2. Nikodemus' Guide to Mastodon: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D9gfeKg_-hlsU66R-dLEvUeyMsqEfyIx2pnfUeX0t_E/edit#heading=h.j95atvlbfrn5

hei,
finally found my way :)
great to see the #evolution and #ecology community here!
hope to share some of our research taking place at the #UniversityOfHelsinki on #EcoEvolutionaryModelling, #ExperimentalEvolution, #genetics of #adaptation, and #ComputerModelling in #EvolutionaryBiology, with a focus on genetics of #ComplexTraits, #QuantitativeGenetics, and #PopulationGenetics, not forgetting #EcoEvolutionaryDynamics.
