This bridge can help improve estimation of parameters relevant to evolution and clarify how different sources of variation (genetic, environmental, etc.) shape phenotypic covariance.
A step toward a more integrated perspective on variation in evolution, combining #EvoDevo and #QuantitativeGenetics!

Contrasting evolutionary outcomes in a human life history trait which is heritable and under consistent unbiased directional selection Microevolution is well documented in natural populations, yet its persistence as an adaptive process remains debated. Despite widespread directional selection on heritable traits, including life-histo...

Fellow evo-bio folks of BlueSky! 🧬
New preprint out — based on work from my PhD (yes, Chapter 3!) — where I ask:
👉 How predictable and consistent are evolutionary responses to selection in natural populations?
Preprint: tinyurl.com/mr3r5vk3 #evolution #microevolution #quantitativegenetics #preprint

A central focus of the paper is the classic expectation that sexual dimorphism and the intersex genetic correlation should be negatively related.
This intuition is widespread in #QuantitativeGenetics — but our models show it’s not guaranteed. Sometimes the trend can even be positive.

Session 5 of #EPIC25 was all about #QuantitativeGenetics were we covered topics going from purifying selection in human traits, the genetics of tooth eruption, and large-scale scans for transmission ratio distortion of variants.

We are looking for quantitative geneticists here @kwsgroup.bsky.social

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Using Applied Quantitative Genetics to Uncover the Potential of Diversity-Enriched Wheat. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joi... For over a decade NIAB has been creating ‘diversity-enriched’ wheat with the aim of targeting the diversity bottleneck in modern cultivars. One route to diversity is Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat (SHW), f...

The next IGWSC webinar will take place on 4th of Dec with Tally Wright from @niab-uk.bsky.social to explore diversity-enriched wheat populations for genomic prediction to help breeders improve wheat cultivars.
