Domino JoyceYesterday my salmonid genomics PhD student Paolo Moccetti passed his viva - congratulations! Thank you Jamie Stevens for externalling and Jon Bolland for being a fab co-supervisor. You can find Paolo's chapters in preprint/published here, and if he didn't already have a great job to go to, I would be recommending him for post docs :)

Rob Knell1) New paper out! Alternative reproductive tactics and evolutionary rescueβdo low-condition males that acquire matings by other means affect the rate of adaptation? Intuitively you'd think yes: some of these males will have poor condition because of maladaptive alleles or a high mutational load, so if the alternative tactic increase the input of their genes into the next generation that should be A Bad Thing

Hughes, Grace GreggoryTonight while out on my walk, I came upon a small snake, belly up and silver in the moonlight.
At first, I did not realize it was a snake at all. It was glinting like the thick chain of a snapped necklace. I went to pick it up, and two seconds before I touched it, I realized what it was and pulled back to investigate more carefully with a little distance. Itβs in perfect shape, so Iβm not sure how it met its end, except that we had a heavy rain earlier today and it may have drowned. 1/
@davelunt πis that a challenge? Looks like 3mm, although Iβm in new territory with images.
@anboa4 imperial Allen keys? I must be younger than I thought.
My crap superpower: I can look at any Allen bolt and tell you what size Allen key you need, no trial and error required.

Comparative anatomy of venom glands suggests a role of maternal secretions in gall induction by cynipid wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae)
Abstract. Many herbivorous insect species are capable of hijacking plant development to induce novel plant organs called galls. In most groups of galling insect
