- Reposted by Emma Chandler (she/her)dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

- Reposted by Emma Chandler (she/her)Thanks for this contribution to "Ecology"!
- V. pleased to have this out in Ecology @esajournals.bsky.social - evidence for limiting similarity vs. pre-adaptation (Darwin's naturalisation conundrum) vary across very fine spatial scales and when using phylogenetic vs. functional metrics! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

- Reposted by Emma Chandler (she/her)New paper out today in Ecology Letters! In this synthesis we dive into the equilibrium assumption in ecology - why it's everywhere in ecological theory, the evidence for it in nature, when meeting the assumption is important, how to achieve it in empirical research, and more! tinyurl.com/yh6kyysm

- Reposted by Emma Chandler (she/her)Ecology faces an accumulation of models but not an accumulation of confidence. Our new paper w/ Jonathan Levine www.nature.com/articles/s41... in @natecoevo.nature.com introduces a rigorous test rooted in queueing theory to falsify inadequate models and build confidence in useful ones.

- Reposted by Emma Chandler (she/her)Does phenotypic plasticity promote (Baldwin effect) or hinder (Mayr) genetic adaptation? Lambert et al. mathematically show that when adaptive plasticity increases, the Baldwin effect increases, peaks then decreases as plasticity begins to mask selection. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

- Reposted by Emma Chandler (she/her)Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... ), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants

- Reposted by Emma Chandler (she/her)I'm looking for PhD students to join the lab starting August 2026. We study the evolution of insect chemical signals so if you're interested in evolutionary biology, chemical ecology, molecular biology, behavior, or genetics, this could be a good fit for you!
