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

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
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 🧵)
Carly LynsdaleTonight! 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!

Graham CoopOK 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.
