How do mating signals diverge early in speciation? Rodríguez et al. conduct experimental host shifts with Enchenopa treehoppers that resulted in subtle but non-trivial signal divergence in a few generations. This was fueled by standing genetic variation and plasticity, and unrelated to host specialization.

How #ParentalCare affects the Evolution of #GeneticVariation by Rahia Mashoodh. Not sure if it’s parentale care per se or strong #Selection pressures related to the novel environmental conditions caused by preventing parental care that are responsible for the changes in genetic variation, but the approach and the questions were very neat! #Behaviour2023

Some #FoodForThought from the #researchpaper linked above💡💡💡
“Importantly, in my view, the term ‘genetically similar to’ also helps to avoid the assumption of homogeneity within labels; ‘similar to’ does not imply ‘same as’. Similarity-based sample descriptors also move us some way to acknowledging the continuous nature of #geneticvariation across #humangroups in our sample descriptions. I am more genetically similar to some samples than I am to others, but that does not imply that there are natural groupings. Nor do similarity-based labels imply how I, as an individual, might choose to identify or what distribution of environments I might experience. For example, a person may be genetically similar to 1000 #Genomes samples labeled Southern Asian, yet in itself this similarity does not identify them as Southern Asian, whereas stating that a person has ‘Southern Asian #geneticancestry ’ comes much closer to making that linkage in people’s minds.
Working out the #genealogicalhistory of individuals and of groups of people from around the world is a fascinating area of research, but it should not be the day job of the majority of researchers in the field of #humangenetics , who instead need accurate sample descriptors of current day #geneticdiversity that aid clear communication.”

#introduction
Hi fellow ecoevo socialites! My name is Walid Mawass and I hail from the small country of Lebanon, currently in the US (previously Canada and France). I count myself as an #evolutionarygeneticist, my research interests focus on #naturalselection and #geneticvariation. I work with both #quantitativegenetics and #populationgenetics models, heavy on the computation. I am currently working on #mutationload and #populationdynamics. Other interests include #music #policy #education
