@jacanamama Behavior adjacent, but I use it for "adaptive alleles" (if the audiences is unlikely to know "allele"). Good [versions of] genes. Twisting it to a human mating context is eugenics (not ok). Selective breeding for spp of conservation concern, p

@Sonja_Vernes @wileyneurosci @MPI_NL @maxplanckpress @VernesLab @bat1kgenomes How interesting! Wish I'd seen this sooner, I recently identified FOXP2 as a gene apparently under positive selection in a population of Myotis bats. I wish we understood the fun

#ResearchTuesday. White-nosed syndrome has been impacting bat populations for years, but new research found some bats with genetic changes had increased resilience to the disease. This kind of research that documents how species adapts is fascinating! http

I remember during my MSc learning about theoretical "selective sweeps" and wondering what would that look like in real life. See little brown bats and white-nose syndrome for Exhibit A. Very cool paper and (potentially) good news.
