Postdoc offer, 24 months at INRAE Grenoble: how does the demography of European trees shape their response to climate change and the role of local adaptation? Using the Matreex forest model and recent European NFI data. Start Feb–Mar 2027, apply by 16 Nov.

Why do some animals continue to live long after they have stopped reproducing? And what about sex differences in lifespan? Apply here to find out 😀: I have ARIES DTP PhD position together with Tracey Chapman, Simone Immler, see below! aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships...

🚨Interested in #evolutionary #genomics and #popgen #theory? My lab just opened a 1+ year #postdoc position to work on sex chromosome dosage compensation. At #CEFE in beautiful Montpellier. Deadline soon, don't be shy, apply, theory is exciting! 👉 bit.ly/4eMWDIh

New preprint just online, led by Fay Frost and me: comparing the thermal sensitivity of 300+ invertebrate life history traits shows that reproduction is more sensitive than lifespan to warming. Studies focusing on survival may be underestimating the effect of warming on animal populations 🔥🔥🔥

Question: do I know anyone near Nantes who would be willing to pick up a dead gull-billed tern and its logger? L49 has sadly been killed near a road. I’d be very grateful for a picture and the logger and would of course reimburse postage.

New pre-print led by the amazing @patricepottier.bsky.social - very little evidence for evolution of life history traits in response to warming, even in insects. Rapid adaptation is unlikely to mitigate the continuing impacts of climate change 🔥🔥🔥
