New study from my lab! Led by prior student Sasha Bishop, along w/ co-author @johnstinchcombe.bsky.social 🌸
We performed a resurrection study on morning glory and found that within 9 years, adaptive potential declined by 96%

A resurrection experiment reveals reduced adaptive potential in a common agricultural weed

Excited to be presenting my work at #Evol2026 @evolmtg.bsky.social ! I will be talking about how adaptations that allowed persistence in former LGM refugia can make rear-edge populations more resilient to future warming! My talk will be Sunday 21 at 10.15am in the Adaptation I session (room 25B)

I am obviously a biased source, but there's a reason why Evolution still has a substantial virtual component to the conference. And the combination of very low fees plus some headline events is a whole lot of that.
If you're interested but haven't registered, the virtual meeting is *very* cost effective, ranging from $10 for students to $40 for professional non-members!
