Morning at Lennox Head, a field site made famous in the local adaptation literature by Daniel Ortiz-Barrientos’ group, with their work on Dune vs Headland Senecio. I am fortunate to be here with his group this week to learn from them about their system.

Here's a resource I put together on Shiny Apps in Population Genetics - useful for teaching others or yourself! The resource is editable, just let me know if you want access. Many thanks to all the developers @silastittes and others who I can't find on Mastodon yet =)

Spent an amazing day in the field with Daniel Ortiz-Barrientos (@dortizba) and his lab looking a populations of Senecio lautus that are locally adapted to headland versus sand dune habitats. You can read about some of their latest work in this recent paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2004901118 #Evolution #LocalAdaptation #Speciation #plants #Australia

Hello everyone, I am a Professor at Stockholm University into #EvolutionaryGenomics and #popgen. I work on #PlantEvolution, especially mating system evolution and distyly supergenes. Looking forward to rebuilding my science social network here #TwitterExit

The intellectual intersection between evolutionary geneticists and breeders is profound (as historically expected).

We can benefit from more interactions between the two groups, particularly when solving the problem of past and contemporary adaptation.

Can we use past information on the adaptation process to predict the future response of populations to increases in temperature, drought, and environmental variance overall?

Today spoke at #tropAG2022. I reflected on the nature of genetic variation that is useful for agriculture and how sampling populations under stabilising versus directional selection can impact how we interpret the distribution and abundance of allelic effects and, therefore, the type of available variance for breeding programs. Also, I made an effort to highlight how evolutionary geneticists and breeders should talk more often to one another 😃. #CoEPlantSucess #UQnews
