Who really lives fast and dies young? In Drosophila, females show faster ageing and reproductive senescence than males across social environments, overturning sexual selection predictions and highlighting social effects on ageing. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...

Fast females, slow males: accelerated ageing and reproductive senescence in Drosophila melanogaster females across diverse social environments
Abstract. Females and males typically differ in lifespan, patterns of ageing, and reproduction. General explanations for variation in the magnitude of this

How do genetic variances and covariances evolve over deep time? This paper unifies quantitative genetics and macroevolution with analytical models for G-matrix evolution on phylogenies, enabling new tests of multivariate trait evolution.

Multivariate trait evolution: models for the evolution of the quantitative genetic G-matrix on phylogenies

Our latest rant w/ Simone Blomberg in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social - The fallacy of single imputation. We make a convincing case that single imputation is misleading and should not be (mis)used especially for trait datasets (also confirmed by simulations)
