Can species adapt to a changing world? Where in the genome does adaptation occur? A study in great tits found clear genetic and epigenetic differences between selection lines for early vs late lay date by @Me_Lindner @m_e_visser @KvanOers @VeronikaNLaine doi.org/10.1111/eva.13703

New publication: Genetic and epigenetic differentiation in response to genomic selection for avian lay date, by @Me_Lindner @KvanOers @m_e_visser #climatechange #evolution #adaptation #parusmajor #DNAmethylation #breedingtime doi.org/10.1111/eva.13703

📣 Come work with us! 🎉 #PDRA position in my group @EEB_Sheffield on the #evolution and #genomics of sexual signals in stalk-eyes flies! Exciting questions and methods, awesome study system, and a friendly group and department.

Excited to host the 6th Annual Seasonality Symposium this Friday, December the 1st from 900-1830h. There is an excellent group of speakers talking about the latest advances in seasonal research across the spectrum of life. All online and free to attend. Please DM for zoom details

Our ecologist's guide for studying DNA methylation variation appeared in an issue. The cover illustration made by @KristavdHeuvel illustrates the route from animal to environment. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @AnimalEcol_NIOO @VeronikaNLaine @BerniceSepers @Me_Lindner @RuuskanenSuvi

Early birds of the future: earlier, but still too late? Our researchers @AnimalEcol_NIOO took a sneak peek into the birds’ future, to predict the future impact of climate change on nature. nioo.knaw.nl/en/news/early-b… @m_e_visser @Me_Lindner @babi_mt @ScienceAdvances

New NIOO publication: #Genotypes selected for early and late avian lay date differ in their #phenotype, but not #fitness, in the wild, by @Me_Lindner @babi_mt @JipRamakers and others. #parusmajor #greattit #layingdate doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.ade63…

In a 3-year genomic selection experiment in the wild involving more than 2000 Dutch great tits, researchers found that the birds’ reproductive success was not affected by laying eggs early or late in the season. scim.ag/2Zd

Excited to see our paper on genomic selection in wild great tits out in @ScienceAdvances. Grateful to have contributed to this big team effort with @JipRamakers, Irene Verhagen, @babi_mt, Christa Mateman, Phillip Gienapp & @m_e_visser! scim.ag/2WM

It is great that I can combine my hobby as photographer with being a scientist. So proud that my picture landed on the cover of @molecology with the paper of @Me_Lindner as the reason for this! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @AnimalEcol_NIOO @niooknaw @m_e_visser @HeidiViitaniemi

Get your abstracts ready and join us for the #SMBE2023 symposium #15 “Animal genomics goes wild” - submission closes March 15! smbe2023.org/abstractsubmiss… With @m_e_visser @indianadiez @andersbrgstrm and two fantastic invited speakers @SuseJohnston & @ElineLorenzen

The Lord then said to Noah, "Take with you a genomics abstract for every kind of animal, submit it to #SMBE2023 symposium #15". Don't miss our Noah's Ark of wild animal genomics (#aDNA too!), invited speakers @SuseJohnston & @ElineLorenzen, w/ @Me_Lindner @m_e_visser @indianadiez
